Don’t forget the weather. On a clear day, weekend ski traffic is horrible on I-70. This weekend?  Snow totals...

Bluetooth music is two thumbs-up, but I get weird connection issues on occasion.  But it seems my wife doesn’t have that problem, once I ended up driving her car and she was following behind in another car. Each time we hit a light and she pulled up behind me her phone connected.

My mom had an ‘84 Jetta with the Wolfsberg package.  That car was going to be mine until she nosed too far into an intersection and had it taken off by a truck.  The car’s nose, not my mom’s.  Oh, and my dad had a ‘67 Mustang which had a floorboard made out of a cookie sheet to patch the rust hole.

Bicycles are good.  

My wife and I took a sleeper car between Prague and Vienna a couple years back. It was the most wonderful way to sleep through an experience

I thought I wanted a plane until reading all of these comments. Now, not even a little bit. Maybe a train though...

Tiptoeing gets old. I love my GTI but hitting a hole wrong in my car feels like I ran over a baseball bat, where my wife’s Forester will waft right over that same hole.  

When I first read they weren’t sanctioned by the FIA I was like “Watt?”

Maybe we went to high school together.  The only one of these I ever saw was in auto shop class.  I’m pretty sure the windows got smudged with 30 oily kids peering in wondering “what the hell?”

And yet a garage from a home built in the same era is smaller than one built today.  

A movie about this guy!

She’s not into hipsters and their “ironic” cars!

rear-engined ‘kind of’ wagon?  I think this is the “New Type 3"

I saw one of these the other day in the parking lot of my daughter’s high school.  It was immaculate, and perfect, and I still don’t know how I felt about seeing it.  Like a mixture of nostalgia, awe, and abject horror.

I liked the wheels up until the picture with the Porsche’s Teledials.  More of those woulda looked good on the trailer.

They should have called it “GT40"

I’m 100% convinced if drivers stopped giving up their right-of-way to cyclists, cyclists would stop riding like assholes. I’ve been a road cyclist for 30 years and ride using the same rules as if I was driving. You wave too many people through an intersection when its not their turn, they’re going to expect it.

The far heater control in my GTI is partially blocked by its own knob (way to the right in the picture).  I think I’d be happy with a touchscreen.

We ended up leasing to get out of a similar situation. Daughter was born and my wife had a near-miss in our Geo Tracker which would have for sure killed the baby, and likely my wife. The next week she was driving a used Volvo XC, which ended up being a HUUUUUGE financial drain. Oil change = “oh, you’ll need new rotors…

I’m your size, which is tall enough.  Sometimes I feel like I was put on earth to help people get stuff off the top shelf.
