Last one I saw, at the Porsche/Audi/VW shop owned by the gleaming Tony Robbins wanna-be in this berg was over $75k. This one seems like a bargain by comparison.

We ‘mericans are so dang silly. There is no Acura in the rest of the world, only Honda Car dealers. Now they want to up market a Hyundai. Heck, I remember they made computers back in the day. Undercut an IBM 286 by $1500 even then.

Left Bubba Left! is the only thing you really need to know.

Beautiful finish. It’s what the Olympics are all about. NBC is dropping the ball, no question. I’m a cord cutter, so all I see is the what ever the network lets out terrestrially.

Saw it live or near live, as NBC’s olympic coverage is so lame.

As is my ‘71 Dodge D100 Sweptline... last of the breed, puke green, a hole in the hood where the fan blade went through 1971 US STEEL hood. And it always starts. And if it doesn’t, nothing costs more than $50 to fix it.

RIP David E. Davis “Cogito Ergo Zoom” was his and he coined it.

Glad mine is paid off...and still under mileage. And should it need too much money (it is, after all, and Audi) I’ll just pull on my Aerostich and ride one of the 9 paid off motorcycles in the garage.

Born in Birmingham; happily we got before I turned 3. I go back occasionally to the Barber Track (though I’ve heard it’s not worth going through 3 checkpoints to get in now). I was at UGA when Jan Kemp called foul when football players in her class getting great grades - but not even showing up. The Athletic…

There is a two stroke Subaru from Japan for sale on “bring a trailer”. When I was in NZ, those small pickups were everywhere. And they build everything we do here. I’d much rather see a sea of those little workhorses instead of the manly man silly ass trucks everyone buys in ‘merica dammit.

First time out with your old girl Jeep. Epic in all regards. You’ll laugh about it over beers soon enough. Congrats on a safe and success icecapade.

Saw it last Friday... glad he gave ‘em another go. Nice to see it wax an R8 too.

My family after Willys Jeeps was all about Subaru. Mom had a four door with a “midnight over tokyo” digital dash - that I constantly set to kilometers... my sister had a 4x4 hatchback that was just as basic as a Beetle; she drove it for years after being hit and rolling it over on the Cooper River Bridge in Charleston…

Sigh. My old man drove one of those. It had a solid oak bumper and someone had painted WWII tiger fangs on it... forever known as “Puff”, it would go flat anywhere, slowly, but it would go.

“I give it a collapse before the end of the year. You?”

Like my old man used to say, “any given team on any given day” She saw what the situation was, did her best, and won. That comes from experience, knowing your art/sport and getting back to basics.

My 2004 Audi TT Quattro mit 6 speed manual has 225HP, Brembos and Michelins. It also has a factory silly as wing as some idiot journalist wrecked one at speed.

Wow. Just freaking wow.

Oh, how I agree with you. Suzuki Sidekicks and Samurai are prime examples. They are flat gone in the marketplace - most hacked into off road vehicles with massive tires and snorkels. I wish I had never sold my Sidekick. Dead simple, ran fine, fuel injected and 30+ mpg.
