They all seem to have restricted speeds when towing, and I’d be willing to bet they are strictly enforced too.

The simple way to fix that is to black flag anyone who runs wide, or hit them with a massive time penalty for crossing the white line and putting 2 off.

There’s also considerably lower speed limits, so it’s a lot easier to drive 50mph with your trailer in traffic, instead of trying to drive 70, or driving slow and being a wreck waiting to happen.

Why are americans afraid of Diesel, and wagons, and 2 door hatchbacks, and everything else great in the world.

380 miles took 7.5 hours?

Are speed limits that low? My normal 500 mile drive to St Louis rarely takes more than 8. Even with a lunch stop. (no gas stop, TDI PAH, 600 miles on a tank)

But when you’re 5k away from having the real deal, why bother? Better resale on the evo too probably.

Volkwagen Golf 2.5 (or rabbit, whatever you want to call it).

Best 16000 car you can buy all around. Fit and finish just like it’s big brothers, an aural orgasm of a 5cyl engine, decent mileage, plenty of torque, easy to throw around, lots of room (23 cubic feet of cargo space) etc.

I like how they’re like “Don’t worry, it’s totally safe, we promise” and then “but uh, keep your arms inside the car, just in case?”

WOOT

No, evidence shows that i’m in the majority. VW Sells millions of golfs, and there are a handful of problems. i’m in the 99%, your friend and your mindset are in the 1%

But objectively, Shakespeare is the superior author.

Wine is the same way. Sure a lot of it is subjective based on your palate, but there is a true quality difference between cheap and expensive wines. That difference goes away from the 20 dollar and up range and gets more into marketing and production numbers, but a…

To be a wine snob, all you have to do is be able to say “I like this wine” and “I don’t like this wine”.

That’s all there is to it.

Totally false. As an industry person, we all have our go to cheap wine that we drink at home, which is a rough equivalent to a bud light or mich ultra. We would rather drink expensive wine, but sometimes that’s just not economical. Or maybe we aren’t eating the right food for it.

I keep fancy wine in my cellar for a…

I use their 2 port one and it’s great for my wife and I. I wouldn’t say it’s fast by any standard, but in my 30 minute commute I put on about 25-30%, So my phone rarely gets under 60%.

Consider the 30 or so horror stories you’ve heard, and the 2 million cars that have been sold. Those horror stories are one off’s, and I’d be willing to bet VWoA took care of them.

A bet you also think diesel cars are loud and shoot plumes of black smoke all over the place?

Stuck in the past man.
‘11 TDI bought new, has almost 100k on it now, never had a single issue with the car. I’ve lost a lot of tires, put in a new battery, and that’s about it. $50 oil change, $90 if you add in cabin and air…

Is there a reason they come into the straights and dip down towards the infield instead of staying up against the wall? Do they just do that to keep their attention, or is there something wrong with the track? Or does their aero suck next to the wall?

I go every morning after I drink my coffee. I thought everyone did.

I’ve never been to NYC for more than an hour driving through, but does the city not have a bunch of raised highways? Or is it only raised train tracks? Seems like they could benefit greatly from some elevated roadways, getting cars away from pedestrians/cyclists, and also giving them more reasonable speed limits.

It looks like the “new” Audi Quattro... weird
