The only reason I rent out a stupid mid-size diesel cars whenever I am in Italy, or driving through Italy to France, is that I do not really need a car that is 5 meters long (I am too tired to do the conversions, do your own my fellow americans), hell, I probably should not drive car so big unless I got the whole…

I like VW AG cars, and I wish they will manage their fuckup in a manner in a satisfactory way for everybody involved, but I do not shed a tear for their “booohooo 10k for one car fix”.

I read the whole article out loud in Demuro’s accent and lisp and saliva coming out of my mouth. I love you, Demuro!

My whole family is Volkswagen AG loyal, and although I tried to dip in overseas waters, I ran back to VAG as soon as I Can.

God those m1 and m2 prices are awfull for rx100. I mean here in the land of overpriced electronics - EU, we have mk1 for 300 and mk2 about 420-ish. But on the other hand, finding mk4 under 1000 is a good deal.

I was very sad that I have to have the alcantara in my Golf Sportsvan, I was even considering to buy the Comfortline trim level that does not have it - but if you want the manual 14-way adjustable seats, they come with alcantara anyway.

Dear Furious Daughter, because your father was loved by many he got the gift of no public shaming due to the way how he managed to end his own life. Same like rock stars who overdose on hard drugs. We want to remember them by their music, or movies and not by the problems, fear and the whole carousel of emotions they…

Regular car voice : I tinted my back lights so they work less!

Did the author of this note already hand out all the GM stickers about all the dead people?

most of the factories I visited are...except Korean. I work in automotive supply chain, and I get invited to lots of factory tours, I had the chance to see practically everything from the top 30 models sold in Europe being made, usually they also prepare something like “build your own”, so we move from station to…

as someone who drove stick for 10 years, and also tried these fancy gadgets with Project Cars, I can discouarge you right away of your attempt, because it is set to fail. If something, then it will just give you some bad habits that will take longer time to get rid of if you plan to buy a car with manual. Learning to…

Considering how quickly you are done with the single player missions that sounds about right. Unfortunately for me, as I ONLY play single player. I run through it twice, and then I am done, luckily my local game store has decent buy-back program.

No, what would make a statement would be “hey, 3 guys in that giant gas guzzling SUV, scooch over, I’ll ride with you”

I am not from UK and I am able to calculate the US mpg conversion just fine, thank you

I always liked how it works on the top-level. Shit hits the fan? Let me do the honorable thing to jump off the boat, you deal with the aftermath.

If people who drive shorter journeys, in general not optimal for diesels, and want a really good and efficient VW, then ask them bring over the 1.4tsi engine. I get 37mpg with DSG and having the DSG always in sport mode. If I put it in normal Drive mode, I get 42-43, and if I bother with grandpa-like driving I can put…

It does not make any change to show off in an econobox (maybe because I’m from Europe I consider anything under 30mpg a gas guzzler but that’s for another discussion), if you still need to be followed by armored SUVs that weigh 4 tons and average 5mpg.

six hundred suit? Maybe I am missing something, but you can’t buy a decent suit for 600 here in Europe even if your body would exactly fit the measures those underage tailors in Bangladesh pulled up from their ass w0rking 16 hour shifts for C&A and the like.

The funniest thing - all the expensive Audi diesel cars in Europcar rental seem to be somehow abandoned, overnight. I was scouting a good deal for my November visit to Germany for the past week, and usually I don’t give a damn and take whatever is available, but this time apart the regular hotel-office-hotel journeys…

I honestly don’t understand why Opel/Vauxhall did not end up the trash of European car market together with the rest of GM’s brands. Opel is now doing OK in Germany and Scandinavia, maybe partly UK. That is it. They were always good in Russia but those are russian built cars and you don’t want that, trust me, I lived…
