Agreed.  I was just telling my friends how much I miss the hatch and that if I found an equal condition 8-14 STI hatch for an equal price as my current STI, I’d gladly trade for it.  So I would definietly be on board for a new WRX/STI hatch!

Still have the RX-8. In fact I think this year it will be the longest I have ever owned a particular car!

I had one of these:

Buying a new Jag seems like such an awful, awful prospect.

I went to look at one last Saturday (Along with a manual M235i) that was at a dealership where my friend works.

They have certainly become popular at autocrosses.

This sets a rather scary precedent as this effectively gives the executive branch carte-blanche to do whatever the fuck they want with no consequence.

I really like that Dua Lipa song.

Its a little too small for my family of 4 so it wouldn’t be replacing my STI, but yes, more hot hatches please!

I am a big rotary-nerd, but I am also quite a realist about how next-to-impossible another rotary powered sports car would be.

That is one beautiful car and a great photo!

Yeah, I ‘member the early days of Cars and Coffee. I lived in Metro Detroit and ‘Auto-Zone’ (Not the parts store and is now named Pasteiners) on Woodward ran a small cars and coffee that had the cars that you never saw at traditional car shows. Old European roadsters like Triumphs, and MG’s, the occasional Porsche,…

I stopped attending these events because of all the ass-hattery that goes on. Too much horsepower and ego combined with too little common sense and driving ability.

Goodbye and I wish you the best. I really enjoyed so much of what you have written and your weekend motorsport coverage was something I always looked forward to.

Im sad to see you go. I have truly enjoyed reading your material here and wish you well on your next venture!

I figured this would already be on here. Easily the best I have ever seen. At the very least, it's the only gas station that I ever bought a t-shirt from!

My wife, who is an Registered Nurse has pointed out that my STI also has C-Diff, which is a bacterial infection that wrecks your colon.

Manual wagon with sexy VR noises........MMmmm.  This is an easy NP for me.  But I have plenty of VW maintenance experience so I know what I’d be getting into.
