I want to say it’s painful, but I’m numb to it at this point. At least I didn’t have to pay for my tickets last week.

Is it weird I want their into/outro music played at my funeral?

Neither did we.

I hear you, but these events are pretty interesting in person. Headed to my second on in January. All the guys I know that do it have moved from 1/4 stuff to it.

Its odd how much this happens around here (Jacksonville). Happened in my parents neighborhood when I lived there...car/teenager were in the pond for 3-4 days before one of his buddies has the idea to check it. Saw one of his tennis shoes floating in the pond.

Im sure the other car was cookin’ too. Id imagine the lambo is a good bit more stable at those speeds too when you get on the brakes.

Nice! What a weird series of events to get to that kick. I had zero faith Myers would make it after that missed 26’er.

I see you appreciate agony as much as I!

...and the kid probably just got done running his hand/fingers down it.

They have had issues with the cam/cam follower/cam/HPFP damage since the MK5 2.0T motors. Ive replaced my cam follower many times just to try and stay ahead of it being punched through and destroying my cam and HPFP.

Im curious how long it takes to render a 52 megapixel/10 shot image. The burst rate/buffer should be interesting.

You would think I would have realized that with your screen name!

I had a 337, but this one isnt mine...but gives you an idea of what it looked like. Could always add the red/chrome GTI emblem from the 20th anniversary if you wanted to add a little red to the grill.

They did put the red stripe in the bumpers of some of the MK3, though that doesnt really count. They completely missed the mark on the MK4. I even has a spare grill for my MK4 painted black (silver car) just to give it a bit more of the traditional look. My MK5 has it, some all is well with the world again.

Exactly, completely skipped the MK3 and MK4 for whatever reason. Though, they had a lot of blunders during that time with those models.

Fairly insignificant, but I’ve always enjoyed the red around the grills from old to new GTIs. Though it wasn’t done with every generation.

How about the astronaut Corvettes?

Looks a lot like my buddies...

Yeah, I hear you. Im just not sure I have faith in the general public wanting to understand that. Any bad headlines for anything diesel isnt good for the general public to be scanning over.

Think that sucks it this could cause real harm to the public’s view of diesel, just as things were looking better for long term options in the US.
