My family introduced me to the MKIV Golf in 2001 to the flavor of a used 2000 TDI. My parents were looking for a car to replace their Chrysler Cirrus. That was our only VW till 2008 when my parents picked up a 2005 2.0 MKIV. I was with my dad when he signed the papers and tossed me the keys to our family’s “new” car…

Not if you build them correctly.

Hit the skinny pedal!

Does the future hold tireless wheels or a world full of soft sand? Just asking because every concept sketch seems to show the wheels on the ground.

I will give you Utah, but what I’ve seen from New Mexico and California I’m not missing much, I haven’t made it to Nevada yet. The Grand Canyon is towards the bottom of my list of cool stuff I have found out here. You should check out Sedona but if you go do it during the week, on the weekends its packed.

Not sure how that is a wasted…

“Arizona is a fairly mountainous and rugged state, and is home to the world’s largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest. Many mountain ranges exceed 9,000 feet (2,700 m) in elevation, and some can hold snow all summer.”

“I’m not sure 4 days are enough to get around the island and actually stop and see stuff. You’ll just be driving campsite to campsite.”

I got the big truck stuck in one of the tubes...

All hail the IDx!
