The Charger has tremendous go-fast potential.  I just saw a factory-looking example rip an 11.8 quarter, that’s damned good.

The first car I ever bought was a 1988 Plymouth Horizon in 1995 for $1,200 wiht 93k on it. It was the first year with the TBI-2.2L (carbed prior) with 93 hp. for what it was, and at that price (even with the bashed in rear door), it was one of the most functional cars I’ve ever had. Took me all over the US and Canada…

This is the one you want

You only get 10-15deg turn of that wheel before it starts digging into your legs.  That’s not mid-corner.

You generally downshift in more or less a straight line. If for some reason you don’t, it’s not worse than a regular wheel.

I don’t care if I what it is, if it’s not yours, don’t touch it without asking (and receiving permission). It doesn’t matter if it’s an un-damagable brick of adamantium.  Not yours, don’t touch.

Mine is 17 years old, covered in scratches from the previous owner and the rockers are rusting away. But I still wax it to make the best I can of it, and the new swipe/scratch I noticed still pissed me off because the principle of respect doesn’t change with the value of a good. Is it okay to tear up a homeless man’s s…

There’s so much right with this take. This is why I stopped doing cars and coffees. For every fascinating, easygoing and nice car person I’d run into I’d meet three idiots who’d touch my matte paint with their fingers (often coated in grease) and at least one person who’d lean back on the hood to pose for a selfie.…

I have an italian 60's classic convertible that I obtained through some lucky investments. It’s insured and I’m allowed to drive it on a limited mileage basis. Occasionally, I’ll take it out for a run to get coffee. On one occasion, I walked outside and this couple were taking pictures inside the car as I had left…

“If it’s not yours, don’t touch it” Every parent has said that to their dipshit 4 yr old (every 4 yr old is a dipshit - no your Timmy isn’t special, he’s a dipshit too). If it’s not yours don’t touch it, whether you’re 4yrs old and and trying to watch Roblox on Daddy’s computer - don’t touch the computer, or 44 yrs…

My preferred admiration and inspection method, I do it at at museums, stores, people’s homes.

Nobody cares

Anything put on my car in a parking lot instantly becomes mine. If you’d like me to give it to you, I will, at high velocity.

HOLY SHIT, THIS.

With you 100% on this one. Nothing worse than putting so much effort into something, only to have someone damage, scratch or otherwise defile that thing that you put so much time and care into.

Not entirely sure why this is controversial, she clearly explained why its poor form and the potential for actual damage, not just fingerprints. Do you guys all run around touching cars at events, especially concours? WHY do you even NEED to touch the cars? Crimini Crackmas!!!

We can still touch the owners though, right?

If you like the way it looks, great. Just don’t try to convince yourself it has any performance credentials. Especially in a car like the GTI.

But she doesn’t have a flat bottom.

Congrats on COTD Eddie Brannan!
