I work at a dealership. I can almost guarantee that the service advisor knew exactly what was going on, and was just pissed off because they didn’t want to deal with this bullshit. They like when things go smoothly. They’re temperamental creatures.

Funny thing about design that you just pointed out: Sometimes, things are designed to look unattractive and clumsy in order to impart a no-nonsense, value-added feel to the product. Yes, things are designed to look cheap, believe it or not. Considering these vehicles are expensive, the idea is probably to make the…

I know one that has a Jaguar XF-R.

I dunno. I think OP might have had a valid point. Regardless of that, though, at the end of the day, we’re talking about a guy who’s going against Steve Saleen, a man who has proven to be a resilient entrepreneur in the past. Honestly, I’d sacrifice my position on the internet soapbox if it prevented me from entering…

Ok so everyone says VWs are unreliable. I shall let you be the judge of that. My car is a 2003 Jetta with one of them complex VR6 engines and 240,000km on the clock.

I need new wheels and tires, I know that for sure. Probably my first priority, because my current wheels are warped and causing vibration. I’m thinking…

Most of this blog is the same stuff repeated over and over again. The authors have their niches and they reap them hard. Some are better than others. I like these articles more than most of Torchinsky’s stuff. At least this isn’t an article about a glowing orb of energy.

What you’re talking about is totally different from what I’m talking about. Race cars may have light steering, but that is typically speed-variable and also a direct result of physics acting on the front wheels. This is not the case for many of the current crop of passenger vehicles, whose steering systems are…

So what you’re saying is that the point of a car with light steering is not to drive spiritedly, and if I don’t have fun driving like a commuter, I’m doing it wrong?

That’s like saying “yeah, steaks are good, but if you don’t appreciate a good bowl of oatmeal, you’re doing it wrong.”

I have not encountered a midsize sedan without ultralight steering. That sort of removes all pretense of “fun” in my opinion.

We’ve all seen the top rated comments. Why does someone have to win an internet award?

Well considering my car uses the exact same system of drains, it causes me concern. I just choose to not be a total asshole about it like you do.

Haha I had a Passat guy at my dealership with the same problem the other day. He was not happy.

That’s the thing, though - the phrase is so ubiquitous that it would be the first thing to spring to mind for a good chunk of the North American population

That phrase has probably been around longer than you’ve been alive. Just saying.

What if they just built an empty hangar, because they know people like us (and also “the terrorists”) will see the satellite images and think America has some crazy new weaponry?

They used Forza 2 models? Can I get a link to pics of that? I can’t find anything on Google.

I lost my virginity in the back seat of a 2-door Sunfire. Space doesn’t seem to be a factor when you’re horny...

This comment will be buried by this point, but when I was in high school, I was booked by the police countless times having underage sex in school parking lots. Like, more than 3 times. I’m very lucky I was under 18, or I’d probably be on multiple watch lists...

Gotta be honest, I drove one of these about 6 years ago, and back then, it was sloppier than a gypsy’s asshole from a handling standpoint. Not to mention, the interior did not age well and was quite plasticky. Maybe the example I drove was an exception, but it really soured me on this entire platform.
