No trip to Detroit is complete without a brush with complete incompetence and sudden violent death.

All I hoped to get out of reading the text was learning whether or not this thing had been repowered. Instead I got the usual JaSlopnik misinformation. How many KDF-wagens did 'Volkswagen' pump out while Hitler was alive? 600? Thanks for making ignorance contagious.
The only one I see pandering to the ignorant is Ben. These changes were made in response to driver complaints, not to cause crashes.
It is astounding that it took this fire to awaken me to the irony of an Audi electric car. They barely had a grasp of the concept behind the electric tail light circuit. Audi was trying to make an electric car?
What drugs are you guys using to share the camera dork's paranoid delusions?
@pauljones: That doesn't apply to Harley Davidsons with open exhausts. They're fair game, especially when ridden by attention whores who rev them to announce they're parking in front of a bar.
@drewdrawscriticism: And salmon/black/white multitone was a luxury car combo in 1958, but you don't see many people with that particular myopia today. Bugatti Royales were owned by the sort of people that needed armed lackies to avoid justice. And yes, I know many were 'titled.' That car is still as classy as a solid…
@evilvocho: When I lived in the Netherlands, my townhouse was on a narrow one way street with parallel parking on one side. We'd pick up Minis, Metros, and other tiny cars and put them in middle of the street. One time we tried picking up a tiny Daihatso and the bumper ripped right off in my hands. This was in 1984. I…
@evilvocho: Is that you Justin? I still remember many a night of finding my Festiva lifted onto a sidewalk just when I shouldn't have been trying to drive home in my teens.
@KeyserSoze - Professional Blog Commenter: I suspected as much about Range Rover fanatics.
Symbolic in La Jolla has 3 Veyrons in stock, but they don't have that particular tacky paint scheme. Why is it that Veyron owners have the same taste in paint jobs that bass boat buyers do?
@ssrock64: Did he? I get the impression that all he did was post his experience on a related forum and have other members attempt to take it viral.
@Alfisted: Try washing your face.
@ssrock64: How has the buyer ruined his reputation exactly?
The buyer's posts seem pretty convincing and non-psycho. Modding a new car is a bit silly, but the Hyundai dealer should honor a contract or face arbitration. I wouldn't buy from them based on this episode.
It is cool to be the first one to do this. Audis are so heavy that a few more pounds doesn't matter. It improves the weight distribution too, as adding weight equally front and rear diminishes the impact of the absurd engine location. You might also improve fuel economy through diminished wind resistance, as with the…
Your BMW overlords didn't like Ray's tone, did they?
Notifying recent Massachusetts GM buyers of their vehicles' inferiority in writing reminds me of when Patrick Ewing was playing college ball and opposing fans held up signs that said 'Patrick Ewing can't read!' It didn't bother him much.
