Dammit. They’re gonna suck me in (again) with another stupidly cheap lease on this, aren’t they? The ATS is on the small side but it does work...

So color me confused, I thought this was coming in smaller than the ATS, but it looks really close. Are specs available for comparison yet?

The basket weaves are totally played on many vehicles, and wheel (and stance) snobbery when I was heavily into VWs was really, really poisonous to the community; which is why I posted with that caveat... There are few authentic combinations which are just right, you know? I’d agree with you too, and would add Ronal…

“Friend” from “Minnesota.” Riiiiight...

Sorry. I hate to be that guy. But... needs BBS wheels man. NEEDS them to be complete. NEEDS. Nice work and great write up!

That’s a heck of a lot better than the iPad we got with our first ATS...

COTD

He made it work with Randy Moss, didn’t he?

Europe is a lot smaller than the US. The reality is they don’t need to drive nearly as far in most use cases. Here? You can go the max range of a Tesla in one direction and not get anywhere, in many states.

Have you actually read any Clancy novels? This isn’t anywhere close to the most ludicrous scenarios he put to paper... and he telegraphed how to take out the top tier of the US government with a suicidal airline pilot...

I want to mod it so that the cockpit pivots with the wings... Looks doable, but if I sit down with it my kid is gonna go nuts...

Niiiiice... The only Ultimate Collectors model I have is Slave 1.

Safe to say this dude actually gains fulfillment from an honest day’s work. 

Neutral: Not again, most likely (but I’ll probably lose this argument with my wife...). I’ve loved the ATS (on my 3rd) but the new alphabet 4 is too small, the 5 is ugly, and the pricing is nuts compared to the quality of the competition. I’m really happy with our XT5, too, but moving up to the XT6 is a hard sell with…

I’m sure there have been situations before in which I’ve wanted to see marketing people tarred and feathered, but there’s a special place in hell for the one unable to come up with an electrical synonym for Turbo. 

Our GSD is 4 years old now, professionally trained for off leash obedience, and I have never experienced interacting with an animal that is happiest when doing what is asked of it. Give her something to do, and she’s always eager and understands. I had a dog growing up (husky mutt), been around em all my life, but the…

This.
I’m getting all sorts of mailers now since my lease is ending in 6 months from competing dealerships (and some in the same family as my home one, lol!). I can lease a Ram with a 50k sticker for $150 a month (I get the family discount stuff). They want $450 for a wrangler unlimited with a 45k sticker price.
FCA…

I was also a Rogue... are you me? am I you? did we just become best friends? :P

I dabbled in Cata for kicks but the cataclysm overhaul bummed me out, I spent a lot of time in the old world on alts, twinks, etc.

Yup. By the time Trial of the Crusader rolled around the Drift was like the #2 Alliance guild raiding, lost a few key players (like the Holy Paladin for whom we had farmed Ulduar for that legendary) and that was that... was sad. I faction transferred to Horde for Icecrown Citadel, Shining Force. I think we full…

Mal’Ganis was my WoW home as well. Was with The Drift Alliance side when WotLK dropped...
