Insurance fraud?

[johnny2007]

Trump has declared many things in his life.

I'm struggling to think of any which were true.

He said he wouldn't start any war in his last presidency and he kept the promise.
Unlike most other left presidents...

I can't help noticing that despite you being asked multiple times you still cannot identify a single feature which to you signifies "luxury".

But I don't need to wonder why.

I thought it would be clear by mentioning make and model of my robbed car.
I forgot that your idea of luxury is a Fiat 127...

I did.

You didn't.

many predictions have come true.

Name one, I've asked many times.

I thought it would be clear by mentioning make and model of my robbed car.

Steering wheel?

Seats?

Windows?

Brake lights?

A badge consisting of 4 overlapping rings?

I'm afraid that what is abundantly clear is that you cannot articulate one single feature of the car which you regard as meaning it is a "luxury" car.

Not one.

I forgot that your idea of luxury is a Fiat 127...

I'd hate for you to be fretting about a failing memory, so I'll reassure you that you didn't "forget" that - you never knew it.

You didn't

You really do have a serious problem with this bonkers idea that you can make false statements and they will magically change reality, don't you...

You have only to look around the world at the people who are pleased about this, to know what a crap idea it is. You're pleased, obviously, as is Putin. I suspect that chap running North Korea will be pleased too....
On the downside, I imagine the Ukrainians won't be too please, and there's a very real chance that Russia will move its border closer to us...

...but maybe that's what you want...?

Trump. Climate change. Fossil fuels. Brexit. Common denominators

You've scraped the bottom of the barrel.

Yes, it's amazing how they go hand-in-hand... Don't like the situation you're facing? NO PROBLEM! Just invent yourself another one! Doesn't matter if it's BS, the important thing is that it's *your* very own "personal truth" - whether it's true or not...

 

[Avocet]

You've scraped the bottom of the barrel.

Yet you're the one pining for your chavwagon!

 

[Avocet]

I thought people might like to see some videos of plastic milk-floats

Yeah...but...

...everyone knows you can't have an EV that fast (or luxurious)...

 

[morqthana]

You've scraped the bottom of the barrel.

By pointing out repeatedly that I DID answer your question about climate change predictions?

By pointing out repeatedly that you HAVE NOT given any specific information about what feature(s) you think make a car a luxury one?

By reminding you many times that your fanciful inventions and falsehoods CANNOT change reality?


It is not I who is scraping the bottom of the barrel - it is you, and that barrel bears the legend "Utterly Discredited Nonsense".

Already said: I owned an A6 Le Mans full optional. Sit in one of them and see what luxury feels like.
Or even an old high spec Jag.

Many people regard quietness as the hallmark of luxury.

What was for years labelled "the best car in the world" was apocryphally so quiet that all you could hear was the ticking of the clock. Neither claim was correct, but it shows the importance attached to cars being quiet.

And there can be no doubt that car manufacturers spend a lot of money engineering out NVH, and stuff lots of sound deadening into their luxury models.

Want to talk about classic Jags? Here's a quote from Classic and Sports Car magazine in an article "Why the Jaguar XJ6 is the greatest saloon of all time":

"More than 50 years on from its launch in 1968, the Jaguar XJ6 remains the greatest British saloon car ever."

"Fast, silent and refined.... the cabin of an XJ proved to be an eerily peaceful place. Even 20 years later the opposition was struggling to match its low noise levels."

"When [the V12] appeared in 1972, though, it seemed like overkill. Nobody needed a saloon more silent than the XJ6."


It would seem, therefore, that an ICEV can never hope to match the luxury of an EV, given that the latter will always be intrinsically much quieter than the former.


If you hanker after luxury, you should buy an EV.

Of course dear...

Confirmed: you never sat in a luxury car.
Otherwise you'll know how quite they are.
Unlike the expensive milk float that creak at every bump and sound like elephants on knuckles.
Unless you're outside, then ev are quiter...

 

[carmanmemoranda]

Which ice luxury car is available that doesn't have an EV option ?

Which is quieter ?

Tell us you have no actual real experience of a luxury EV without telling us...

Mine rides really nicely in "comfort mode". Adjustable air suspension at the rear, see. Your Audi will have had that too, being a "luxury car"... Plus of course, the weight that people so often cry about, is your friend when it comes to ride quality. As for creaks over bumps, dream on! It's a BMW. To the already monumentally stiff shell, has been added an even stiffer battery pack. When it comes to refinement over poor surfaces, it'll make your old Audi look like a high mileage Reliant! Tyre noise is about the only place I can fault it. Even that, is only because the rest of it is so bloody quiet.

You picked a strange hill to die on, having a pop at EVs for refinement and ride quality...

 

[Avocet]

Incidentally, the best definition of a "luxury" car I eve came across, was an old one from (I think) Vanden Plas, back in the '50s. A "luxury car" is...

"one that you can get out of, with your hands in your pockets"...

Yep, you never sat in a luxury car.
