As I discovered with my GTI, your car doesn’t rack up many miles when on the back of a flatbed...

I had this same issue when I bought my Mazda5 back in 2012. Luxury goodies or manual transmission? I decided to give up the toys and get the manual, figuring that I could add most of the other stuff in if I wanted it. I’ve had plenty of luxury and sports cars, so much of the stuff I may be missing isn’t anything I…

Looking at it on the phone I couldn’t tell which was which. Is that a good or bad thing?

Why not - he’s already quite familiar with poutin...

Just disable the power brakes, power steering and air conditioning. All the health benefits without having to stop the vehicle to exercise.

Right - lots of excellent restaurants that probably adjust the seasoning level to compensate for the altitude.

From what I’ve read, your senses of taste and smell don’t work as well at higher altitude, and as a result they over-season the in-flight meals to make them taste like something, anything. Hopefully they’ve toned down the salt content for ground consumption.

No problem - all we need is some of that transparent aluminum. Just ask Scotty, he’ll give you the recipe.

Pfft. Back in my day we didn’t even get a body. Or suspension. And we had to make do with square pistons. Square! And we liked it that way...

I heard a tale of a team having a hard time opening a fuel filler door, and when they pried it open they found the tip of a finger.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I had a GTI in high school and college with that same red interior. Loved the color, hated the gauges. Friends and family all had German made German cars, and I preferred the instruments in all of those because they weren’t so busy, with markings for each MPH. Those gauges are just too busy IMHO.

My mother is famous, in the family at least, for her spinach and sausage stuffing. But when my sister married her husband she ‘converted’ (from what I don’t know since we were a household of atheists) to Judaism to appease her future MIL. As a result, food at family gatherings a suffered. Pizza? Cheese or vegie only.…

GMC for extra value? I miss the days when they were real trucks and not tarted-up Chevrolets.

I’ll take one of these, please. Pass-through locking storage AND a dump bed for easy unloading of that haul from Costco? I’m sold.

Exactly. I had a serious frontal offset accident that totalled my T3. Windshield popped out and the side was distorted, but there was no intrusion into the passenger compartment and I drove away. They did a damn good job on what looks like would be a dangerous vehicle. I’d drive one today (if I could afford one...)

Can we have them do a half-gainer into a spinning propeller instead? Boat, airplane or helicopter (rotor) - I'm not picky...

I’m just saying that sedans are style over substance, like a bro-dozer, and because of that it’s no wonder that they’re dying off. I found the sedans that I owned (E34, W210) to be quite attractive, just not terribly useful, which to me is what a vehicle is supposed to be and why I prefer to drive wagons, vans and…

Rear seats don’t really matter - it’s what’s behind the rear seats that count. Versatility is the key - I once witnessed my sister and her family, including German shepherd, come to visit in their G35 convertible. If four seats are occupied, where do you put the dog? On the hump in the back was their solution, and I…
