    I know what market liquidity is, but if I were to purchase or sell large amounts of Bitcoin I think it would definitely affect the price. I don't think Bitcoin has high liquidity a…

    I'm looking at getting an E46 330Ci and converting it to a track car. I found a fantastic example for £2,250.

    Apologies, I thought I’d edit a useless, incorrect comment into something useful and contributive to the discussion. It wasn’t an act of manipulation or deception. I have restored …

    You could argue that it’s not that drivers don’t care for good steering feedback, but most drivers never get to experience good steering feedback and therefore don’t know what it i…

    > You know, back when you could really feel what a car’s doing, blah, blah, blah. There is an argument to be made for this. In most new cars, whether ICE or electric, electric powe…

    Lithium ion batteries are both toxic in production and disposal.

    Most non-car folk synonymize performance with acceleration, when in fact acceleration is arguably less important than braking and cornering. After all, what good is being able to g…

    I agree, I think we have at least another one, perhaps two decades with gasoline engines. The sad news is that displacement will continue to get smaller, even in sports cars. The t…

    Boeing could have chosen to compete with the A380 and built their own Superjumbo, but they chose not to, instead working on the Dreamliner. The 744, which was the last update to th…

    The insurance policy for you and your family costs $20,000PA? I don't know about you, but to me that is madness. My private health cover with Bupa costs me less than $1200PA.

    This happens quite often to me! I ask someone a question and get a super enthusiastic answer! If it’s something I’m also interested in then we go to town, otherwise I tend to liste…

    I used be like that when I was at school. I was addicted to Modern Warfare and later Modern Warfare 2 to the extent where I almost got kicked out of school because I was getting su…

    Eh? Under what circumstances could worse brakes be better? High performance sedans, such as the Model S and F10 M5 don’t just need big brakes because of their speed, but also their…

    Model S is nothing like a 7 series or an S class. These are both executive cars and their class is decided on wheel base. In the EU a Model S is an S-segment car, whereas the 7 ser…

    I like to drive to Goodwood Motor Circuit once a month or so, which is about 80 miles each way and 160 miles round trip. The drive takes me on some of the best roads in West Sussex…

    I’ve just moved from a 3 hour commute from the suburbs to a 15 minute walk to work. While there are lots of positive changes to living so close to work, I’d just like to add some o…

    Good question! I don’t think it’s a scientific number, but rather based on the current price (approx. $15,000 at the time of writing) to represent a 10x increase in Bitcoin’s valua…

    A couple of the folks I know are just HODLing until BTC hits $150,000. Most of them bought Bitcoin when it was a couple of $, haven’t bought Bitcoin since and are just waiting it o…
