I’d be down for the challenge! Perhaps I can get JR back and jump his car for once!

And “do whatever” seems like a perfectly legitimate formula for a spectacle such as this.

The VAG 1.8t is like people named Kim Jong...it doesn’t really matter which generation we’re talking about anymore.

Ironically, the head gasket was still intact at the end.

Did you sleep through 2014? Like all of it?

You’ve gotta pay for those derpy-ass rear doors somehow.

There may be a future cheapo model, but it ain’t out yet.

Aside from the horrible pictire of Vettes here, you’re right. I’ve been all over and there is no car culture quite like this place. I love living here between March and November. The rest of the year can go fuck itself.

All of this is true in so many ways. You left out the plethora of total garbage cars being curbstoned for $4k above what they’re worth. 2004 Impala with 156k miles for $8,000? What a bargain!

Now you’re talking!

The only beautiful Ferraris in my lifetime have been 355 and 458.

At first I thought (most sarcastically) “yeah you are really in your element out here bud” and then I remember that the surface of the moon is likely smoother than I-75 as I had one of my fillings…

Crown Victoria don’t need no 4x4.

Oh they’re not even close to the only ones. Establish any set of boundaries and requirements, and people will try to beat it. Hell, every 2-3 years we have a “scandal” in a major motorsport because someone squeezed a semi-truck’s worth of clever exploitation through a pinprick sized loophole in the rules. “gas tank…

Made...in America?

Do you really think they designed it to lack airflow? Even on the giant gaping maw of the ST, they fill in a surprising amount of the grill with plastic.

Not sure if 4 mpg is a “plummet.”

“Any customer can have a Bronco any time he wants so long as it is an F150.”.

And that’s nowhere near what they spend to actually have it race-ready! I’ve spent time with those Cup guys and they’re in $300k to start.

A seven year old Audi with 60k miles and 50% more HP than it was designed for.
