Porsche 911 GT3 RS (Racing Shuttle)

Worried about missing your connecting flight?

Fret not!

Your 911 GT3 RS shuttle awaits you.

A select few Delta Airline passengers at LAX will be treated to a Guards Red GT3 RS when hopping from one flight to another.

Even as a marketing stunt, it’s still pretty cool.

I’d take this over running through a crowded airport any day - even if I have to sit with a suitcase on my lap. 🤭

How to stop a rolling buggy

This is the save of the century in my books! 🙌

Quick and decisive actions saved the day! Kudos to the driver.

After seeing the video, tons of people reached out offering to pay for the repairs.

1 license plate = 30 Rolls Royce Cullinan

If you’re wondering why I took the Cullinan as a reference point, it’s because the plate was fitted to one.

Costing a whopping $15 million, this Dubai license plate set the record for the most expensive license plate sold.

In case it isn’t clear, the place has just the number “7” on it.

It wasn’t any ordinary Cullinan though.

This particular one has a Mansory body kit, finished in a turquoise shade.

Can’t afford a Mercedes?
Get a Mecides

China has a vast lineup of replica cars, capitalizing on its lenient copyright laws.

A company called Mecides (yes, they copy brand names too) produces cars resembling everything from Bugattis to Broncos.

Even the brand symbols look similar! 😲

I’ve listed a few images here, but for the full gallery, check out this link.

Can you guess which cars the Mecides models are a copy of?

Btw, we have something similar in the supermarkets in the UK 😆

1/ JDM car pile-up

What happens when a Nissan GT-R runs a red light?

It crashes into a Nissan Z which in turn rear-ends a Subaru BRZ.

Money doesn’t buy brains, folks!

2/ Man steals truck with 10 new Corvettes

The irony?

He just got out of prison and wanted a ride home.

The only ride he’s getting now is straight back to jail.

3/ Audis can park anywhere…I think

Okay! So this wasn’t exactly a parking attempt gone wrong.

An Audi A4 driver jumped up over a curbed green space and onto the hood of a BMW X5, before coming to a rest between it and a Chevrolet Equinox.

1/ Tesla intentionally reducing range with updates?

We don’t know for sure yet.

But here’s what’s happening:

• Multiple owners claimed that Tesla intentionally damaged the batteries and reduced the driving range

• The update affects Model S and Model X vehicles

• Tesla sought to get the case dismissed but a judge in California has agreed to take them to trial

For a full rundown, check out the article below.

2/ The Nio ET9's "shake it off" feature

If you were impressed with the Porsche Panamera’s active suspension, I’d love to know your thoughts about the Nio ET9.

While the Panamera’s suspension seemed like a cool party trick, the ET9 has an actual use case - shaking snow off itself.

• The system is called Sky Ride and can independently control each wheel

• It allows the vehicle to remain level when driving over rough terrain

To prove how stable it is, the ET9 carried a pyramid of glasses while driving over speed bumps.

Impressive! 👏

3/ Tesla Cybertruck Wade Mode test

We’ve seen the Cybertruck go off-roading, but how well does it handle deep water?

One owner took the risk and found out.

In case you’re wondering what Wade Mode does:

• it increases the ride height to the maximum setting

• it pressurizes the battery pack to prevent water ingress

Do note: any water damage isn’t covered under warranty, despite Elon’s claims about how Tesla vehicles could float and briefly serve as a boat.

😆Memes 😆 

1/ We’ve all experienced this

2/ It ain’t lying if it’s true
