so you’ve seriously caused me to rethink my plan to sell my ‘15 passat TDI back and buy a late 90's M3. What is the best option then for a sub $10k luxury/sporty daily driver? Jaguar? I live in Florida so functional AC is almost as important as reliability.

I have that exact model fridge that you used in the picture. Makes a great kegerator!

Any mention of compensation for the extended warranty in a buyback situation? 2015 Passat bought in Colorado, by September I’ll be in the 30 to 35k miles range, but I opted for the extended factory warranty. 6 years or 125k miles. Also I’m no longer in Colorado. Can I sell it back in Florida?

This sounds exactly like the suits against gun manufacturers. If you support that, you have to support this.

Maybe I’m reading this wrong, but from what I can see on the graph deaths have been on a steady decline since 2004, suggesting that it took ten years for people to get used to driving faster and now we are safer than we were with 55/65 mph speed limits. You might be able to attribute some of that to safety features,…

At this point you should have headed to a laundromat, or goodwill.

Wasn't this same one up for sale last year? Or is this a different one?

This was it exactly for me, Lifestyle change. Every time I started to get tired of my "diet" I had to remind myself that it was a permanent change. It meant being sure to get beer, and pizza at least once a week, but probably only having one slice or maybe 1.5 instead of 4. I'm down 30 pounds and have maintained for…

Gracias, Saludos!

I understand their point of view, but worldwide if I say I'm American everyone knows what I mean. If I were to say I'm NorthAmerican, or Estadounidense, they'd just look at me funny, and then probably ask where/what that is. Typically I just tell people I'm a Gringo, it avoids the whole argument.

You know I often get into this dispute with my in laws, Mexican. They say you're not American because we are all Americans, ok, I say, so what am I? Oh you're Estadounidense "Unitedstatesian" for those who don't speak spanish. Funny I say the proper name for Mexico is "The United States of Mexico" Estados Unidos de…

so how is life with a duece and a half? do you drive it much? What do you use it for? Any regrets?

I always approached it from the ultimate camper platform perspective, but you might be right, a cheap capable truck is a good perspective. I think you would almost have to consider a re-gear, for highway capability, and AC as part of the cost, or at least for my wife it would be a requirement. An Airbag suspension…

If you want one, you definitely should. It is an extremely difficult vehicle to justify, believe me I've tried.

hahahaha

2nd for Bentley Continental, I've thought long and hard about how to make that work. 200 mile daily commute, comfort is important right? but in the end I drive a TDI

Man I was totally thinking a duece and a half. I'd love to have one of these, but I will never have the approval of the CFO. But a guy has to dream, right? Any variation will due, and you can pick up either a cheap one for $8k or so fix it up, a source of many fantastic stories, and then turn a profit, or simply buy a…

Frontier has also ordered a ton of them.
