1. Who said you needed to buy it? Just take it for a joyride. Dealers are not your friends. Why treat them like friends?

2. Oooof. What a car. What a car. A lot of dough, however, for a car that is not necessarily legal in your state...not for another two or three years, anyway.

The Corrado was cheaper than the 16V GTI? Really? That’s a shocker to me.

Sight unseen, un-driven. But it was everything I expected.*

I went with other German stuff after the GLi (E30 M3, 968) and then decided to dial back to a 91 Jetta GLi 16V 2.0-liter in the late Nineties. Oh, man, did that suck. It was a one-owner car, but that one owner was ignorant and neglectful. I poured money into that car. It was good when it was good, but, oh, man, did it…

Props for giving it the proper nomenclature: A2, not Mk II. That’s the new kids talking. I hate an A2 back in 1991-1992, until someone took me out, totally out of the blue. Insurance money paid for an A2 GLi, which was what I really wanted anyway. Those were the best combo of refinement and fun little car performance.…

Did the gameshow or the lawsuit come first?

That guy’s not Australian. He was born in Peekskill, New York. He just moved there when he was a kid, after his old man won a bunch of money on a gameshow and decided that the U.S. was going to hell. Amazingly, a true story.

My brother (not a car guy at all), bought a 2006 new, but insisted on getting a manual transmission. The dealer have to go like four states away to find one, but they did. His is still going strong. Just the random VQ engine issues; otherwise, it’s been great.

The average middle-aged Porsche owner could change his diet and lose more than 11 pounds before the year is out. And it’s already late October.

I will NEVER forget about this because it sums up the shit-for-brains tea-party assholes in one blatantly racist sentiment. Plus, now that the crackhead mayor of Toronto is no longer with us. Paul LePage is the most amusing thing going in elected officials.*

* Well, elected officials I don’t have to fear fucking up my…

I love my Xterra. The platform is solid enough, but very dated.

My only beef with their reliability ratings, and this is similar to my beef with JD Power, is that the usability of tech features makes a big impact on those little bubble circles. I suppose that’s a legit reason to give a car a poor review, but it has zero to do with reliability.

Also, JD Power’s “initial quality…

If Consumer Reports were a car, it’d be a beige Camry, right? But is there any more useful, reliable and honest piece of mechanized human transportation than a beige Camry? I think not.

They literally buy every single car they test by sending anonymous staffers or surrogates into random dealers. There are no press-pool…

It really depends on how often you use it and how many times you have to do it each time. A homeowner building one deck and then having a drill around for occasional use can easily get by with a cordless 12V drill. A contractor who regularly has to go through concrete? Well, one of those 36V beasts or a corded weapon…

I think I generated the handle in the pre-Kinja days when it was just the Gawker commentariat. It was a reaction to the Senna movie, which was a ginormous love fest and apparently step one in making the Brazilian an actual saint. Somebody had to be the bad guy in that movie and it was Prost, with a little bit of…

Came here to say this, but not only did you beat me to the punch, you said it more eloquently and with more brevity than I would have. Sadly, I have but one star to give.

My E30 M3 with a Borla exhaust used to set off car alarms in my neighborhood back in the day. It wasn’t overly loud, just the right frequency, I suppose.

I believe our tax code is based on this principal. The “American Dream™” of residential home ownership is massively subsidized by our tax code. The more interest you pay, the more you get to keep. Weird, huh?

This is 2017 and there are probably six other angles to this video. And he’s sitting in an assigned seat. Sorry...standing at his seat.

No way this guy makes it through the weekend without getting arrested, out, doxed and/or fired.

I think if I was making Goodell coin, I’d probably last until about March my first year and then you’d never, ever hear from me again. I’d just send Christmas cards with “Rozelle” headbands on all of my kids’ heads for the holidays.

How much does a human being truly need?
