It’s just absolutely irresponsible! When I drive, it’s phone away, no distractions. I just bought a motorcycle and I’m worried about getting absolutely splattered across the tarmac. 

I won’t even ride on the street unless it’s my rocket bike because it’s very noticeable and it makes people laugh. If you make people laugh, they don’t want to kill you (like they do when I’m riding the almost cruelly ironically named road bike, which is the last bike I ride on the actual road due to it attracting the…

I ride motorcycles, which also provides a great opportunity to see what people are doing in their cars, and it’s similarly horrifying. Back when I was commuting, I saw plenty of people doing crazy things, including a guy who had some presentation printout he was reviewing propped up on his steering wheel, and was…

I love driving and have several cars, but I also bike around my city a fair amount. I am not exaggerating when I say that over half of the time I bike by a car or look through a window to try to make eye contact or make sure the driver sees me in the bike lane, the person is looking down at their phone. I am terrified…

Those are the Audi “Flat Fives”, and are pretty hard to find. I found them on CL for $400 for all 4 (didn’t ask where they came from, other than an A8). They were powder coated black and needed to be redone, but they were well worth it. I had each completely refinished in their original color.

I live in Washington DC and I jumped on some larger lower-profile wheels (going from 17 to 18) someone was selling off an A8 for my A3. I’ve cracked one rim thanks to a pothole helpfully obscured by the darkness at the entrance to a tunnel, and parallel parking close to the curb is always an exercise in precision and…

I love Gasly and think he’s one of the most consistent drivers on the grid. He seems to have the drive and (crazily enough), I think his young fire could also help push Hamilton, who always seems to lose his drive when he’s not in first.

what wheels are those? i love the chonk 5 spokes 

Props for the diagram - I reckon you’re probably right on this one, now that I think about it. I do still think that for someone that has no other option for mobility, it could be a good deal, as long as they understand the inherent issues.

For winters I slap my stock wheels with Blizzaks on and it’s an all weather dream machine. I’ve done everything from ikea runs to Home Depot excursions in it. More than enough room, and with the APR II tune you’ve got 300hp (the correct amount) and you’ll need to watch your foot or you’ll soon be cresting 100 on the…

Right on the Audi, but wrong model. Go A3! I did, with some mods. Spent $9k on the car and about $7k fixing it up and modifying it. It drives like a brand new car now.

While I agree with most of what you’ve said, there definitely have been compromises made in the structure of this vehicle. High strength steel has been removed and unless they crash-tested these after conversion (they didnt), there’s no way its going to survive a crash as well as it would have prior to the mods. The…

Mobility-specific cars are VERY expensive usually, and they’re generally shitty BraunAbility minivans. This is a killer deal for a car purpose built for those that have mobility issues.

I wish The Drive would just buy Jalopnik out already. Can you imagine? A mix of the commenters here (some of the best on the internet, short of Reddit), the off the wall articles that Torch writes, NPoND, and then all the in-depth car review stuff on The Drive, alongside the fantastic military stuff. I’d DEFINITELY…

BINGO! Knew something was up with this. Not disclosing something like that when you’re selling a car is SUPER shitty, and I believe illegal in some states? I’m not sure on that last point, but regardless, absolute CP. Stay away.

According the the CARFAX, it was in a front end collision a while back, with airbag deployment. This is a huge ND.

I smell something fishy here. A grenaded transmission perhaps? Some kind of VIN number chicanery? Something is not right here.

Not too mention, what a waste of time. Sure, you could have used that time to make the only manual (insert any auto-only car here) in the States, but instead this thing.

But in black? You’d have to search for at least three minutes!

Yes, and are extremely common. Not like it’s impossible to find so you’d have to settle for a swapped car (which should sell at a discount because it’s not a factory manual...but I guess not in this case, because the seller promises it was done perfectly!).
