Right. I dated three girls at the same time once in college (three dates in one day even!) and I consider myself pretty on-top of things... and it was all I could do to keep names/dates/times/anecdotes/etc straight. Six women would be impossible unless there is some kind of master computer program tracker thing. Or if…

Sounds a little like The Anarchist Cookbook, which was based off of the Army’s Improvised Munitions Handbook.  Originally widely available book, but understandably became banned.. still can find it on the internet though.

You’re doing fine Torch.  Eff this guy lol

Crap? So your “guessing” that I hadn’t looked at the R market wasn’t implying that I didn’t know what I was talking about? Bc that’s how it read. Just take responsibility guy. It’s not hard to be nice or just say nothing at all. Sorry to hear that the market is tough right now and things are higher in Atlanta.

I know I know.. you’re on the internet and of course you know better. And it just feels so good to talk down to people right? No repercussions, so why not act like this?

I’m not saying they’re not desirable.. I desire them. But they routinely sell for $1.2-3k in operating condition. Putting the money into this one doesn’t make a whole lot of fiscal sense.  For $5k you’re approaching R territory.

No, it wouldn’t.  These things aren’t worth anything.

Look, I love P80 Volvos. I *get* them, I really do. But they’re just not worth anything, even in this current bubble. The fact is, you can find dependably running and driving P80s.. with a stick even... for this asking price or even less. These old boxy Volvos usually sell for approximately pocket lint.

Great joke bro.

You must not care about looks

This sounds like it’s a fairly common experience. Can you say why the GTI is more fun than the R?

Weight to power ratio for this is sub-10.. which in my book is pretty good, especially for an AWD car with some practicality.

So a 9ish year old Audi twin turbo with no room to speak of or a brand new 4-door hatchback R for the same price? I’d go new R... but just because of this ridiculous bubble.

That’s where I’m at.  I only click on his articles when I mistakenly forget to read who the author is ahead of time... like this article.

Straight line speed that isn’t a Tesla.

I usually only hear this from Camaro fans who are part of the hurr-derr, I associate with *insert car clan* so therefore all other clans must be garbage, tuk-er-jerbs goober movement. I’m assuming that’s not you, and I’m assuming you’re talking about an S550... so why did you think it was a piece of garbage?

I’ve never bought a new car before and I’m now considering it because of this craziness.

Right, because an automatic is “better”.  What a time to be alive.

I think these are beautiful and now I want to buy (a done) one.
