Odd fun fact: many rally raid vehicles aren’t AWD/4WD. In fact some classes don’t allow for AWD/4WD.

A dull guillotine will still kill a person as long as it hits the right spot.

My grandfather eventually died because of an airbag hit, but he was one of those people who sat with their chest approximately 6 inches away from the wheel and was driving a ‘92 Caprice with the old single stage airbags.

If you can fit humans in the rear seat, it will already be ahead of the RS3s sold in the US since Audi can’t be bothered to give us a fucking hatchback version.

I hope he does, but I’m not sure how well removing 18ish years of age from him is going to work.

I hope not. That ending fucked me up for days afterward.

What about a cat strapped into an infant sized car seat? I’m pretty sure kids aren’t going to happen at this point.

I read that as the American Society of Pedantics at first and just started laughing hysterically at work.

Even good for some mild off roading as well.

If he’s bound and determined to get a sedan, there’s the GLI as well. With 8K plus trade he might get close enough to new to finance the minimum amout and pay it off in a year or two.

The fact that the Corvair was an example used to highlight the general lack of safety in the auto industry and especially the small car segment resulted in the death of the Corvair and nothing else changing until the 80s is both incredibly sad and incredibly funny at the same time.

I would. I love Corvairs.

Price is one thing, finding one is harder because I’m pretty sure the Mid-Ohio School buys every one that comes to market as backups.

Seems like everyone in the comments forgets that GMC exists.

From everything I’m seeing it was only on the 2500HD and 3500HD pickups for the first two years. Evidently the ZF 6-speed was also an option on the pickups. Neither of these options were ever on the Avalanche or Suburban

Even the TT-S isn’t that much of a value proposition over the Golf R. The only one that was worth anything is the TT-RS.

Unfortunately the Avalanche didn’t come out until after the 8.1/Allison combination was dropped from the HD trucks. I think they only did that for a couple years before the Allison became diesel only.

The old F100 unibody trucks weren’t really unibody vehicles. They were body on frame like normal pickup but they removed the separation between the cab and bed.

General rule in our family was if it was truck based, it’s a truck. If it’s car based, it’s a car. Got all of the nuance out of the way.

Missouri was interesting in that it followed those rules, but an SUV/CUV/passenger van can be licensed as either a car or a truck. This is how it was when I left 5 years ago, but I’m not sure if it has changed.
