Exactly. I only remember it when I watch videos on my phone. Ads on the internet are a non-issue for me. I don’t need to pay money to avoid them.

Google chrome ad-block. I got it 7 years ago, and quite frankly I forgot youtube had ads until your comment reminded me.

If you think a minor traffic infraction remotely justifies attempted murder: Fuck You.

I doubt you would get Attempted Murder: Probably Vehicular assault or Aggravate Assault. The motorcyclist would likely get a ticket for an illegal pass, but that doesn't give a driver license for intentionally hitting someone with a vehicle.

They’re not going that fast. The camera man is riding a smaller displacement bike, so it sounds like he’s really getting on it when he goes to pass, but you can tell by how quickly they are passing those mile markers and road signs, they’re not really tearing it up.

...I don’t know that not wearing gear and passing on a double yellow equate to assault with a vehicle...

I’m not very often, but I think I’m gonna make an exception in this circumstance.

They were driving high and endangering other innocent motorists on the road, sure I’d rather they’d not be dead, but fuck ‘em. These are the kinds of people who wipe out other people’s families simply because they’re getting their own jollies off.

Instead of MPG, let’s think about it in terms of gallons and cost used over distance.

Throwing some numbers into a calculator (assume $3 a gallon)
403.4 mi trip

With my ‘14 Passat at 60mph on cruise control, single driver, no wind and flat terrain from L.A. to S.F. on I-5, I am getting 53-55 mpg. I am sometimes (depending on wind situation) almost able to make the trip forth and back on a single tank (425 miles each direction). Even with a 5mpg hit, it is still a very…

I beg to differ. This is far better news than expected.

To be honest - I’d take that. However, it was suggested by Herr Horn that the 2009-2014 non-SCR cars would be getting an SCR (aka AdBlue/DEF) system. I’d love for just the software to drop some MPGs - but adding hardware is not kosher.

As a Sportwagen TDI owner I’m just going to brush it off. I like my car the way it is now and I’d prefer not to do the recall, however if there is an incentive I may, depending on the offer/how much my performance is compromised. Truthfully, I’m otherwise so happy with the car that if they offered to buy it back I…

I found a photo.

As a current Boom Operator, I can verify (second-hand) that it is indeed possible to tow a fighter with the boom. I’m not sure when it was introduced but we actually have a checklist procedure.

$800.000 DSG fluid changes ?? Where did you get yours done ?? I just paid $319.00 today at my 40,000 service. I love my TDI, but it will be interesting to see how all of this plays out ...

I worked at VW in early 2010 to late 2011 as a part time job while going through school. I was there when the failing fuel pumps issues started to roll in and it didn’t take out the turbos or glow plugs. Many of the issues were old people filling up with gas and driving around when engine was knocking(more than a…

I’ve had 1 previous GTI and another right now. DSG service cost me $250. You got royally screwed. My last GTI had 178k miles when I sold it. NEVER had a problem. My current GTI has 88k miles and running strong.

I have 178k on my DPF...

Hey Aaron, classy move on deleting my post. I’d rather you confront me than use your editing power against me. I know I’m that stick in the mud, but seriously, you’re like that guy who asks if everyone wants Pizza at a lactose intolerance meeting, and then goes ahead and orders it anyways when everyone starts moaning.
