Some manufacturers definitely do it better than others. My company car (Equinox) does it fine. Little 4 cylinder. My Range Rover is ok (big supercharged V6). My old Audi S6 (TTV8) with an aftermarket exhaust was definitely more noticeable and annoying. But there is no reason to have your car running while stopped at…

I have been one of the people that consistently defends the tacked on iPad look because it allows the manufacturers to mount the screen higher, where it is safer and it also ends up being blocking less forward sight lines than if you try to integrate it into the dash (now you have to screen up high AND a bunch of…

TLDR: they are still ugly.

You are endangering your self and other drivers of that is how you overtake another vehicle. If hope I don’t ever encounter you on the road. 

Dude - just no. In NO world do you pass another car on a two lane road and take your time. My father is 81 years old. He has never been stopped by the police. He was a truck driver/family trucking company owner. He is the epitome of a good cautious driver. He told me when I was learning to drive that if I ever needed…

Channeling some Seinfeld here, are we? I guess he is a car nut so we can rip off his bit for a column. 

Reminds me a little of the old Audi B4 Gen S4 pearl white paint.

German/irish. But yeah you are kind of Italian by default growing up in north Jersey (think Sunday pasta meals) and I did grow up in the same town as a couple of mafia capo brothers and their kids.

Sport Classic would mean pepita inserts. 

I live in the NYC area. In my drive to work each day I first pass Global Shipping Terminal in Bayonne, then Newark Airport and Port Newark at the same time, as well as several rail yards connecting all of these. Trust me, we are using trains, planes, boats, and trucks to move product and if one type of transportation…

I’ll bet my paycheck it was filed in Amarillo so that it is guaranteed to land on the desk of Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk. Yes the guy who says migrants must remain in Mexico, reinstated a naval sailor who refused to mask up on his submarine essentially taking the powers of commander in chief from the President, suspended…

Damn you 

I would never step foot on one of those behemoths but if you want to enjoy a Med cruise grab a few friends and rent one of these traditional Turkish gulet for a trip along the coast. It is beautiful, you can see amazing historical sights in tiny little towns (ie the resting place of Saint Nicholas yes the actual Santa…

I got 26mpg highway with my 4.0 TTV8 S6 with cylinder deactivation. I used to get 27mpg woth my old A8L and the NA 4.2L V8. Even with a light foot downsizing and turbocharging rarely deliver prosed efficiency. 

$91k is a lot. I had a C7 S6 Prestige and I can’t quite remember the price but I am pretty sure it was about $75k. It had a TTV8, I put a Milltek exhaust on it and it sounded glorious. It could also be chipped for a ton more HP and torque for little money. This V6 is already maxed out and sounds like shit. 

Which explains why Chris Christie not signing onto the new rail tunnel a decade ago was such a blunder. As the article mentions the rail tunnels under the Hudson are a choke point for the entire Northeast economy. After Christie, we had the steaming pile of baby poo Trump in office for 4 years refusing to finance the…

Sympathy from a fellow 981 owner. My first was an S from MN so the door card was fine. Now have a GT4 and the full leather means that part is leather not exposed plastic so I think I am good now. But yeah, that absolutely should have been a recall. 

True but that’s $180k of car sitting there possibly with a loan on it. If it was a used one, then I would say it’s the owner of the dealership driving it every now and then for fun while having it sit on sale. Bit for a new car to sit is a terrible financial decision for a dealer.

I really hope this was sarcastic.
