Try the Alfa. Brown Daub in Easton PA will have 15 Giulias on hand by the end of January. I’ll be travelling 4 hours from upstate NY to try one. I drove a Jag XE last weekend, it was extremely underwhelming. I’m hoping the Giulia will be more exciting and dynamic.

We’re aren’t being paid handsomely. We’re getting a devalued wholesale trade-in value, plus some compensation that bumps us back up to retail values essentially... and offsets what is essentially paying sales tax twice, since the buyback doesn’t allow us to apply the buyback value to reduce the tax burden on a new…

No, this was a horrible explanation video. If he hadn’t used his smartphone, he would have just been pulling words out of his ass.

2013 Jetta TDI owner here. I won’t be buying a Cruze diesel, I won’t even be looking at one.

Hemmings still exists? You are talking about that ugly brown covered print classifieds magazine with paper pages thinner than single ply toilet paper?

Of course VW is going to make this as painful and as drawn out as possible. Because it benefits them to do so! The more miles you accumulate, especially if it is just enough to bump you into another mileage tier, the less they’ll have to pay you.

What brand new car am I going to get for $21k? That is as nice as my 2013 VW Jetta TDI Premium? And gets the same fuel economy? And with the same performance?

Does this count as promoting zero emissions vehicles, as per the VW Settelment? I mean if the US government forces you to promote zero emissions electric vehicles as part of your punishment, you might as well go racing!

If someone shot you in the head, the world would be better off.

Your life will be much better, with more toys for yourself, if you don’t have children.

Exactly! I’m in the same boat. The mileage on these cars is supposed to be frozen to the Sept 2015 date. My wife uses our TDI as her daily commuter and her commute changed from 30 miles a day to 75 miles a day in Oct 2015, greatly accelerating how many miles we’re putting on this TDI.

No significant impact on MPG or performance... but some some or impact is expect and will be acceptable.

We wouldn’t need laws, and therefore lawyers, if I was just allowed to kill people I don’t like. It would work out really well (for me).

Lewis is 31. How does a 31 year old find those Snapchat filters to fun and humorous? They’re immature and represent Hamilton’s lack of a normal adolescence. That’s the kind of “shit” 11 year olds enjoy.

Splitting wood by hand is one of the most fulfilling chores I’ve ever done. Not only is it great exercise (if done for a reasonable amount of time), but it is a great way to work out frustration (imagining annoying customer’s head on block of wood). And if you’re really effective at splitting wood in your backyard…

Exactly! As a ‘13 Jetta TDI owner, I’m pissed that VW fucked me over.

They’re not showing us the thread forming process being used. After they rough out the bolt shape, the video picks up with with the head being shaped on the secondary spindle.

Better looking than a Tesla 3.

Didn’t say that, nor did I imply that.

Also, do you know about not hitting the outside of a bearing race to install the bearing onto a shaft? Not only hitting the outside, but only on one side of the race! Seriously, get yourself some pipe to slip over the input shaft, which will allow you to hit squarely down on the inner race (which is the one you’re…
