Compared to playing pacman on actual city grids this is pretty lame. Google set the bar much higher for themselves.

Bought a ‘15 TDI new off the lot in late ‘14. Wife needed a new car that was: manual trans, small, fuel efficient, comfortable, and stylish.. in that order. MKVII Golf fit the bill to a tee. From the first test drive (that torque! that handling!) to a few months later when the valet kids fought over who got to take it

R17 tires on 18 inch wheels. Nice.

If traction control on a Huracan is at all defeatable, you know this tool had it off.

I had the 4cyl MX6. Fun little junior executive coupe. Could have used more power.

You’re “torn” about this? Are you also “torn” about puppies, rainbows, and all other good things in the world? Who the... writing for... “torn”... wtf.

Rolla also has a big engineering school

No mention of the fact that he heads off the way he came (and no time marker for the video, don’t have 15min to spare to find it to see if he comes back around)
(but I do have 30 seconds to whine here)

Glowplugs work. Just make sure you have anti-gel in your fuel.

I always thought the Mustang’s were a little obvious.

I can’t be the only one who’s convinced that that is 20 year old cling film on the display, and I’m triggered that no one has peeled it off yet.

Framing this one.
