No Wagon? Electric/hybrid? is it time to panic yet?

Answer: yes. Bought a new GTI in 2016.

Ur-S6! Best car I ever owned!

What’s stupid about this is that a car company is perfectly content with a 5% take rate for a car model as a convertible, or with their fanciest tech package (Infrared Night Vision, All Wheel Steering etc these days for Audi) but they are contemptuous of 5% of their buyers who want a better driving experience. Not…

No question; yes to all three. My friends with gen1 manual R8s love them. Lovely gated shifter the R8 lost when Lambo stopped trying to sell manuals.

I forded a river once in a rented Mercury.

It’s August in Florida, so I’m just hiding my car in my garage and staying indoors.

Really the only rule to follow is: match your revs.

Lost of times it makes sense.. you accelerate with a bit of gusto on a 45 mph road, you might end up doing 1-2-5. You’ve hit the fat part of the power band in each gear but now you need to stop accelerating or you’ll go way to fast.. press the clutch and engage when the revs fall, and off you go at 1500 rpm.

Is this pendulum swing supposed to be any consolation to the people who were run over, or the people attacked in the streets today by these statue enthusiasts?

The act of protesting the removal of a statue is one thing. The fact that the actual non-hypothetical protesters were in fact Nazis - you know with actual Swastikas and everything - is another.

Please sell your car and walk to work.

YOU HAVE MY VOTE, SIRAH

Inherited a family 2002 Civic, did the bags straight-away (in 2015), and thank heavens, as they were available right then at the dealer. Then I sold the car with a clear conscience.

Edge case; 2016+ GTIs “recommend” premium, but are rated 87 on the gas flap. Evidently those clever boffins that do ECU maps programmed different throttle maps for the car.. must have been when they were taking a break from writing diesel emissions software.

I miss bona fide coupes.

Those numbers would be at least 2% higher if they sold the Giulia with a manual transmission. That’s 48 cars! Why you leaving money on the table, FCA?

Makes you wonder if we’re watching the death of the LMP1 class.

Really? You think Trump symbolizes an end to the “amateur hour?”
