So’s Comey. Oh, but he was nominated by a Democrat, so he must be biased, right? Not like we’ve had other cross-party major cabinet members in the past or anything...

Don’t let me forget that I owe you a drink.

If he’s smart, he’ll have parked significant assets overseas. That’s part of the reason so many Chinese millionaires have been buying up real estate in the West: compared to cash, it’s a much harder asset to freeze/seize if they get in trouble. Then they just need to get themselves and family out, but he’s probably…

As an STI owner...

There were a dozen candidates for CotD on that thread. Best post in a long time.

Gotta be that or a Toyota Pickup.

Maybe this one’s studying to be a paralegal?

A lot of our highways are designed to be used as backup runways. Legacy of the Cold War. I can just imagine flying cars trying to merge in and out of traffic on the highway...

Then you need more displacement to make up for it.

The problem is modern twinscrolls and TTs. An older single turbo setup with all the lag in the world that kicks you in the back like a horse when you hit peak boost isn’t exactly the kind of highly controlled experience he’s complaining about.

Unless you’re married to natural aspiration, just throw a supercharger on there. There’s a guy in my area who’s does autoX with a 1.8L NB.... and a 1.8L supercharger. It’s around 400whp. He told me it could easily be doing more, but he’d get too much wheel spin and he can’t fit wider tires on without compromising the…

You can’t get a new 2-door at all anymore, so you’re limited to whatever options you find on a used one.

Doing FWD right is complicated. There’s a reason it didn’t become common until the 80s.

Nope. Only the 4-cylinder gasser, and only with rwd, extended cab, and in the two lowest trims.

Like all of the weird race cars that come in from other countries and never get registered because they’re only ever trailered to and from the track.

There are a few (very few) Euro-spec Audis which the NHTSA & EPA consider to be “substantially similar” to the US version. In principle, they have to be brought in by a registered importer to have the appropriate changes made, which means switching the gauges to miles from km and changing the warning lights. I’ll bet…

My first car was done-in by an electrical issue: there was a short somewhere so the battery died in hours when parked, and we just couldn’t figure out where the problem was. Really too bad because it was in great mechanical condition aside from rust on the front strut towers. But it had a full life: it was a 21 years…
