Skip the politics Mr. Hardigree. I don't care what you think about the Governors of Texas, New York, or Hawaii for that matter. I'm here for the cars. For political blather, I'll go somewhere else.

I wonder how much it is to insure 700 horsepower....

I agree with you. The VW web site is terrible, and it makes me think they put this up as a stopgap measure while they work on something else. As it is, I think this web site is designed to clear out inventory from dealers' stocks.

In reading the specifications, and comparing it to the specs for the NA model, it makes you think they used the first Miata as the benchmark with regards to dimensions.

Nope. No rotary. But the engine is behind the front wheels.

It looks like the spawn of a z3 and the Jag. Yet, it looks fine. Too bad about the band.

It pains me to know that you had to go down the shore, see some CLAs, and then reflect on why this is a better ride.

One of the greatest recall festivals of all time! Some friends of mine in high school had one. It was recalled seven times. One of those was because the battery was mounted above the brake lines. The concern was that battery acid would get spilled on the brake lines, and over time, corrode a hole in the brake line.…

I thought I read Jalopnik for car related stuff ... oh well. I guess I get what I paid for...

In no particular order...once had a guy sit on the showroom floor and play with the skin on his neck while saying, "now, this guy shot at me, and I got these here balls in my neck." He was trying to convince me that he had a settlement coming and was looking for new wheels. Yeah, right.

#1. That's because in the automobile business, and other businesses with real cash flow, marketing success (engagement) is determined by sales volume. Millenials get the pass on the rest of us. They can claim "engagement" without having to pony up the stacks.

#2. A two-door Elantra? That's rarer than the Mercury…

Kinda like how lipstick red login-IDs and headlines will attract female users to a site called Jezebel...

Those are horrific. However, you got a couple of airports in war zones as part of the focus. But let's look at "Airports that are screwed up every day, 365 days per year." And that takes you to one outfit. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey where not one, but THREE airports AND the even what Jalopnik used…

And no, Jim Crow laws were not even remotely exclusive to the South. Here's an example. http://www.galesburg.com/article/201408…

LGA is lousy too, and while it provides the scenic view of Rikers Island when one lands at the airport, it's not as if it's located adjacent to a maximum security prison, like EWR is.

About 2 miles West of Newark, and still in Essex County. That "up North" or "Up Nawth" where people "go down the Shore."

Come to New Jersey. Attend high school with my son, and you'll here "young people of color" drop the N word as if it was a determiner.

I agree. I've flown throw ATL many, many times. And even if I did get stuck there, at least there's places to eat, unlike the polyp on the Devil's anus known as "EWR."

Every time I go to EWR. It's so bad, I gladly pay to cross the Tappan Zee and fly out of White Plains. EWR makes me want to fly Allegiant out of Allentown with their peculiar roundtrips of Thursday to Monday. EWR is the ONLY airport I know where the offsite hotels are located next to a maximum security prison. I've…

"ADV" is sort of the nickname for the "adventure" rider scene. The bikes are sort of like dirtbikes, but larger and street legal. The owners tend to put GPS, extra lights for off-road use, extra crashbars, panniers for carrying lots of swag, and then go to someplace like the mall. These additions to the stock…
