This is the right answer, thank you.

I second that... #COTD

$550,000 sounds like a lot until you compare that to the price of it’s sister ship, the USS Gerald R Ford which would cost you just shy of $13billion. In that light $550K is a steal for a boat.

Neither the 3-door GTI nor the new FiST are available in the US...

Beurocracy is how this representative government thing works. This country has never been a popular democracy, so you’re not going to get elections for agency staff. You do get the check of appointment confirmations by the legislature. The legislature has also delegated authority because laws are much slower than…

There is a single standard now. Current administration is trying to fracture the consensus.

well...it wasn’t a plurality. Most of us voted for the saner candidate

FUCK! I feel so duped! I can’t believe I ended up with this crappy sub-par and cheap Golf R. If only I had purchased a kwality american car instead! Oh, wait, the only american equivalent is a Focus RS? OK! I’ll buy that!

The profile of that window trim looks fairly standard - an hour or two in a junkyard would probably net you a bunch of nice long strips of window or door trim (especially sliding door trim on minivans, you can get 10' sections) that could be cut to the right length, or the black plastic caps to go over the joint to…

I as fond of old classic cars as much as the next person, but more so when they are parked though. Conversely, on occasion, when I drive behind one, I know I’m being briefly poisoned while I admire it’s beauty and style. Subsequently, when we part ways, I take the time to internally thank CARB (and the old EPA) for…

It’s a step up from the Beetle? And, I mostly use it in town, and use a safer car for freeway trips. Also, while his safety is absolutely important to me, so is the enjoyment he gets from being in the car. I mean, he rides his scooter down our street, walks on sidewalks near roads, and does any number of other things…

1st Gear: Again... no sympathy. Most automakers backed the Republicans in the last election... so fuck ‘em.

I can’t wait for autonomous trucks to happen. Honestly, that is going utterly destroy a massive amount of sanctimonious red-state rednecks. If you thought the collapse of the coal industry laid waste to entire economies, that is nothing to what happens when trucker jobs start to go. Maybe we’ll finally get some…

It is not normal when:

the Environmental PROTECTION Agency is fighting against a local government institution and their more stringent implementations to save the environment.

That’s kinda like in Orwell’s nightmare. War is peace. Fuck.

and car companies fear having to make cars to two different national standards

Drove it. Hate the interior. It feels cheap. Hate the layout of the controls. And I like the smoother power delivery of my 2.0T as opposed to the 1.6T the ST has. I did not like how once the boost hits, I felt like I was only along for the ride and no longer driving the car.

I loved everything about the C30, except for the clutch (which I honestly could’ve solved). The clutch had absolutely no feeling and it was hard to drive smooth because you couldn’t feel the clutch take point. A Focus RS clutch would’ve solved it, but I sold the car, and used the proceeds for a down payment for a…

Weird. I’ve owned an IS-F now for about a year and a half. There is a strange tang of ennui sometimes when I drive the car. I think I understand, even if I don’t agree, with that feeling of restlessness.

It’s not so much “will it break” but “how much will it cost” that’s the issue. I’ve owned too many vehicles that just kept going and going with normal maintenance and nothing else... and then a couple cars that died early deaths due to poor quality... including a 14 Passat luckily on a lease that started showing its…
