I’m pleased with my little car so far, but I’m pretty sure I would have made myself wait for the wagon if it was possible. Then I would get even more of the “so is she pregnant?” jokes.

If only the US got the R version of the wagon, too. That would have made finding my new purchase even more of a needle in a haystack.

It sounds like you’re a Ford guy, but... I loved my Colorado. I feel like it will be weird not having a truck, because I am also of the thought that a homeowner should have one and that’s a big part of the reason why I bought it in the first place.

Bingo. I mean, I can kind of relate and agree with some of that sentiment, that’s why I bought the truck I did. A manual transmission, 4cyl, 2wd Colorado. Friends questioned me, because why would I buy a truck that “can’t do truck things?” Nevermind the fact that the >1400lb payload rating is more than I need. Having…

Before Newton wrote the Law of Gravity, people could fly. It’s true, look it up.

You read it on the internet, though. So it must be true.

Assuming that only one person is working on the vehicle at any time, which is probably not correct. The difference is probably still under $1000 on average. There are a lot of UAW and CAW jobs that pay a lot more than $16/hr.

And the Golf R is made in Germany. They have a lot of plants worldwide.

Today I also learned, even though none of my vehicles are from south of the border. It makes it even stranger to think that sometimes the same model line (I’m thinking GM full-size in the past, not sure of current) would be built in the US, Canada, and Mexico... and all have the same sticker price. The profit on two…

But they’re kind of required to do it... See Dodge vs Ford Motor Company,

In regards to a lot of the thoughts on 1st Gear...

Quick thought Re: the promise of “smoother shifts” mean more clutch-pack slip

Hear ye, hear ye.
