From one Matt to another, I’m sorry for what you are going through, it’s not easy, but keep your head up and you will make it through. The CTR was a great choice at the time, but it is no longer the car for you, and that’s okay. Personally, I got myself a ‘16 Jetta GLI that I leased new, and have now financed after…

Update: I have since left NJ, and have realized how much better it is to live somewhere that has space to build nice, wide, lanes. Also, no more dead stop traffic everywhere, congestion, extremely crazy drivers (just normal crazy levels) and somewhere that the corruption isn’t an as obvious thing! That being said, I’m…

This. I’m born and raised (and stuck for now) here in NJ, and same thing. Our taxes are OUT OF CONTROL, yet our roads are HORRENDOUS. My stock Jetta GLI came with 18" wheels, I currently have one in my trunk with a cracked lip from hitting a pothole that I have to now go get welded on my own dime - thanks Nazi Jersey.

H…

I was JUST thinking about cars from the turn of the century this morning, get out of my head Jalopnik!

One quote from my dad that will stick with me forever is, “just remember, Henry Ford said, you can have a car in any color you want, as long as it’s black”

Not sure how no one has said this yet, and it may be a bit of a road trip from Boca Raton, FL to find one, but it’s well worth it.

The correct answer is a 2008 Audi RS4 Cabrio. V8, 6-speed manual, looks like a base model A4 to the majority of people and if cared for will last you for years to come, especially for the…

Ah, okay, I didn’t realize it was an older forum that’s been around, thanks for the info. Speaking of older forums, after reading this article I went and checked out a forum I used to be on back when I was just a yout’ lol; TriStateTuners and to my surprise, it’s still up, but it’s very dead.

Again, I’m fairly new to…

I’ve got a MK6 Facelift Jetta GLI (2.0t Gen 3) and VWVortex is the best forum for information for sure, however, compared to many other forums I’ve been on over the years, it lacks in constant activity for my specific platform. Unfortunately, the MK6, Jetta and GLI FB groups are more active.

But, compared to any other…

This is what the app GasBuddy is great for. While in line waiting to get my car, I check out local gas prices and stations to see how far away they are. If the pre-pay option is actually competitive, then it’s not a bad option, same if there’s no gas stations nearby. However, if the price outside is way more…

CRAP! I definitely must have skimmed right over that point in the article, thanks for clarifying, lol

Very true, I definitely wasn’t thinking about how much more per W we are getting nowadays, compared to yesteryear. This is very true, with the power efficiency of newer CPU’s, motherboard, SSD’s, etc. and the %80+ rating of just about all PSU’s now, we definitely are just barely sipping power compared to the old days.…

I enjoy these climate change articles and comments, however, one subject that I NEVER see being brought up is the reliance on technology. What I mean by that, is how 30 years ago, businesses were ran without massive datacenters (see: power hungry servers), without every employee having a laptop, and some having a…

Every city in the US. I live in NJ and worked in NYC for years, mass transit in NJ is HORRENDOUS, and that’s being nice to NJTransit. NYC Metro, well, just google the MTA and you’ll see how bad that system is too. It actually is easier, and quicker to call a car service or drive yourself in that city than take mass…

How about ATS-V? can those be had yet for ~$35k in his area? Smaller, but still plenty of power. I second *TS-V and RC/IS-F (Loved that IS-F when it first came out!)

IIRC 50 Cent had something to do with the styling of the G6 GXP, as he was very popular at the time of its release. I feel that helps explain the styling of this car, not that I like or agree with it, but helps explain it.

I spoke with my dad about this the other day when it was announced. He used to work for CART, then moved to Continental Sports Car series in IMSA, and now works in the Weathertech series in IMSA, as well as Mazda Road to Indy. He knows Roger well, and confirmed that this is not only a good thing, this is a great thing…

Okay, I didn’t think of looking at all the companies tied together like that, that’s a good point, thank you.

As for the eating eggs - media comment, I guess you’re probably right, I just tend to ignore stupid media sh!t like that - it helps not having cable or twitter and taking a lot with a grain of salt in general.

In…

SpaceX? He created SpaceX because he is fearful of AI becoming too powerful, thus we have an out to get off the planet and colonize a new one, at least that’s what I’ve always read was the primary reason for creating SpaceX. The secondary reason was the destruction of our planet and having an alternate option to…

Ahh yes elon Musk’s Twitter, the Donald Trump of the auto industry.

As someone else here put it (Alex Leeks), Elon created Tesla to help “better” the environment by helping people go electric, yet any competition he gets butthurt about. Very hypocritical.

Also, as many other commenters mentioned, which I also agree…

Though I’m not a fan of the CTR styling, no denying it’s a nice car. Well built, Honda reliability, quick, etc. However, I just added these to my gf’s 2017 Civic Sport Hatchback, and think you need them too:
