L405 Range Rovers (2012-2022) have an issue which could give the Owners a considerable amount of headaches; JLR made a very questionable engineering choice by using steel which is prone to rust to make the drainage tube for the panoramic sunroof, once this fails or gets clogged due to rust -Water will seep down the headliners & B pillars and drench the rear passenger footwells and potentially destroy electronics like the Amplifier, parking sensor modules,Camera modules, rear entertainment system & Body control modules in addition to other critical components.

I think if you have a sports car, a supercar, or a high-performance car, use all the power and potential of your car on a race track. For example, in Germany you can buy a ticket to the Nürburgring Nordschleife and race there as much as you want.

It still amazes me how many don't understand that the tow truck drivers are emergency response vehicles as well when responding to clear roadways. They have lights and horns going. They run the other lane to clear traffic faster. Please move over !
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Tow trucks are not authorized emergency vehicles in most US jurisdictions and lack privileges like using sirens or disregarding traffic laws while responding, unlike police fire or ambulances. legalclarity.org/are-tow-trucks… clickorlando.com/traffic/2026/0… engineerfix.com/can-tow-trucks…

75,000km with NO oil change? 😭 This engine should have given up at 20k. The fact that this Corolla still ran is a testimony that Toyota builds engines like Nokia 3310. But looking at that picture, that is not oil again. That is SLUDGE. Black, thick, like akara oil that has been used for 3 years. This is what happens inside when you don't change oil: 1. Oil turns to sludge — it can't flow, can't cool, can't protect 2. Oil pump gets blocked — engine starves 3. Timing chain wears out — you go hear "krr krr" on cold start 4. Engine overheats from inside — even if your temperature gauge looks normal 5. One day, engine just knocks. No warning. ₦1.2M - ₦1.8M for a new 2ZR engine in Lagos. And people will say "Toyota is reliable". Yes, but even Toyota needs oil. Rule in Nigeria, because of heat + traffic + bad fuel: - Full Synthetic Oil: Change every 8,000km - 10,000km MAX - Semi-Synthetic: Every 5,000km - If you drive in Lagos traffic every day: Do 5,000km, don't wait for 10k "But my mechanic said I can do 15,000km" Your mechanic is lying to you to sell you an engine later. Check your oil today: Pull the dipstick. If the oil is black like this picture, thick, and smells burnt, you are already late. Don't wait till your engine looks like this. Book an Oil Change + Engine Flush + Full Check on Whipcare. We use genuine oil, genuine filter, and we show you the old oil before we throw it away. Need genuine Toyota 0W-20 / 5W-30 + original filter? Order on Whipcart, 90 mins delivery in Lagos.

The Mini Cooper, a British classic since 1959, largely retains Alec Issigonis’s original concept-now larger and more modern, especially after BMW’s acquisition.
Which car has the most recognisable silhouette? No badges, no logos, just the shape. For me, it's the Porsche 911. That roofline, those curves, the way the rear slopes down. You could spot one from a distance without seeing a single badge.

In my opinion, the Mercedes Gelandewagen fits this definition brilliantly. The Mercedes Gelandewagen has been an SUV icon since 1979. Its boxy lines have barely changed, yet the car itself has transformed - from military workhorse to unmistakable symbol of status and wealth.

Who goes 46k miles without servicing? 🤯🤯🤯
1.8L 2ZR-FE engine in a Toyota Corolla: This vehicle did 75,000 kilometers (46,603 miles) with no oil change. I'm surprised it ran this long without breaking down. Bonus points to whoever can guess the owner's gender 🫠

How is this truck faster than a Mercedes C43 AMG going at 200 km/h? 😳 I don’t want to believe this.

Pop up headlights are such a distinctive part of automotive design, and I'd absolutely love to see them make a comeback. Porsche's classic Slantnose is a great example. The GT86 looks iconic with the widebody kit.
