Default THE LIST (i.e.: M7/A8 transmissions are the worst...)

There is no substitute for run flat tires.
Convertibles are better than coupes.
A8s are faster than manuals.
Driving a manual makes you a "real" driver
Guns are cool to carry around in your car.
The A8 tranny is worthless.
Black is the best color.
Washing your car.
Driving in the rain.
Daily driver v garage queen.

There. Did I hit every point that drives this forum?

And let's not forget : Z51, is it a model or option and is it better than base.

Don't forget the time honored motor oil debate.

Mychoiceisbestitis is pandemic in here. But at least sometimes there is some decent info scattered through it. You just have to filter out all the chaf.
