Thank goodness it didn’t get the same rear lamp treatment as the hardtop.

It’s like PYREX vs pyrex.

Not exactly. For one thing, the C7 Corvette and 991 and 992 911s have had 7-speed manuals for years.

Right. By fleeing the scene, he prevented his employer and/or law enforcement from determining if he was, say, under the influence of something.

That’s fair.

Basically someone who is like another mom in your life, but who isn’t related by blood.

Chances are it goes for over $10K.

The vast majority of these were.

My bonus mom has a 2006 STS-V, in almost the same color combo. Hers is silver with a grey interior. She’s had it since she purchased it CPO in 2010.

That’s pretty much what the Ineos Grenadier is.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. The Golf’s floor pan is already adapted for AWD with the R (which I just purchased a brand-new example of), so all the body components are there. A modern Golf Country would probably end up being a detuned, lifted and somewhat rugged-ified version of the Golf R.

My partner has a 1994 Isuzu Amigo of this generation, with a 5-speed.

That Trooper was rebadged more times than I can count, sold under Honda, various GM brands, Subaru, and even a Chinese co-op.

It was. The Viper was definitely a parts-bin special.

What is with all these photos of Elon jumping up and down in a too-short T-shirt. I am tired of seeing that repulsive man’s midriff all over the Internet.

My 2008 LS 600h L was cited as having a CVT. From what I can tell, it was entirely the ordinary longitude 8-speed used in the regular LS, just with a motor-generator and planetary gearset in place of the torque converter, that technically allowed for infinite ratios.

The price is about $3K too dear. These aren’t ridiculous, so I’d buy one for a lot less that needed a bit of work, and then do the work myself.

Right. I just spent dang near $50K on a VW Golf. It’s not a “people’s car.”

Technically, it’s a liftback, not a sedan. But that’s a benefit.

If you can find a leftover 2023 Volkswagen Arteon, I’m sure they’re discounting the hell out of them. They’ve got entirely the Golf R powertrain, but in a heavier, larger and more luxurious package.
