If you pay that kind of money, you shouldn't need to bother with peasant-like things like turning the wipers on yourself. Should be able to just recline in your heated vibrating chair and drive 85 up people's butts who shouldn't be on your road in the first place.

And hopefully there are TV's in every seat to raise the children. smiling smiley

I agree. And the damn thing should automatically start flashing high beams and laying on the horn when the distance to the car you're tailgating at 85 reaches 10 feet or less...

And double right for TVs for all children in the car.. That includes the driver.

Surely the way to decide best engine is with a good old fashioned race!

8 min vid but edge of the seat stuff.

5.7 SBC versus 2.5 4 cyl versus 1.6 4 cyl. Who needs class sizes or turbos.....

Most luxury cars have automatic wipers nowadays, too.

Meanwhile, I generally rig a separate button for the washer pump because the OEMs love to have the wipers sweep one or two too many times, smearing the windshield and resulting in a washer fluid MPG of around 20.

Wow! That was fun. I just got around to watching it.

I've never been a fan of "spec" cars in either rally or racing.
