You say that, but then you bang off the rev limiter for a whole second and go no faster, yet when the car shifts for you you magically continue accelerating...

You have no idea what you're talking about. This is coming from a guy who has 3 stick shifts and a DSG that all see autocross activities regularly. You're just…

This is also just dumb. The shift is .5 seconds and you don't even notice it. Next time you're braking you can easily downshift with the flick of a button on the steering wheel, and it will instantly put you down a gear.

Your problem is that you drive a car without torque, so you NEED to stay high revving to make power.

This is the most ignorant thing on the internet.

Popping it in neutral to save gas? What are you smoking?

And boiling water for coffee? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

I consider it an investment compared to an apartment. I pay less a month to live here and have more freedom, so I'm saving money and feeling better about life.

I don't expect to turn a profit on it when I sell it down the road, but I hope that paying less will allow me to save more and buy more later, or at least buy…

The block was fine. The head warped from driving it more before getting the pump done. Resurfaced it and my dad attempted to put it back together but could never get the timing right, so we sold it.

The guy who bought it had it up and running in a week.

I spy a volvo 1800.

When I looked ( I was 18 or 19 at the time) it was already pegged in the red. I was able to pull over and go get more water but it just overheated again right down the road. A pastor at a local church helped me limp it to a gas station where we could cool it off with the water hose and then limp on back to the dorm.

Sad…

Mine went 180k without batting an eye. Then the water pump went on the highway and I didn't know any better. Warped the shit out of the head, and it never ran the same again.

I miss that thing.

Looks italian to me.

Trick question, Sebastian Loeb.

That's a serious roof rack if you can camp on it. Must actually be bolted through the roof.

I wouldn't mind a tear drop trailer for my golf. It would make touring the country a lot cheaper.

It defeats the purpose of having a wagon, and look at that rear hatch, you couldn't put anything in there the opening is so small.

Boo.

I'm glad that the only actually important yet difficult to learn skill is absent from this list.

What's that skill you might ask?

Looking ahead.

57%... only because I know in Mexico they call Jetta's Boras.

I want to see a new Phaeton though.

Second. Send 12 year olds a message, they can't just do whatever the hell they want and think they can get away with it because "i'm only 12".

What about the free zoos?

Who the fuck goes on arctic cruises?

That's what surprised me the most. I guess it's a lot like Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Some paved some gravel, eventually getting totally paved.

They're climbing the alps right now. That's probably an 8-12% grade. Those guys are flying.

that's a cycling hat.
