I think the distinction needs to be reinforced between a true dual-clutch automated gearbox and a "tiptronic" which is an automatic that lets you give it suggestions.

I usually start out by making a list of all the things I need to accomplish before I start playing. Then I start playing anyway. After 5 or 6 hours after my eyes start to bleed I stop playing, disoriented and having difficulty focusing, and out of guilt for my lack of self-control I get the first 1 or 2 things done…

@nutbastard: That is in fact "how they do." They're skinny to let the car sink down and find something to grab on to. If you drive on snow in fat performance tires the weight is spread out too evenly and you just float on top.

In addition to being skin-crawlingly British, This article is pure circumstantial evidence.

Crack pipe.

@SBP1: No, if he had just complained he'd be a rational human being. Tracking down someone from the internet is psycho behavior.

Here's some rude internet anonymity for you: You're a tool. Welcome to the internet, people say mean things. Way to be a baby about it by bringing it IRL.

From this angle the shift pattern looks disturbingly linear...

Comparing an innovative sandbox game where the only boundaries are your imagination with a browser based social networking game that strongarms you into micro payments and recruitment? Makes total sense... #dismissivewankingmotion

@destryer: Don't be ridiculous. That could never happen.

Holy EMF, Batman!

@slyman928: Unfortunately they haven't contained Nitrous for years, they are now basically just freon. So you huff freon and it makes you disoriented and disassociated, which some people consider fun.

I just needed to clarify for all of the dummies who keeps saying that you're going to drink shards of glass: the chance of getting a shard of glass into the champaigne is ZERO. You're not shattering the bottle, you're separating the lip. It breaks clean and flies off.

Let's do some penis algebra:

Ridiculous engine swaps are like the musical trend of "mash-ups"... usually unnecessary, but if done appropriately can be fun.

I do not understand this car's existence. so it's based on the A5, which was based on the A4... So it's a 4 door version of a 2 door version of a 4 door? it's like Inception, and this car is the snow level. When they make a 2 door A7 Audi will be in limbo.

@OhNoEzanEscalade!!!11!: They wanted to release the S5 asap so they used the last generation's V8, then they waited for the V6T to be ready to release the S4.

@Jonn: That's the point when virtual reality becomes too much like my regular reality.
