    I bought a B5 S4.

    As someone who has actually had their wipers fail abruptly in a heavy rainstorm, while driving at freeway speeds (in an Audi, not a GM vehicle), it’s scary, but still hard to imagine how it could be so bad that you couldn’t get over to the shoulder and stop.

    Question: do the Police Interceptors all use the 3.5 Ecoboost? Otherwise it seems weird that the fuel pump recall would be limited to the 3.5s in other models.

    One of my coworkers has one of these (on a new Mustang GT).

    My Audi has the same push the stick down lockout, but it’s short throw and pretty light. I guess a better implementation of that VW one? I like it fine.

    We’re going to need some starting pitching to go along with all those guys. But yes, it is a tremendously talented young core to build around and I am very excited to see how it goes.

    Unimog.

    It’s not just the transverse engined Audis that do that. For example, I think every generation of S4 (definitely B5 and onwards) goes up/left on a 6 speed.

    Up and left. That puts it next to 1st, and any time you’re in reverse, you’re going to be going to 1st next.

    Always highlight truthers.

    I had a chance to buy a 1970 911 T from a friend about 5 years ago for $11k. Some prior owner in the ‘90s had lowered it slightly and added some big fiberglass fender flares and so on. It was all well executed and looked really good, but the lack of originality drove the value down a lot. It was mechanically mostly

    Despite the NFL rookie pay scale completely boning rookies normally, he’s actually the 13th best paid kicker in the NFL (in terms of guaranteed money for this season) because those fucking morons drafted him so high. I love it.

    Came to say exactly that.

    Because the rest of us would have to look at it?

    This seems like as good a place to ask as any...

    I live in Seattle and ski and hike and mountain bike a lot. I drive up into the mountains a lot for said activities, sometimes on some kinda shitty dirt roads and often in snow (in the winter). My recent car history is as follows:
    -Had an M3, loved it, but it wasn’t great

    Should I have a burrito or pizza for lunch? This highly important question has been my main point of focus at my desk for a solid hour now, and I’m still conflicted.

    Exactly. More power won’t be hard if they don’t have to adhere to F1 rules, and F1 cars aren’t optimized for top speed at all. If that thing outcorners an F1 car, I’ll be astonished.

    Chris Broussard and Stephen A. Smith arguing produces the functional equivalent of a two minute long fart? I am SHOCKED.

    I was 5 then, hence my “pretty much ever”

    Yeah. We still aren’t good, but I at least feel positive about the direction the team is headed for the first time in, well, pretty much ever.
