Except I have a set of Blizzak WS80s.. on my Audi with AWD. I only get AWD because I plan to be prepared as possible. Not cause I think AWD on summers/all seasons is great. (incidentally, yes I do carry an emergency avalanche shovel in the back too, even in the summer. and yes I’m insane)

EPA regulations... My car now takes purple pink coolant... Which was a pisser to find when it was a bit low. I needed VW/Audi G13 coolant, which if you had a car that used G12 or G12+ or G12++ coolant, you could use, but if the car took G13 coolant, you couldn’t use the other ones. (can’t use older stuff) All the auto…

I have to say, it was fun to blast around the Auburn hills headquarters lots at night time... in my GTI. I brought it so my dad could try it out when I went back to Michigan. (He works for them too).

At least that beats my Audi... I have the highest trim with every option... and a bunch of blank buttons since they don’t offer all of the features on the US model -_-;

This is why my car key/remote fobs are on quick release clips to my keys. Actually, no. I’m just afraid that they’ll lose em. Or some idiot will snatch them out of the open window while the car sits in a parking structure.

It doesn’t display the stats of, number of hours you spent trying to connect to Xbox live... Number of times you reboot your xbox one to get it to work properly.... Number of times you joined and quit and rejoined a party in an attempt to get voice chat to work properly...

I was actually quite disappointed by the Bose stereo in my wife’s car, but I’m very impressed by the Bang and Olufsen upgrade in mine.

Aww yes... Time for the old VW, vs new VW strategy.

Lush green fields. Random monoliths :)

There’s always going to be a push for the sexy manned fighter plane, but if we do end up with laser weapons, then the whole game really does change. I think it will end up becoming more about countermeasures and speed. But the real question I think is how more and more advanced / cheap drone aircraft could play a role…

There’s the rub here. It’s not that you cannot build a car that generates pollution. We’re unabashedly direct in our Go ‘Murica attitude. We just don’t want you to lie about how good your car is. <- This is coming from someone who drove and loved the MK6 GTI for 3 years and is now in an Audi. I love VAG cars, and I…

I always thought Mugino would be more effective as a ship based weapon. The range on that railgun is too short.

I love this car. I want one badly, but I can’t justify the 80 grand price tag. I love hatchbacks/sportbacks.

Hellcat twins on 125 space saver tires... I’m not sure you could drive without burning out all the time.

I thought the hellcats were just a street legal way to incinerate rubber? (Illegal to burn rubber/tires in many states)

As big of a fan of leasing as I am, I find this the wrong way to evaluate lease deals. NEVER base your decision on what an advertised monthly payment with X money down is. The only numbers that make a difference to me are Money Factor and Residual along with any incentives or discounts. The M3 is currently running a…

Bah the A-10 is proof you can strap jet engines to a tank and have it fly :P

My VW dealer was nowhere near as good. They never gave me a loaner lol. No cookies and pop either. Now the Audi dealer drives a Loaner to my house, gives me the keys, drives my car to the dealer for service, then calls me and drives the car back to me and picks up the loaner.

The MK5 golf had a 1.4L engine that put out 74HP.

I was so tempted to get one of these. But after my GTI, and dealing with the potholes and the small patches of pavement between them that we call “roads” in NYC, and having 5 tire replacements in 3 years (excellent tire coverage). The idea of a stiffer suspension and lower profile tires scared me off. I ended up with…
