Wait what? This is a rhetorical question right?

“Is that a good car to invest in”

I think it has to do with the MASSIVE amount of ill-will EA has amassed over the years.

Bellevue is a bit that way, its the new money rich suburb (as you, I’m sure know, but to explain for the benefit of others). I used to commute there for work from North Seattle and driving through the center of Bellevue was just a parade of flaunted wealth. Its a bit sickening, even if seeing different GT3RSs in a…

You must live in Bellevue huh? Place is insane. Didn’t used to be QUITE so bananas 20 years ago, but now? GT3 RSs and Ferarris everywhere. G-Wagens are just the grocery getters for the trophy wives to go to Whole Foods after their yoga class...

Good lord, the lengths you’re willing to go to defend...Tesla? GTFO of here.

Yes and no. The dealer won’t investigate the issue, and no PPI will turn up any issue. In this case unless failure is imminent, its highly unlikely the dealer will suffer from this issue.

Kinda with you here.

Right? I’m STILL enjoying my 2008 A4 Avant with a pretty solid 6MT drivetrain on the daily (or well almost daily given COVID). I have GPS with traffic (sometimes, RDS-based TMS is sort of unreliable), leather, and all that jazz. The manual neither adds nor subtracts from the pacakge, objectively. Subjectively, it…

Thats accurate here in Seattle too.

Forgive me father for I am about to sin.

No I haven’t. Also I wasn’t intending that comment to be a “You don’t know how to drive stick” troll, so hopefully it didn’t come off that way (I think it sorta did, sorry).

If you need to get into boost to slip the clutch for a start....I don’t know man, I wanna say you’re doing it wrong.

I’m missing the part where the author cites the studies that PROVE that speed has zero correlation to do with fatalities...

Haha, so true though! Its a b7 Avant. 2.0t, Titanium edition, 6mt, so relatively unicorny I suppose.

I agree. I own a 2017 (its the wife’s car, my daily is a 12-year old A4 6MT Avant!). Its the PERFECT family hauler. It eats up highway miles, has some killer tech, is insanely comfortable, gets decent mileage, has plenty of power, and just drives solidly and really well.

Ok. So buy a $40k atlas instead of a $100k SQ7? There are options. Just because most people can’t afford an SQ7 doesn’t mean they shouldn’t exist. I get socio-economic inequality, it truly is a HUGE problem in this country (and getting worse by the goddamn day), but the SQ7 isn’t the issue here. If anything get mad at…

Cool story?

no, it just means there is *some* support on both sides of the aisle. What you’re thinking of is majority support. Two different things.

Right?
