Reliability wise the mk5 GTI’s and newer (all I have hands on knowledge and experience with) are more reliable than most cars in their segment. Some people go through 5 water pumps, most still have the one from the factory. The TSI motor they introduced at the end of the mk5 gen and into the mk6 and 7 with different…

Jizzed in my pants when I drove an F430 Spyder w/ the F1 trans for the first time. Def added it as my midlife crisis car to purchase in 15 years or so

I laughed at this haha

Came to say the same thing, knew somewhere people would be butthurt about this funny joke

Only sheared two front right lug bolts in my mk6 GTI this season. The combo of sticky tires, lightweight wheels, a shitload of torque, peloquin diff, seems to love destroying graded lug bolts. Need to find a strung stud and nut kit for next season

My beater is an ‘01 ranger with the same 2.5l lima motor, and a 5 speed. Standard cab. It came around on me once on an NJ parkway on ramp when the rear didn’t like an expansion joint at 40 mph, saved that one with a light grazing of the steel barrier, no damage to anything but the bumper. Oh and a second time at 10mph…

Take a ride through a good deal of those middle red states and you might take back the statement that on things being “good.” Got a good look at that in a three hour drive to the middle of PA from NJ and, have seen areas just as destitute in NY outside of the city and VT in recent years. The “disenfranchisement” of…

Same for me in San Fran at the end of august. Reserved two months in advance in hopes of driving a convertible in yosemite. A hemi charger was a more fun drive, but every time I saw a convertible mustang or camaro I cursed Enterprise for the 8 days I was there

Yet when someone even mentions the same about texas, liberals call for the traitors to be hung. lmfao

Going to start playing this game consciously from now until eternity

This one did it for me, bye Gizmodo. Hopefully I can hold out over on jalopnik a bit longer.

Same, turning 27 tomorrow, currently looking in the central NJ’s NYC suburbs. Definitely would settle for a good house with room to build my own garage. I’m a geotech engineer so designing one will cost me nothing, and I worked for my father’s GC company before so I have the resources and skills to build one as well!…

They are from the two left lanes on the NJ turnpike, but that doesn’t stop them from using them to pass or ride in for miles at a time

Bring the motor to temperature, park on even surface, let sit for five minutes with engine off, pull dip stick, wipe clean with clean rag or towel, replace dip stick, pull again and check oil level on the stick.

Please keep us updated on legal outcomes!

She can’t handle the security of a small US facility in another country and has continued to lie about it, on record I might add, with the current commander in chief additionally lying about it, and you expect her to handle the security of the free world as the commander and chief? Trump is awful but if you think the…

Don’t know much a bout bikes but when I saw two or three of a buddies 4-6k bikes, without knowing their value I was very aware that they were worth more than most cheap reliable cars. fit and finish of the materials as others have said is astounding on some of them

There’s science supporting both sides of this “argument” The sad thing to me are those legit scientists and geologists provide evidence to the contrary of accelerated man made climate change and they’re laughed at. 40 years ago it was global cooling, 20 years ago it was global warming, now it’s just generalized as…

The Grand Budapest Hotel is the only movie I’ve ever walked out of, what a waste of time, still don’t understand how it’s so critically acclaimed

Great pic, love edge of the world and/or mountain range and valley background shots with a vehicle in front!
