Tiff’s competition videos from Goodwood are epic. He’s an awesome driver. His friendly competition with Jason Plato on Fifth Gear are fun to watch.

Everyone seems to be confusing what a dealer is asking for the car and what they will actually get. They can ask whatever the hell they want. If someone pays that much more power to that dealer. I don’t see that ever happening but who knows.

No matter what happens we’re paying for the wall. It it’s a 20% tax on incoming Mexican built goods we’ll pay for the wall based on the increase in our final price by the manufacturer. If manufacturing is moved back to the US there won’t be any wall funding coming in from the 20% tariff so we’ll pay for it from our…

Arrest him. I get it. So when are we going to start arresting Takata executives that knew about their defective airbags and kept selling them to every car manufacturer on the planet. False equivalency once again.

A butt only a mother could love. Not an attractive car that Type R.

So what was the actual repair cost for the seal? If they called you in a few hours after leaving with the loaner there couldn’t have been many shop hours involved in the repair.

1st Gear - KL - you said

VW. How about a GTI Wagon? Didn’t think so.

That’s not 100% true. My 328i manual does not stop the engine immediately when I shift in to neutral to wait at a red light. It seems to wait until the cabin has cooled down or heated up before it engages the stop-start function. It may also be waiting for the engine to heat up but I’m not 100% sure on that one. 

If a under 100K miles original minivan is the object there are plenty of Caravan/Voyagers out there at this price point with more space and practicality than a Vista. CP

I enjoyed your sarcasm about never seeing quadcopters crashing. Very good!

I get the part about the Tesla not seeing the trailer because of the open area under it but why didn’t it see the tractor as it passed in front of the sensors. Reports said it didn’t brake. It should have braked for the tractor portion?

Like a 2006 Saab wagon?

The US Mini Configurator does have debadging as a no charge option. Might be the only US sold car that has this as an actual option?

NP. Manual does it for me along with the price drop to $3995.

CP. That rats nest under the dashboard is very scary! You’ve got to clean that up before trying to sell a car.

Picture before the accident

They were taking Gutierrez’ car off the grass near the fence when it happened. I was at that corner taking pictures. Didn’t even realize it happened. Very sad.

Estoril Blue BMW 328i

100% agreed. Air cooled Beetle was the easiest way to learn to drive a manual transmission. If you couldn’t learn on a Beetle there was no hope.
