17" wheels are the new 15" wheels.  If you want anything that isn’t a 40 year-old radial design or a drag tire, then you have to step up to 17" wheels nowadays.

My 2008 Silverado was affected by the recall. GM has been avoiding the duty to repair the vehicle by claiming that their Takata airbags are different from everyone else’s Takata airbags.
After four years of “no repair available,” I just ditched the truck for a new GTI.

I wouldn’t call it a bogus excuse to shift blame. Drive through a college town and you’ll see students cross streets without so much as a glance to check for cars.

This would be perfect to be redone in a real life commercial where the bike gradually accumulates clothes and other accessories throughout the year.

Not really, but keep up with your prejudices. 

**Cough**

You absolutely do count the Mustang and Camaro because they are direct competitors.

I dumped my Silverado for a GTI. The trucks have gotten too way too big and I wanted something with a manual transmission again. If Ford and GM just want to sell expensive trucks and SUVs, that’s fine. They’ll just be scratching their heads wondering where all the sales went once the banks won’t let their customer…

I’m intrigued by both this and the Volkswagen concept. Regular trucks have gotten too large and there isn’t anything for those of us who don’t look at payloads and towing capacities as a way of measuring dicks.

GM can eat a bag of dicks for never bringing the Ute over here.

You have to remember that shitty driver most likely has no muscle memory from operating a clutch, and that shitty driver also is just resting their foot on the brake.  Chances are good that person still uses their right foot to brake while their left foot is just hanging out on the pedal.

When I was 19, I was looking at getting a new car. I had it narrowed down to being between a Pontiac GTO and Subaru WRX STi. The Subaru salesman told me to come back with my mommy or daddy and he would let me take it around the parking lot. The Pontiac dealer tossed me the keys. So, I bought the GTO.

I’d rather just buy a clean Fiero with the L67 swap and save a bunch of loot. There are too many other vehicles in that $20-$25K price range to be had that aren’t hacked up replicas.

When you can get more value for your dollar in other vehicles at the same price point in the same niche category, it really shouldn’t be a surprise that they haven’t sold well.

So, your whole reasoning for dismantling the union is because you didn’t receive any formal training and had to pay for your boots one time in the 80s? Sound logic.

On paper, it may have worse forward visibility. In reality, it may not be that much of a hindrance.  No one will know how it affects them until they personally drive it. 

I wouldn’t really consider $37.5K to be “affordable.”  

Love my GTI Rabbit. I picked it up in August for under $26K. The thing is a blast to drive on the back roads and I average around 28 mpg. The LED headlights alone made the step above the S worth it.  Of course, only 3000 of the Rabbits were made in 2019.

Why would you spend $22K on an R with 89K miles when there are Rs with ~30K miles going for $30K?
Or just buy a brand new GTI for ~$24K.
