Was the mac n cheese moving?
Full of the sound of the Gran Fury, signifying nothing.

Let’s see - pay $10K more for a less useful ‘utility’ vehicle? Pass. Not that these are used in that fashion - you might as well just add a trunk. It probably wouldn’t sell all that well if it was cheaper than a regular Cayenne, with people playing more for ‘style’. Again, pass. But I'm not really in the target…
Cool Pic, with some of the greatest drivers all in one spot. But I could never respect Prost and Senna, as well as Schumacher, like I did Villeneuve and Lauda. I may be in the minority in this opinion, but I believe in sportsmanship over just winning. Crashing into a rival to win a title? That’s the kind of behavior…
A few decades back I was in an automotive technology program. A classmate’s dad worked for Toyota and had a leased Camry. He was about to turn it in and get a new lease but he had to prove that maintainance was done during the period that he used the car. At 90,000 miles we performed the first oil change on that…
Damn.
You think he actually listens to what his underlings attempt to tell him? All I see is him sitting there with his fingers in his ears repeatedly chanting “na na na I can’t hear you na na na”...
I have no family, but I just like minivans, as long as they’re not a snore to drive. This one is fun to zip around in on a daily basis, yet extremely practical when I need the space.
Minivans, too. When you've only got 157 HP, you have to make each one count. Seven years on and I have never regretted this decision.
Years ago, a friend of mine drove a ‘67 Karmann Ghia. It was his first car, and was even the car in which he was brought home from the hospital after he was born. He wasn’t a good driver, and even less skilled mechanically; for example, he decided to check the oil only after the engine had seized.
What was that you were saying, Stretch?
I’ve always wondered about this issue, especially since buying my last new car. I bought their 2012 loss- leader after the 2013s had already come out. Their first offer was about 10% off of list, but then I pulled out my iPad and showed them their very own ad, with the VIN listed, and said I’d pay the price in the ad…
That is indeed a good piece of music.
Well, if anyone made a small, fun to drive, manual transmission mini-minivan I might be tempted to replace the one I have, but since it’s unlikely that this combo will ever exist again in my lifetime, if ever, I’ll just have to hang on to the one I’ve got. I don’t want anything with a trunk, an SUV/CUV/SAV/whatever, a…
In the past, whenever I thought of V twins I immediately thought of HD, which meant that I figured that they all sounded terrible and were vibration-prone, crude and lumpy. Then I helped a friend buy a Suzuki Intruder and discovered that V twins could actually be smooth and pleasant. Personally, I would have no…
Yup. I was given mom’s old station wagon, and my sister got to choose her own first car as long as the value was the same as that of my old wagon. Skip ahead 30+ years and she just bought her 16 year old son a brand-new BMW X2. He’s going to have no sense of reality and what that first car truly represents, and for…
Then there’s people like my slacker 16 year old nephew who was given a brand-new BMW X2 as his first car, before he even had his license. Crashed it on the way home from the dealership making an illegal left turn and getting T-boned, with my sister in the passenger seat. Perhaps there are people that should wait…
One of my favorites thanks to THPS2.
I had one of these, a 1981. Beige on beige, no options. I bought it because it was the lightest water-cooled VW I could find. I worked at a dealer and we built up a crazy 2.1l motor and this thing was scaryfast. I surprised a lot of people and got into a lot of legal trouble with that beast.
I am thankful I didn’t grow up in an era of social media. Somewhere out there is an old, probably VHS, video of me doing about 115 in my Rabbit GTI for a student film back in high school.
