Definitely have another $12,400 in the bank for potential repairs (I’d rather own a non-turbo...GTS 6MT would be best), but hellz yeah, this is a really nice looking Cayenne for the price!

Wow, it looks just like a new generation of a Freelander or something. Color me surprised, it looks very European; surprisingly soft. Will it impress the market its looking for here in the US?

I’m really looking forward to just how weird this is going to be! The media people who are allowed in will all be like “...it’s empty and weird, look!*camera pans across empty paddock*

I thought it was obnoxious, personally, and clearly there were enough people agreeing with me because they made the rule, and it was in direct response to Vettel overdoing it. Of course there were plenty of people at the time who were against the rule when it came in, but it was definitely a thing to be saying “enough

The general consensus seems to be that this was a dumb rule that should go away, but if people remember how annoying Vettel’s constant helmet changes were, you’ll remember why the rule came in in the first place. I don’t mind helmet changes here and there but every race (as Vettel usually did) was nuts...I hope we

My brother’s first car was a Mazda B2300 pickup with the extended cab and the little flip-up side-facing jump seats in the back. Obviously piling 4 or 5 people in (front bench!) sucked, but it was perfect for 3 people...two in front and one person lounging in the back (usually me :D )

The mom-mobiles are CUVs, crossover utility vehicles. The proper SUVs are either SUVs or 4x4s in my book.

I found a 2012, all stock, in a lovely blue, with fewer miles, for $44k asking. Think the 2011 here is a CP at $55k. At $40k it’d be a NP all day.

1st gear: a reminder that we cannot trust corporations to do the right things; because they will do the wrong thing for decades, and then PUNISH anyone internally who dares do the right thing. Regulate and oversee, because corporations DO NOT self-regulate for crap; they, in fact, do the opposite: they are EXCELLENT

I’ve grown so bored with super and hypercars the last several years; the more hyper and unattainable they are, the wider I yawn...but this makes my knees soft and another part of my anatomy hard. This thing is stunning in every way. I’m floored by it.

I intuitively came upon the solution of lowering the fuel rate by a click in order to stop this from happening; now I know why it worked. This post has been certified: SENSIBLE.

In the last 10-15 years of driving around the SF Bay Area, I’ve noticed people have gone from being really, really good about high beam usage to being...awful. You now regularly get blinded by people in the suburbs running their high beams because THEY want to see well...everyone else can just go blind and run into a

Way, way, way too much money for an Audi of this age, especially an Allroad. I really have a soft spot for Audis of this vintage, but $6500 for an Allroad? Insane. Even at half that price I would question it. Crack pipe.

4 cylinder 718s will be like automatic Miatas in the future: good cars that nobody wants and will be DIRT cheap.

I dig it! IMS fears are an expensive time bomb, unfortunately (Porsche flat-6 engine rebuilds seem to be a lot of money...), but they don’t affect every motor, and this combination of mileage, maintenance, condition, and price really makes for a nice Boxster. I even LIKE that the top mechanism is on the fritz; old

3rd gear: I love VWs, but I always advise people: never buy them when they first launch, or in their first model year. Every year you can put between your new VW, and the year it was first made available for sale to the public, makes your new VW a better car to own in the long run.

I like the car, but as a motorsport fan from amateur to F1 levels, the Saleen Cup didn’t necessarily make a lot of sense. Series need to justify their price of entry with how well they promote, and how good the field of competitors is to beat. The Saleen Cup had some promotion, but nothing that was going to take the

I knew an S with a manual and the brown interior were my must-haves. Every dealer had SE manuals they were desperate to get rid of. “We’ll sell you an SE for the price of an S!” they all offered. No. I held out for an S and paid MSRP for it. I owned my last VW for 12 years (a MkIV GTI with no options but 17s) and I

Screens replacing gauges is the Rubicon I really don’t want to cross in car ownership...Mk7s/7.5s are awesome, if the Mk8 retains or improves upon that chassis feel it’ll be a winner to drive. Loving my 2017 Alltrack S 6MT...especially because it doesn’t have a bunch of stuff I don’t want.

Guys, these things in decent, original shape are COLLECTOR CARS now. This is a nice price on something that is going to appreciate!
