MoG's discussions

19, raised in NYC, go to college in another big city that also prevent cars for first-years. Job money goes to my expenses and student loans. Been saving for years now (and close to my goal first car). I mean whaddya gonna do 🤷‍♂️

This is the devil’s choice

This is the devil’s choice.

A3's are quite compact. I feel something roomier would be nice for growing children long-term.

Nah you totally can. Aimless drives dont have to be 300+ miles. I do 50-120 mi round trip aimless drives. A friend goes on those in his model Y without a problem.

This is actually worthy of a COTD, please.

Now this is some classic Jalopnik shit right here.

Just going off of CR here, how is it that Chevy’s Silverado AND Colorado are their least reliable car when they should be Chevy’s most robust, heavy duty, and long-term vehicles? Yet GM’s econobox semi-luxurious compact SUV is number 3 in reliability and Buick is the most reliable in North America?

Bruh.

Thats fair, I suppose. The SS styling is pretty much exactly the stock last-gen Holden Commodore, and the SS version in AU was definitely spiced up with vents and bits in a similar way to the Mazdaspeed 6. 

This is the take I was looking for.

This would be perfect for the tuner market. Aftermarket parts would exist before it even came out lol. Currently the only Tuner VWs are the Golf and the Jetta GLI. It looks fantastic, and would probably be fun, even if would also probably be FWD.

But then Honda gave us the Type R and it was too overstyled. I’d rather have something pretty subtle and not even that bad looking as opposed to crazy angles that companies like BMW and Honda are giving us nowadays. We can never be satisfied. If the Falcon XR8 came over from down under we would find things to complain… Read more

The 25-year import law can truly, TRUULLY, go and fuck itself.

First Gear:

I really enjoy NASCAR and NASCAR history. I am also more a stick and ball sports guy but I found Nascar through the old Speed channel. I loved watching Monster Jam when I was younger and Nascar and Lucas Oil Racing tournaments were usually on after Monster Jam and I’d stay to watch. In the past 2 or so years I went… Read more

It honestly doesn’t look too bad. In fact the front is smoother than the other GMC and Chevy trucks. It actually looks like a Hummer. And I doubt people will care that much like you said. It has a removable roof!

It just sucks that for how gigantic it is, you still needed the tailgate down to fit the Changli. Whereas Tracy’s J10 did the job perfectly. 6-foot beds just irritate me for some reason, especially when I see them on huge crew-cabs. They’re just a large SUV with its D-pillar and roof removed.

Wtf is up with VW SUV names. Taos, Tharu, Tiguan, Touareg, Taigun, Touran.
