This really doesn’t give a compelling reason as to why a person shouldn’t use the self cleaning feature. We run ours about once a year. Common sense says you should remove any large chunks of food or spills before running it. It doesn’t smell great when the self cleaning cycle runs, but we’ve never had a house full of…

What reason would I have to not fly in one (other than a global pandemic)? Stop fear mongering.

I mean, according to Mercedes Streeter’s article last week, everything should have been fixed, right? Wasn’t it supposed to be the counterpoint to the hit piece you wrote on the 18th?

I wrote a sort-of review of my Passat W8. The dying Passat is a TDI. The irony of the diesel dying before the infamous W8 is not lost on me. lol

I mean, you’re talking to a person that daily drives an old school bus, logic isn’t always my strong suit. lol

It is a smaller wheel than I think it should be. Reminds me of a steering wheel out of an arcade game.

Ir’s a stupid sticker and nope, not at all centered. lol I already peeled it off because it was bothering me, too.

I am loving your stuff so far. You give me hope that perhaps Jalopnik’s best days are not behind it. Keep up the good work!

She’s got a W8, so this *has* to be more reliable in the long term.

Don’t tell anyone, but I love stanced cars. I drove a slammed BMW e34 for years. I carried some wooden boards in the trunk to get me out of trouble. Like I couldn’t even get in my own driveway. But I’m more of a coilover guy. My worry about driving a car with airbags is an bag developing a leak and stranding you…

I believe that is a piece of red electrical tape. it definitely does not look centered or squarely applied.

I thought it was a dodge caliber from the thumbnail, but couldn't imagine anyone putting anything other than gas in a caliber.

I like the tactic of confronting a neighbor who had your car illegally towed by bringing home something much worse. 

I’m all about living vicariously through the shitbox projects of others, but this is too much for me.

You said it all, man.

I’m not surprised. In practice it usually takes a lot less than 14 days for someone infected to show symptoms, and experiments already showed that most folks with mild cases weren’t contagious after nine days (in the sense that they couldn’t cultivate a bunch of virus taken from a swab of them). If they’re not…

I swear, when I saw the lead image as a thumbnail on the home page, I thought it was a slightly-squashed image of a stanced Dodge Grand Caravan. Now I will forever see a Jetta wagon as a squashed Dodge Grand Caravan.

wat.

pfffffffft! the center wheel stripe is off-center lol unless it’s an optical illusion?

A decade-old modded VAG product. Inspires a few questions:
