My first car was a used MkIV GTI and I loved it. Just enough speed to get you in trouble (thank you, Virginia State Troopers, for the speeding tickets), but not enough to really be dangerous. Loads of space, relatively economical. Loved it so much I bought an MkV when I graduated college.

I’m headed to Myanmar for a month soon! I’ll keep my eye out for these and snap some photos. I can share them and other interesting car photos with you if you’d like.

You’re assuming the brain of said no-helmet rider is something worth protecting. Maybe this is just natural selection at work. Like someone once said, take the warning labels off everything and let the whole thing just sort itself out.

That’s not a car culture, that’s car purgatory.

Maybe I’m missing something, but why are the seats clad in different materials/patterns? Is this some new trend? Is it supposed to be in line with weird half dash? Is asymmetrical car design back?

I’ve spent a not insignificant amount of time trying to figure out how to get my CarPlay stereo to play eurobeat automatically after I go over 65.

I just bought a 2010 manual Audi A3 wagon and love it! A bit smaller than the A4, but the same look. Came with the right wheels and after adding an RS3 grill, looks fantastic. Actually emailed you about an RS6 (thanks for steering me away), and ended up with this. Put 1,000 miles on it so far and it’s running

I just bought an A3 manual wagon and absolutely love it. They’re so hard to find clean/with low mileage. Initiated a coast wide search for it and am so happy with. 

Should’ve sent your Cherokee in.

It’s not really little on the middle...nor does it have much back, so far as I can tell. Maybe it’s got it going like a turbo ‘vette?

Real question, not being facetious. I honestly don’t understand what skill or driving talent is involved in drag racing. Is there anything to it other than seeing who has the better reaction time and better car?

I definitely got some late night commuter parking lot action in the red plush seats in the back of my 93 LeSabre in high school. The land yacht was fantastic for that. Back seats as big as a twin bed!

This is so goddamn stupid. I have a Cervelo S5 that can go as fast as most cars in my city at speed limit and it was only $8000. And it’s ALL carbon fiber. And German gears.

Have you seen the X5 they’ve...reverse engineered?

Can you imagine the back up this cop created by pulling this guy over? Especially on the left (probably not the cops fault he pulled over on the left, but still). There were probably far worse rubber necking delays because the cop couldn’t let it go and had to pull the guy over just because he made an asshat lane

This is an A+ troll for a Monday morning.

Wow! So much hate towards cyclist in these posts. Just think though, for a second, that people like me and other cyclists that bike to work in the morning each eliminate a 10 foot long slab of metal taking up space on the roadway. Just think for a second how much worse traffic would be in DC if all the cyclists

Can we take a moment to appreciate the Jalop-ness of their holy union? A Focus ST AND a 1990 Miata? I think there’s only one thing that can complete the holy trinity: a brown station wagon. Specifically, a new Volvo V90. Rumored start price at $50,000. Loaded at $65,000. Go forth and jalop.

Lambo is clearly the way to go.
