Well... the Audi problem in the 80s WAS a problem. 80s tech and the early introduction of it. The idle air controller motor would lose its “zero” and the computer was blind to it. If it thought it was at 0 but was actually at 10 then on cold start, you’d get 11 instead of 1.

It is this kind of mentality that leads to legal teams requiring we have warnings on coffee cups.

Kind of a shame if you ask me. I can understand removing extra parts that the owner added him/herself. Aftermarket wheels, radio, etc... pull that stuff, put stock/original stuff back in. But shit like stock bumper covers? I mean, aside from the moral/ethical concerns (I blame my parents for raising me with…

I thought I understood that these cars are NOT being crushed. The DME has to be removed and destroyed but otherwise the cars are not being crushed.

As if we needed more proof that Uber drivers are idiots. Here in Chicago they (along with their Lyft counterparts) are hands-down the #1 worst drivers on the road. See something stupid, and 9x out of 10, they’ve got the little “U” or airplane square in the window. 1x out of 10, it’s some idiot flapping his/her gums…

I wonder, can he counter sue? Recover the money he had to burn defending himself? I have to imagine this could be construed as harassment at some point.

Let’s see. Triggered over the sight of a camera. Older couple with different last names.

Yep, you’ve got a case of the beta-human hippies, alright.

I’m just glad to see someone DRIVING the thing, vs. watching it waste away in a museum somewhere. Such a cool car. I’d drive it too!

Each of the comments so far are both awesome AND explain why I've never been able to get into sci-fi.

I own a 2015 “SLT” trim (one step below the Denali, though my SLT is loaded with everything the Denali has) and it’s definitely a “luxury” vehicle. It’s every bit as nice as my old Audi A6, PLUS it’s without a doubt QUIETER going down the road. Plus it has the added bonus of being able to tow the race car. I also…

I’ll state the obvious... Who hasn’t heard of Patrick Dempsey? Who finished P2?

I live in Chicago, grew up here. Of course, ON EQUAL TIRES, AWD will trump RWD. But RWD on PROPER snow tires is totally fine. Years ago, my winter beater was a basic 2.0L Jetta. My roommate, on the other hand, daily drove his WS6 Trans Am (with heads, cam, headers, tune, etc... mid-11s in the 1/4 mile). He put a set…

Hah! My old roommate and I loved Lukolo's! They had a decent (for a college kid palette) chicken Alfredo.

Same here. The last time my wife and I spotted a drunk driver we called the cops, followed him off the expressway, down a couple main (side) streets. Followed him a good 20 minutes, all the while on the phone. Guy was crossing into oncoming traffic, swerving... No cops. They told us to pull over in a parking lot where…

Been taking my now 10 year old to car shows since he was in a stroller. I have pics of him standing next to a real GT40, when the GT was taller than he was. I was very, very clear: he can look ALL HE WANTS, as close as he wants, for as long as he wants... But he CANNOT TOUCH. Showed him to stand with his hands…

They have gone WAY up in price over the years. My first-ever truck was a '99 Silverado Z71, which I had for not quite a year before I bought a brand new '02 Z71. Loved how comfortable, smooth, and quiet it was. Not a loaded truck (still had cloth.. but the '02 cloth was WAY nicer than the rental car crap Chevy puts…

You need to try it with a different club. Near me, the SCCA events give you 4 runs. Porsche club, BMW club, Miata club, Audi club all average 12 or more.

yes. Most marque specific car clubs have events too. Try looking up your local Miata club, BMW club, Porsche club.

coming from someone who used to race professionally, autocross is also what you come back to when you finally weigh the cost-to-fun ratio.

That looks like an illegal amount of fun.
