Came here to say exactly that.

I have a WRX now, and lament that I wish it was available with only 2 doors. VW isn't going to convince me to replace it with a Golf R so I can have the same lament with a different badge on the grill.

I agree. I'd seriously consider a 2 door version with only 2 pedals, but won't really consider a 4 door with 3. I prefer a manual transmission, but I'd prefer the super hot 2 door version pictured here more.

I won't disagree with that, but short of defense of person, family, or property, violence is not the solution. The photog was the instigator, but he didn't commit the more serious of the crimes involved, and just because he was an asshat doesn't mean the VAG drivers were justified or their actions weren't wrong and

No, it isn't. Road rage is never justified. I would be 100% ok with the Lambo driver calling the cops and getting the guy with the camera arrested. That is *exactly* what I would have done. He didn't do that, he choose to take the law into his own hands and take action that could be considered multiple crimes with

Under Florida law, I think a case could be made that the "VAG" boys committed assault and harassment, as well as battery and kidnapping.

Exactly. Sure, the photog is an asshat, was doing dangerous things, and was annoying. At what point does that justify road rage and criminal action?

With the aid of google and some law articles, I learned a few things.

You are incorrect, what they did was extremely relevant. While what the videographer did was annoying, and probably unsafe, but it wasn't illegal (in the US.) Calling in help that isn't a police officer with the intent of illegally detaining and then assaulting the driver in the other car is illegal. If they can be

Disclaimer: I'm a WRX owner.

I will only concede that my wording is incorrect. You are in public, but you are NOT in a public area. A public area implies access is available to all, without restriction. That is certainly NOT the case with an airplane. Or a mall. Or a restaurant. Or a sports arena. Or a business.

When you are on a commercial airplane, you are not in public. You are a customer on a private craft who has to consent to any number of things required by either the aircraft operator or a governing agency in order to be on the flight. Like not using Google Glass.

I feel somewhat the same way, but in the opposite direction. I like the hatch, but want the AWD more, so I'm not really considering the Focus ST even though I really do like it.

I *loved* the response and sound my old MINI S supercharger sounded. It might have had as much power as the later turbo'd ones, but it felt and sounded like it did.

I love that, because he was unable to link bad behavior with consequences due to teaching him that wealth buys privilege, he is not punished because his parents wealth bought him that privilege.

Jolteon is just south of here, too.

Pretty much exactly. Except without fake spray paint.

I have always wanted to take a can of spray paint and paint the lines on the car to help explain where they were to people who can't seem to understand them.

Mini S is a fairly solid bachelor car, and it can attract attention from the ladies. They want to tell you how 'cute' it is rather than it being a cool sports car, but it is still attention.

My experience with that is that many flatbeds lower to angle as well as having extenders to allow lowered cars to be raised on them. My old MINI was lowered to the point where I needed to go at speed bumps and driveways at an angle, and when I had to have it towed the driver didn't have any issues at all even with
