100K mk5-6's can be had for this kind of money. Way better chassis and none of of the electrical issues of mk4. And by that mileage, the hpfp & cam follower issues that the 2.0 TSI is known for have already been dealt with

Another top notch Jalopnik article. The only other thing that’s A+ is your ability to be a drama queen. My take: you thought this was going to be a easy follow-the-leader style press event but quickly realized it was an actual competition race and you were outclassed as an invitational driver in an amateur league.…

Crazy to hear all of this. I’ve been ordering from ECS off and on for the past 8 years. Only once did I have an issue with an item I ordered, way back in 2013 — customer service sent me a replacement with no questions asked. Didn’t even want the bad part back. My only complaint was that their parts & shipping prices…

Everyone seems to be focusing on the braking aspect. The real issue is the limitation that ‘autopilot’ can only see what is directly in front the vehicle — it can’t identify what’s in front of that vehicle nor determine that the vehicle is swerving because of a stationary object that ahead. All Tesla’s system can do…

Crack pipe because rotary. Flame on...

“Victims also skewed a bit older, and the popularity of Lexuses among older demographics could be a relationship there.”

No lie: I bought a Golf GTI over an R because I really liked the plaid seats. No regrets.

I had the pleasure of seeing an MC12 AND an MC12 Corsa in the same place. Not in the wild, per se, but at a car show. But still, quite a rarity to see nonetheless. It ought to be on every car enthusiasts car-sighting-bucket-list. It was most definitely more than just a re-badged Enzo.

These weren’t worth 9895 when they were new...C to the P

I like the concept, but the design proportions are all wrong. It looks squished and the headlights are huge. And FFS Honda, lose the f’king wing...

Had a car with a crunchy 2nd gear synchro when the trans was cold. Got in the habit of starting in 2nd in the morning with a bit of slip from a dead stop. 75000 miles later and the original clutch was holding fine, no bearing issues, trans was fine, etc. As long as you’re gentle and not dumping the clutch at high rpm,…

Just watched a random YouTube video of a guy taking an auto 2018 GT to the strip. Guy was a complete track virgin and his first pass was a 13.2

Aren’t these additional special colors a $3K option? Nice to have the choice but I doubt a lot of buyers will be ticking that box on an already pricey Golf R.

I recall a news story about 10 years ago regarding microphones that were inside of Comcast cable boxes that may or may not have been actively listening to the room they were installed in. The story was all about how people were outraged & concerned about a privacy, etc...that Comcast could be using the microphones to…

Shooting the shit with Glickenhaus about the P4/5 was a pretty cool experience.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Prime Auto ‘Deal Man’

Disappointing. Because I would absolutely buy a GTE if they sold them in the states...it’s the green car for ‘drivers’.

NP only because it has to be one of the few completely unmolested examples of an Integra. Not even a pepboys fart can! A true unicorn.

Sounds like it could be poor salesmanship and a dealer you shouldn’t purchase a 6-figure car from, but I feel like we’re only getting half of the story. How this person presented themselves in an important detail. Dealer’s get all kinds of joker’s showing up wasting their time...he goes to the dealer to ask oddball…

1980's club owner decides to bury a bomb full of items for 10000 years....definitely planned during a group coke binge.
