A friend of mine years ago had a Rabbit pickup truck that he dropped a GTI motor into. Boy... that was a rocket, with a LOT of torque steer... LOL It was really fun!

Drooling...

Once, but all the way in.

LOL  Sure!

If they ride on public roads, they have to follow the same rule as a vehicle.

Exactly!  I have not seen a single cyclist who followed the rules of the road.  NOT a single one!  Everyone blows right through red lights and stop signs, and turn left on red when there is no car coming.

Look at all those Nikon lenses and Mcintosh amplifiers...

I have only owned VW AG cars all my life so far. First car, 1979 Rabbit (built in the USA) which I later swapped an 1985 GTI motor and transmission into. Second car, 1978 German made Rabbit, which I swapped a brand new GEX GTI motor and ABT close ratio gear box into. Then I got a Jetta 16V, Passat Wagon, Passat Sedan,…

I think instead of “thick”, “in height” is more clear.  Just my opinion for being an engineer with OCD.

What a joke...  It’s always country first, or you die over there!

So I don’t have to buy the RS5...

Let’s not forget that China already has a copy of the F35 design obtain by the hacking back a few years ago.  And they have made a “stealth” plane from that stolen design.  So, I think it also has a lot to do with this since if these other countries don’t buy a stealth plane, then the Chinese version will eventually…

All I can say is that I am jealous...  It would have been a great follow up car for my Touareg V6 TDI here in the States.

It appears that you really hate VW’s. Oh well. If you believe in stats, then VW should have gone out of business a long long time ago. And the same goes with the other German car companies.

LOL

So just buy the simplest car and just drive it.  Problem solved for you.

It’s not an excuse to justify buying a VW. Either you hate it or you love it. I love it, and I’ve driven nothing but VW AG cars. And I am at least 10 years older than you. My mother had a Mazda that leaked power steering fluid on the way home after she bought it from the dealership. My dad had a Maxima that was…

For the record, it’s my wife’s car, and she and I both love it. We actually had the same car in V6, not TDI. But when the fix came out and the TDI was on sale again, I bought it with a super deal. And once you drive the TDI, you just can’t go back to the plain V6. The 400 lb-ft of torque is intoxicating! It’s like…

Exactly!

Those are not my experiences with VW cars.  I drive these cars HARD with a lot of modifications.  120K miles of hard acceleration, braking, high speed runs on my cars, and they still hold up very well.  Yes, I’ve heard a lot of horror stories on VW cars, but I’ve also heard horror stories on Japanese cars as well. …
