Right. Though for the life of me I can’t figure out why you’d go through all of this heartache instead of just buying a Golf R for 4K off sticker.

Goddamnit yes. This. If there’s any doubt that the NRA is a racist hate troll organization aimed at paunchy middle aged white guys like my uncle, their reaction to the Castile shooting should wipe it away.

Ah, interesting. That’s out this year?

248 miles measured by what standard? My guess is that it will be less than that using the EPA standard; EU range standards are even more optimistic than the EPAs.

Well played. Also ew.

I mean, it’s not my cup of meat. But I doubt you’ll find another like it in this condition. Malaise era cars are probably never going to be properly collectible (911s aside), but this is a legitimately gorgeous example of a historically interesting car. The USGP trim is icing on the cake.

It has four cams total. I always appreciated and was slightly mystified by GMs pedantry in naming this engine. I imagine a GM engineer raising his hand at every meeting and saying “but, guy’s, it’s not just a dual overhead cam. It has two sets of dual overhead cams.”

I can’t really defend my NP vote, except to say that while this was a dead end branch on the automotive tree, at least it was an interesting branch.

In that it allowed them to bang on the starter quicker, yes.

Fair and balanced take.

Ouch.

What happened to the first edition?

Like the 1000 hp Demon.

Maybe someone can slip that juror something to make him more cooperative?

But since this is probably going to be gouged and the Golf R is now being discounted to about this price, which wins out?

I love this song. Vision Thing is such an underrated album. For any other band, it would be top of the pile.

$2200?? I have zero interest in old Jeeps but for that price *I* want to buy it.

Yes, this.

What about A2 GTI seats? I loved those back in the day, and they have the virtue of proper parentage.
