Is it “regulatory incentive” or is it “regulatory impetus”? How much does the relative size and difficulty of crash test certifying these subcompacts - particularly against all the SUVs and crossovers - come into the decision process for cancelling these small cars?

Especially the bikes. I know plenty of kids who raced cars starting at a younger age than I was comfortable with, and they all made out just fine.

Made a difference to his family.

I wrote some of those horror stories. That being said the ALH was a good engine, and a VAG-COM paid for itself quickly.

Get yourself a VAG-COM and Rolf’s your uncle. We had concurrent 2003 Golf and Jetta TDIs of this vintage. I first sold the Golf because the two cars had about the same mileage on them, so if something failed or a scheduled maintenance came up on one, it was only a matter of time before it did on the other. We sold the…

True, except there is a demo in the States where Radiohead is like their Beatles or something. My nephew is clearly in that group as are many/most/all of the authors here, and that group is Millennial in nature.

He and his wife, who’ve both since passed, were legends around Road America and the Skip Barber world.

He didn’t die in the crash. He died weeks later because of a bad blood transfusion. 

Is Radiohead a Millennial thing? Because they’ve apparently had a career, but all I know of them is the aforementioned Creep.

Duck’s personality went along with his name. 

My nephew had one of these a few years ago, and I got to drive it before he wrecked it. If you hate the sight lines in modern cars, you should love the Lumina. The belt line is so low and the pillars so thin, you can see everything.

They don’t defy logic if you’ve ever driven a race car with a sequential gearbox, but not paddles.

Same here. We were waiting for our turn-in appointment and were shopping for a replacement. I’m not sure it slowed down much, but around here the Subaru dealers are printing money. Want to think about it? The car you just test drove just sold. Next!

Sounds like the Subaru dealer experience we had a few years back. I had just finished working for the local VW/Audi/Porsche dealer, so I was well aware of how many cars they were moving, probably without trying all that hard. We got the test drive, but they never even followed up with us. We ended up with a MAZDA6 for…

A manual convertible for $50 USD? Nice Price all the way, eh?

Verstappen has made a career of chopping other drivers, expecting them to yield. This time the other driver didn’t yield.

You’re not buying this for “capabilities”, you’re buying this because you want a really clean Vanagon. 

The price is optimistic, but not completely out of line for these.

Verstappen has made a career out of playing chicken. This time he lost.
