Fuck, I hate myself for saying this, but I really like this.

I tend to change cars every few years, so reliability isn’t a huge concern, but it also can’t keep leaving me stranded like my Abarth did. Of the 5 VWs I have had, I only had to call a tow once when. A crank case sensor went bad and the engine ran too rough. My Mini had to be towed once, but that is because a work…

The G really won’t drive the same. I have done both and the G really didn’t have the same athleticism. That said, it is a fantastic grand tourer and in no way a bad choice. I really want the IPL actually. *opens Craigslist, is threatened with divorce*

FACT!

That is a clean Jag! I just went from six to midnight.

I bought a GTI because it was better to drive. That 2.0t is one of the best engines out there in any car.

A Stillen supercharger, revised bushings, and NISMO springs really make it a Cayman killer. Probably one of the finest cars I have ever driven and I have driven a lot of cars.

You do, as Clarendon would say, you are driving an ending. That or a used BMW 1 Series.

So my buddy has a 2013 touring with Nismo springs, Injen exhaust, all bushings replaced with stiffer ones and a Stillen supercharger and the car is making somewhere in the range of 500hp. SWEET JESUS is it good to drive, like really good, like great. It is analog, manual, tons of power, phenomenal handling, and it…

It came with my tune kit and it is LOUD when the flap is open. Expensive, but worth it.

I can appreciate the color of your car. I think we have traded comments before, I recognize that car. Is yours a 2020?

Does it count if it is an F60 Countryman with JCW Tune Kit?

My experience with my 245, may she RIP, my wife’s Fit, and her Tiguan have taught me that more power means getting on the freeway is decidedly less terrifying. Living in the Bay Area with short entrances and Texas with insane drivers really does favor a car that can get out of it’s own way. Cars are also far heavier…

Heavier than the 940 too in some cases if you get the Golf R. My GTI was heavier than my 245!

Those wheezing 4 banger cars are still way faster around the track and in most cases, a straight line than anything from the 1960s. You are about 2 decades off here from that statement being accurate.

Fuck, there go my two guesses. I drive a Mini, so I am in the 4th most hated car. 

Considering that we now have higher speed limits and a VW Golf now weighs more than a Volvo 245 wagon did, more power is necessary. I mean a 3 series weighs almost 1,000 lbs more than it did 30 years ago. And it’s one thing when everyone has no power, but when the speed limit was 55mph, 0-60 didn’t matter.

We already have the Ukraine thing too and that made me immediately suspicious. 

This is such a heart breaking case for me because I do believe women when they come forward simply because to do so requires an immense amount of bravery due to the stigma involved. I believed Dr. Ford because she was drug out of the shadows and even went to testify in front of the Senate.

The Karma is like the XFL, doomed to failure every time. It wasn’t a good idea then and it is an even worse idea now. Did they even get to market in this country?
