Yup. My buddy had a hand-me-down 626 and in the summer it was a godsend.

The Honda Fit’s seats.

I can close all of the windows and sunroof in my GTI from outside the car.

We knew Franco was a skeezy dick, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent Rogen is a disgusting putz, too.

What’s funny is I use this all the time, and went out to make sure I described it correctly, and now it doesn’t work! You have to have the windows calibrated for one touch. Whenever my wife drives my car she somehow deactivates the driver’s side one touch...

My GTI has an auto wiper system, and it’s great. Turns on the headlights, too.

Except they’ll be like cupholders from 15 years ago - too small to hold the latest tech after another generation or so!

They work well for tails or lighting that has some sort of refracting reflector, though. Especially replacing bulbs that suck up a lot of wattage and have age-induced grounding issues.

Those Monster Mats are better than WeatherTech. Hands down.

Now, you can close all the windows on a VW from outside the vehicle just by holding the lock sensor on the driver’s door handle for 5 seconds. 

The ability to continually upgrade the entertainment and navigation systems.

I admit, I used the Rewind button a LOT when replaying these classic shooters in RetroArch. Honestly, I never finished 90% of them back in the 80s, so it’s fun to just play through the game to the finish, even if I’m “cheating.”

I once drove a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder from Little Rock to Raleigh, non-stop except for gas/bathroom/food stops. I’d just bought it from a friend who’d just “had some work done” and I was in a hurry to get on the road, so I didn’t bother inspecting the tires beyond confirming they had decent tread life remaining. I…

I have zero doubt that man is now dead. Maybe not from this incident, but something similarly or likely even more stupid.

My first thought was, “Oh shit, that’s my wife.”

Yeah, so did I. Got a much better rate plus major incentives for a ridiculous term, then paid off the entire note in less than 24 months. But it’s still a nasty thought.

Before long we’re going to hear stories about people who were refused a sale because they wouldn’t agree to insane financing terms.

Yeah, I mean if I didn’t need the back seat for my kids, I’d have cross-shopped the BRZ/86 with the GTI I actually bought. Affordable drivers cars - there aren’t many left, and we know what they are.

Sweet Emotion is one of the sickest grooves of the 1970s (does NOT beat Just Got Paid by ZZ Top, but it’s up there). But all of the dudes in that photo look like leftovers from Madame Tussaud’s Beaverton, Oregon test kitchen.

If you’re too young to remember...
