We wanted to eat at one of those hipster pizza places in Brooklyn one time, and went in the evening. It was more than a 2 hour wait (we decided to go elsewhere for dinner that night). The next day we walked right in at lunch and enjoyed a delicious meal.

My BMW 5 series does 38mpg on the highway. It weighs over 2 tons. It’s 2017; 36 MPG is not an unachievable figure.

I’m contemplating going the other way, drop off my TDI with as much crap stashed in it as possible. The smellier the better.

Trump wants to be this generation’s Reagan, but I think we’ll find he’s more Nixon.

Not really a date, but in my younger days I was at a party chatting up this girl. She wanted to leave the party but found her car’s battery had died. Since I was in no condition to drive, I graciously offered to jump her car with mine, and in the dark I reversed the cables. Not 10 seconds went by before they were…

I went batshit crazy and parlayed my dieselgate winnings into a BMW 535D.

I just picked up a blue 535dx last week. I’m happy I found an example in blue, but the color is still kind of subtle and looks black in photos.

Rocky III, except last night was the rematch and she couldn’t pull off the win.

Yep, it’s part of the reason patent trolls exist, too.

I would be interested how it bears out in court, because I don’t think its cut and dried whichever side of the argument you’re on.

Fuck it, ghost ride it right into the dealer parking lot.

So what you’re saying is that if you want to get VW back, rather than strip the vehicle simply ram it into a light pole as you pull into the dealer lot.

Not to mention he’s potentially ruining it for others who wanted to low-key grab a couple things here and there off their cars before they turn them in.

No matter what they come up with, people will be unhappy. Will be nice to get the deal done though so those who are looking to buy used examples can find them again. The market is so dry right now. There was like one A6 TDI for sale within 500 miles of here in the last 3 months.

Exactly. VW’s legal team brought this on themselves by leaving a big enough loophole in the settlement to drive a stripped Golf though.

Are we not talking about vertical video anymore?

At the very least, take one of the wheels and drive it in on the spare.

As a former Saab guy I owned 3 classic 900s and a 9000, but never had a chance to own a 9-5, which I do regret.

I’ll take a 2004+ in nocturne blue, with heated/cooled seats and a manual, please.

I drive a plow as a night gig from time to time, and the dumbass shit the snowplow drivers have to deal with on the regular is pretty damn eye opening. I’ve never caused or been directly involved in an accident, mostly because I know to expect the most idiotic result possible with any sort of traffic interaction.
