I drove almost the exact same vehicle in Bremen a couple of times back in the ‘90s and driving on the Autobahn was terrifying. It can barely get out of its own way.

I live for that day.

I lived in Berlin for years and only ever heard of it referred to as “Ente”, ohne “lahm”. Det is mir neu.

This pisses me off.

Cost is literally the only reason I don’t go to more games. I’ve been a Giants fan for 50 goddamn years, but I’m not made of money, so I basically just watch games on TV. 

Also, any “influencer” out there promoting open-face, leather-less, ripped-pants on a motorcycle can fuck straight off into a horrible, disfigured death. It’s hard enough to keep my teenager from doing a somewhat limited set of stupid shit.

Guess he hasn’t read the local news in SF about the mind-boggling number of car break-ins! Leave a couple of quarter in the cup holder the car you parked on Brannan for a couple of hours at night and you’re practically guaranteed to return to find a broken window (and no quarters in the cup holder).

If the ergonomics were fine for you, then great. Every model Corolla I’ve driven was terribly unpleasant to drive. Clearly, not everyone fits every car.

Looks like something Kurt Russell would drive in a movie called “Escape from Bakersfield”.

I don’t doubt it since that’s not to difficult a hurdle. The previous models were abysmal IMHO. The ergonomics were particularly bad.

Yes, in ECO mode all bets are definitely off. It’s great for highway driving in cruise (if it’s not too hot out because it throttles the AC) but otherwise I tend to avoid it.

As a 2016 Civic owner, I can report that the CVT in this car is damn good. The turbo engine is punchy as hell and the transmission in no way detracts from the way it drives - power comes on fast and it stays in the fat part of the power band the way it should.

So all the solo-driver knobs clogging up Highway 50 between El Dorado Hills and Sacramento actually need shiny luxo-HD trucks?

You magnificent bastard.

Where the hell is my damn Doppel-Chickenburger Sweet-Chili?!? Still only in Germany apparently

Hey, I have an idea! Instead of charging the appropriate taxes and levying a big fine to line government coffers (or Duterte’s pockets), let’s crush this sweet Ferrari! Love it!

Hell David, by your usual standards, this thing is a goddamn cream puff.

Good to see I’m not the only one who had their eyes crossed by a VW roof liner (green ‘68 Squareback for me). 

My sister in law used to manage the Hertz rental counter at the Avignon TGV station and she said that Touareg owners kept them in business.
