Is that Jim Brewer riding shotgun?

Bingo! But I believe it was just the S model. Cool concept and great engineering, but the ROI in efficiency just wasn't there for what it cost to build.

Here's a real brain teaser—-name the only passenger car to use a Miller cycle engine. (googling is cheating).

I usually just say "I am trans". Yoda says "Trans am"

It could just be that the MaxCare is that good. Most aftermarket warranties I've had made me feel like I had bought a blu ray player off a street vendor because I was told it had "Sony Guts". If you could get the service writer to actually call the company regarding the claim, you'd get a reply like "Yessir, we do…

You're actually one of the few people I know who seem able to enter a dealership service department and get them to accept your aftermarket warranty without being treated like you're trying to use a 2-for-1 entree coupon at The French Laundry.

I'm a trans person too—-manual trans.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.....your main reason for disliking this car (OMG, I had to INTERACT with PEOPLE sooo much) is the prime reason I enjoy riding my motorcycle or driving my old 2002 somewhere. In this day and age where face to face conversation is all but dead, it's enjoyable to me to…

You won the internets yesterday.

Without the reserve being met nor known, it's impossible to say that it's a budget alternative to a Hellcat. For all we know, they want 6 figures for this.

MkII Jettas and Golfs for NA did have partial production in Mexico....I don't recall how the numbers divvied up though. I DO recall in the late 80's when I was searching for a GTi or a GLi, looking at every VIN number I found to determine whether it was German or Mexican production.

I'll add one....floor mounted high-beam dimmer switches. Yeah, sucks for those of you in the snowy states, but soooo convenient.

Ooof...had a 1994 I bought new. $23k out the door for a loaded GLX (loaded meaning leather and 6 disc CD changer which broke 3 months after the 24/24k bumper to bumper expired). Fun fun car though, and the Neuspeed CAI intake made it sound completely badass. I agree though, that car had the mother of all electrical…

Holy awkward syntax......."I'm coming to you live from inside a 650 horsepower weapon from Bowling Green." ;-)

I live about an hour south of where you are now....where in Bowling Green is that snow-capped peak in your picture?

A shitty driver blaming tire pressures and cold weather helps you be a better driver? More power to you man.

If the humor was too subtle, then clearly my comedian lawyer tactics worked.

So I'm no rocket surgeon, but isn't the risk of side impact cockpit penetration (huh-huh) much less than the risk of the new cars submarining under the car in front of them in a rear impact situation? It seems to me like it's a much more common crash than the T-bone situation this is attempting to alleviate.

LOL...$2k...that's rich. Either you've never replaced one, or you make the dealer's day when they see you drive up.

I've never figured out why Southwest doesn't show up on more of these. Switched my biz travel to them 2 years ago and haven't looked back. Generally on time departures and arrivals, comfortable planes (no regional jets), very reasonable fares, the easiest boarding in the business, employees who are customer-oriented…
