“It’s all HER fault! If she can speak english, WHY DIDN’T SHE? But NO! She had to trick me into assaulting her, and now I’ve got a criminal record, and it’s ALL HER FAULT!!!1!!” Burchard-Risch, to herself, probably.

Toyota selling their HSD powertrains is a win-win. Those of us who like the efficiency and reliability but want a more engaging chassis can maybe someday buy a Golf GTi HSD.

No one can expect to agree with everyone in the world, but if you work at it, you can at least understand them. It is possible I have misrepresented or misinterpreted Mr. DeMuro. If I have, I’d hope he’d let me know, but I am an internet nobody, so doubt it would be worth his time.
