I used to hate selling cars with ADM’s. At least at the dealers I worked at, it was pure profit for the dealer and not counted towards gross commission for the salesperson. 

Honestly those labor rates seem pretty fair.

That’s why masks are required on planes, because social distancing isn’t practical. Also, most airlines are leaving a empty seat in between passengers. Lower capacity on the plane leads to less people in the terminals.

My Audi (MY19) does not have regular cruise control.

I think this is a good example of the elephant in the room when it comes to autonomous vehicles; humans.

Cup 2's don’t have much tread on them to begin with. Its a road legal racing tire. If you drove them on the street for their entire lifespan you’d probably be lucky to get 5 thousand miles out of them.

Paying interest on a rapidly depreciating asset is a bad idea no matter how low the interest rate is. If a car can financially break you in any way shape or form then you’re car poor and need to buy a cheaper car. It’s not rocket science.

That drivers seat looks pretty worn for 30k miles. For 60k I’m putting my cheeks in the well appointed drivers seat of a gently used GLC 63.

Mk6 GLI owner here. The early gen 1 EA888's had failure prone timing chain tensioners. There was a class action settlement and VW ponied up to repay customers who had issues, but the time to claim has come and gone. I would put that high on the list of reasons for the engine replacement.

GTI is the correct answer. I was in a similar situation ~8 years ago and went from a STI SE to an Autobahn GTI with the DSG. The GTI really has very few compromises.

I really hope this is just a sad attempt at a troll post to get clicks. Otherwise...wow.

You know, I was just thinking that I wish I could get a EV CUV with decent looks and a parts bin interior. Would be even better if there was a non existent charging network for it. Cadillac will surely fill that void for me.

I’ve owned two STI’s and the RS. I’m well aware of AWD donuts, and scared the life out of my “instructor” at the RS adrenaline academy when I was a little too good at doing them. It doesn’t make the RS a good daily, or a good car for that matter. It’s a very exciting, deeply flawed thing.  

It’s almost like Toyota want’s to make money or something.

Unless you’re driving the car at 95%+ of it’s capabilities at all times, the Golf R is a much better option. The RS is great on the track, but that’s about it.

Yes they did. I’m 5' 10", 145 lbs and I found them overly snug.

For good reason, they are miserable to own. Mine was in the shop over a dozen times in the two years I owned it. Also good luck fitting in the seats if you’re shaped like a normal human. Happiest day of my life was the day I sold it.

Tax isn’t required on private auto sales in Arizona. Although, most sellers seem to jack their prices up accordingly and remind you that it’s a tax free sale.

At least the X5M has a nice interior, a German badge and whatever whiff of racing pedigree is left with M. Yours friends will want to throw you in the loony bin when they find out you paid 90K for a Jeep.

Want is fine, but why? I guess what I’m saying is you could buy a nicely equipped v6 GC AND a car that is better for the track (Focus RS/STI, etc.) or the strip (Mustang GT, etc.). You can shove a 700 hp motor in aGC, but at the end of the day its still a 2.5 ton boat that’s only good at stroking your ego.
