The “trail” versions of the Honda with the dual exhaust running along the side were perfect for scalding your passengers legs. The heat shield did exactly nothing.

Electric cars. Expensive, inconvenient, impractical and many years from being viable. I’m tired of reading about them.

Wasn’t that an Adam Sandler movie?

Plus, they are basically a square footprint, which allows “creative” parking (facing buildings vs. parallel parking, on side walks, etc.) in crowded Italian cities.

Now this is Buick worth defending.

This is another reason (government regulation) that self-driving cars are many years away. Throw in the lawsuits for crashes and the road improvements needed (clean lines on every road in the world...) and you’re looking at a decade or more.

Yes. Most owners of these drive them hard. Walk away.

I had a 2014 GTI that I drove 2 states away to buy because it had leather seats, not the hideous plaid that GTIs are famous for.

Those fold out rear seats are for drive-in movies. This is an upscale version of the pickup truck and lawn chairs in the rear bed that we used to use.

Lol, what would the 528e have been, then?

“Lies” is such a harsh word. Let’s call them “exaggerations.” Mine usually are about how much of a good deal I got.

Unlike most of the others, this is one application of electric vehicles that makes total sense right now.

“Worry-free” and “Audi” (used) do not belong in the same sentence.

1st Gear:

He looks like a gay priest and his date looks like a vampire.

Actually, the average time spent refueling cars with gas is 9 minutes. Americans are not ready for 30+ minute electric recharge times, especially if there’s only one unit and someone else is charging ahead of you. I think jostling for a charging unit, or waiting while some jackass wanders off with his car in the…

Mid-Ohio is a fantastic facility, for both driving (I’ve done lots of track days there) and spectating. It’s a nice place with rolling hills and grass, it’s technical but has places you can pass and a very fast back straight that will test your nerve going into the braking zone before turn 4.

This is obviously a Craigslist transaction. The guy (the seller, who lives in the castle) is showing her (the buyer) the service records she asked to see and he’s trying to explain why it is 18 pages long but the car is only 1 year old.

If I had to work North Dakota routes in a tiny plane, I’d be drunk too.
