And yet, having blown a shitload of money on fun cars over the years, I rather wish somebody had told me what an idiot I was being. I probably wouldn’t have listened, but maybe if repeated enough. And it’s not like he doesn’t already have an awesome car compared to most of the boring drek people drive.

Not gonna lie: I thought the same thing. Maybe see how the new job goes before you blow through a chunk of money that could cover you for a while if you get laid off.

How about just keep the damned GTI and use the money for something a lot smarter?

I always liked the dash in my mom’s Alfa Romeo Spyder.

In terms of practicality, honestly probably the mid 2000s VAG clusters. For me specifically the B7 RS4. Perfect combination of nice clear analog gauges for the important things, and a digital screen in the middle for everything else.

As with everything thing they do, Koenigsegg just does it better than the rest, this cluster is from the CC850.

I’ve always been fond of the 1st gen scion/toyota fr-s/86.

All you need, with Redline Straight up

Pretty much anything RWD with good snow tires. If I was buying something new, the 911 Dakar with snows would be sweet. But literally anything with heat and RWD is the answer. Convertible is a bonus, so maybe like a CLK55/63 AMG vert? The only real issue is, how much snow? Up to 6" and you are fine, over that you start…

The correct answer is: any car you like as long as you install a good set of winter tires.

I’ve plowed snow in a slammed S195 with Blizzaks and outside of the low ride height causing problems it was one of the best cars I’ve driven through a Wisconsin winter. Right now my daily is a Doug Nash 84 C4 Corvette with some…

What Car Company Do You Wish Still Built Cars?

Literally anything that you need to adjust while the vehicle is in motion.

Driving 18 in a 45 and not signaling... sounds like the only crime here was not using a signal and the cop tacked on the speed, which was likely just the guy slowing down to turn.

Do they have the “failure to signal” on dash cam? I’m not inclined to believe anything cops have to say without corresponding evidence. And driving by at less than half the speed limit may be a deliberate troll by this guy anyway. 

Ferrari F355 coupe. Will forever by my favorite car and favorite Ferrari (and IMO, the most beautiful looking). But with all the horror stories, and despite my European car ownership history, I’d still hesitate to buy one if I’m ever able to afford one. But dammit If I don’t think about owning one of these every other…

So much this...but there are lots of people who apply the term ‘communism’, ‘socialism’, or ‘fascism’ to mean “anything that I don’t like”...

That’s not their hands they're rubbing...
