I think it was the last year in the US for a manual. Canada could get it until 2017:

Agreed.  Some of the details make me think the craftspeople add some of their inputs too.  That ZJ redux from 2 years ago with the liquor box in the tail lamp and flannel headliner was so awesome.

“Someone remind me to change the combination on my luggage.”

The rear muffler was a spoiler.

No fault means everyone covers themselves including health costs. Which sounds nice.

Registration in Michigan isn’t the problem, it’s the no-fault insurance that gets you.

Did you get married and change your name?  Or just wanted to mix it up a little?

Would you propose they ship the Chryslers to Italy so Americans can’t see them?

They made a 1BB suspension for the Audi A4, but I haven’t found anything by googling for Audi TT.  I’d like to install it on our Passat, but the parts are worth more than the car...

I swore I saw a “300 SL 5” badge on a stick shift car.  Maybe it was homebrew?

What’s David’s middle initial? We could save tax dollars in monogramming if our leaders had the same initials.

Hunt of Red October just needs a Marco Polo joke between Seaman Jones and Jack Ryan and it would be perfect.

“ebikes” are electric assist bicycles.

I like your numbers but I’d argue wheelbase is more relevant for interior room.  Also comparing the Golf wagon to the Jetta sedan would be interesting.
