I just sold one of these with more miles but overall better condition for 10k last year, even had the same interior and exterior colors. I’m kind of amazed these don’t get more attention as they drive well and tick a lot of boxes. But on the other hand they're Audis and still do Audi things. I'll admit that I was…

Yup. Good engineering is about more than how fancy and new something is, a factor the Germans don’t seem to internalize. Often the true “marvels” are the items that refine good ideas to new heights or make previously unusable tech mainstream.

As a Boat Person I can tell you this is correct. Travis has signed on to co-drive it for a couple of races.

Don’t worry, that didn’t mean they suddenly became ultra-reliable. As a C4 owner, I hesitate to use my headlights because one currently makes 11-13 knocks every time it goes up or down, and I rue the day I have to get it rebuilt (again).

I think about what it would have been like had my 987 had the motor from the Focus RS or Civic Type R and sure, it would have…

Knowing Tesla, that rear end squat is likely intentional to make loading/unloading easier.

This is honestly a lot better. Also better access to the bed is never a bad thing.

If growing up involves becoming callous to authoritarian governments then I’ll pass.

Nah fuck you for taking the time out of your day to explain your passivity in regards to mass media censorship.

Authoritarian regime forcing leisure time restrictions onto children? “Meh” - This fucking guy, 2019

I used it here because this person is taking time out of their day to mock expressions of style that don’t align with their own. Classic boomer move.

Ok boomer

Frankly I think Formula E should cut it out with all the environmentalism and Stick to Sports.
