Grew up and currently live in the DMV. Can confirm that I am an asshole.

*SIGH* I’m a bit tired of people test-driving a 20+ year old car and claiming it was “underwhelming” without context. If the transmission, engine, and suspension were thrashed, your sample-size of “1" is irrelevant.

Exactly on the GTI. If you want a sports car get a sports car. If you need more practicality or don’t have room in the garage or budget for a second car but still want something that’s fun to drive, the GTI fills that need and more. It’s the car you can use to drop off the kids at school, bomb up to the track on…

100% correct take on the GTI. The Mk 3 and Mk4 were a bit of a dog, but the rest have been way more fun than the sensible engined versions of the same car.  And, in the European  context,  they are great cross country cars when roads are tight , full of off camber, twists and crests.  A nimble hot hatch will leave…

Yeah, I wouldn’t call it fast, but it did make a difference, especially in the mid range.  I remember he could rip past us on the road at will.

I’m 100% ready to spend $80K on this FJ if only it did not require premium unleaded for the supercharger. Can’t afford the cost of premium.

Sounds like South Phila rules

Yep. “Promiscuo” translates to “promiscuous”, which translates to “general purpose.”

Copy and paste of my response to this story elsewhere...

“Sorry! I thought you were a protester!"

> Four of twelve houses on my street have had mailboxes that have been ripped down by snowplows. Some more than once. The township says ‘tough shit’.

Personally I want to not have to rebuy all my old games or keep my old console around for when I want to play my old games. Backward compatibility absolutely informed like 90% of my choice to get an Xbox One and now a series X.

Sony has fallen into a predictable (and disappointing) pattern of letting Microsoft take the heat for ideas that are actually good but that reactionary gamers will treat as bad, then sliding in quietly several months later with exactly the same thing. Most recently, they did it with cross-gen games and they’re…

That would have required actual effort.

Driver visibility. Useful rear hatch. Optional louvers. They could even make a E28 version.

I still forget which game is which. I actually read a lot of the comments higher up, thinking they were talking about “Worlds” when they were talking about “Wilds.” I enjoyed Wilds, but just could not get into Worlds. Someone up there mentioned feeling guilty about not liking a game, and that’s how Worlds was for me.

Happy new years to all my perma-grey brethren. Here’s to another 365 days of being ignored by this site.

Can’t stand trial if he’s dead, which is apparently the outcome some of these dudes like.
