This is amazing! I talked to the new owner of this car just yesterday outside of Harbor Freight Tools here in Indy. He’s French and his mother always drove one so he thought he’d buy one for old times sake. Its really clean, originally red but repainted white. Denim interior looks perfect if not a bit American. Sweet

Congrats Alex! Good to see you here!

Pics like this give me Half-Life 2 flashbacks.

With modern quadcopter electronics this would be totally doable today. Probably still not a good idea but doable.

It’s $kaycogs phone number!

We have a saying on the Vortex. “I used to keep my receipts, now I hide them.”

Last I checked it was a GT42.5

I’ll never forget driving one and that exhilarating feel of the reduced-throttle oversteer. I think I still have those stained shorts somewhere.

If they software simply invokes ‘test” mode when the front wheels aren’t turning then why not mandate that all TDI owners only drive using the rear wheels? That’s not unreasonable is it?

Can’t.Star.This.Enough!

You know, as a software developer I completely understand how a rogue coder or two could have put this in and not told anyone and probably someone got a bonus for their wonderful fuel-sipping, clean and powerful diesel engine. Million lines of code no one is going to question because it’s working, no bugs here!

It’s there because it loves you, and wants you to have the time of your life.

I threw a rod in my riding mower. Nice hole. 12hp engine trashed.

I’m an electrical engineer so it’s all good.

The whole thing monitors the house’s power usage, regulates our baseboard heaters, logs everything and has a web interface where I can monitor everything from a web browser. You’d be amazed how cheap it was to build as well! Here’s my house now..

He does have a bushy beard....

This is my son’s desk. He’s automating my house.

Dude needed a blank to put a mixtape on.

At first I thought that was in MPH and mere thought of doing 120mph in a 2CV turned me ashen white.
