It looks nice, but man, Audi went with a real brick of a gear selector didn’t they? Reminds me of the mk5 vw jetta shifters. Like seriously, who let that get into the cabin?

You’re not alone. I play FH3 currently and it’s certainly losing some of it’s charm. Now i pick oddball cars and build them out until they’re entertaining, but i imagine in the long run i’ll go back to FM6 and Dirt:rally for the more competitive stuff.

Well, every excuse any enthusiast could ever muster is now null and void. Guess that means i better start saving my pennies if i ever want to ride the ‘ring.

Ha! Some of this definitely rings true to my experiences this past summer driving in the UK. Although, i also have to say, i enjoyed it much more than most driving in the US. Even the roundabouts start to make sense after a few days of them. I appreciated the general understanding of people not sitting in the passing…

Power move: Buy porsche boxter and swap out runny yolk headlights for the lintronic headlight upgrade.

Wow! love the interior and quilt-work stitching. Shame on the no hatch for NA, but they really nailed the aggressive yet refined interior styling bits.

I suspect navy doesn’t have as big of an issue with this since most of their stuff is still on legacy chromated corrosion coatings. AF is pushing for non-chrome systems.

I would guess it has to do with recent changes in the coatings world. Most of the AF fleet is going non-chrome corrosion inhibiting primers where they can and i would suspect that this is a by-product of losing the chrome inhibitor. A second potential issue is the use of waterborne versus solvent-borne which can…

Yeah but then you get the price of titanium and the induced galvanic corrosion that’s even more of a pain in the ass. Producing a better coating is a more cost effective solution than reskinning an entire fleet of aircraft. As a taxpayer, you don’t want titanium.

2dr 15 S w/ DSG. base as base gets. Because i wanted the plaid and had the loyalty discount from vw shortly after the dieselgate break (and soon to be additional cash for selling then).

Makes me that much happier i picked up my 2dr mk7 when i did. Especially for a car that looks so good with the long 2 door options.

Totally know the feeling. Girlfriend and family are British immigrants and have a certain fondness for all things Britannia. But again, the beeb has to figure it out sooner rather than later.

This. If networks don’t understand that people will legally pay for their content instead of illegally streaming it (however necessary, torrent, iplayer workaround, etc) in the year 2016 then their whole marketing/sales department should be sacked.

I suspect because those in the know about c/f know the epoxy resin in most c/f isn’t too keen to see prolonged UV exposure and that the color would inevitably shift when the epoxy yellows.

If we can automate the ship as DARPA has done, don’t you think we can automate some ship defense as well? I wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a multipronged of drone ship escorted by UAVs or similar.

Wouldn’t a more fair comparison be modified/DPF deleted TDIs? But short answer, guessing from tdiclub.com not that many.

Traded my 2010 jetta tdi back in october while they were adding cash on top of trade-in’s (after resale tanked, obv).

And now i’m going to go into my daily driver and plot the demise of the still relatively new carpet. So thanks.

Adding lightness to all the things.

Came to see all the Kanye haters. Was not disappointed. Different strokes, y’all.
