Gawker Media Group still exists. And Jalopnik still follows the Gawker model of click-bait bullshit and non-story stories.

Again, you have not demonstrated that they are inferior other than giving me some faux wise advice.

Translation: don’t believe actual data and believe my anecdotes. 25+ years means nothing if all it is is personal observation. And cut the ageist bullshit.

I’ve owned an Mk6 and recently an Mk7 GTI. Never broken down once.

You’re dumb.

If we are going to play the bullshit reasoning game, I have had 4 VW’s with 0 issues. In fact, my wife’s Honda Fit had way more issues.

Lol. Okay.

For so much hatred and claims of flaws and reliability issues you have yet to provide anyone here with a first person account or proof to back up any of these claims. You just come off as a giant prick with an irrational hatred for a brand.

This could potentially be one of the dumbest comments I’ve ever seen on Jalopnik, and that’s saying a lot.

Tell your insurance company you want what’s called an “agreed cash value” policy. Unless that’s already what you’re doing, in which case tell them you’ll walk if they don’t increase it.

I would take my business elsewhere if they are not willing to insure the car for what its worth.

Classic problem of multi-class racing... the ‘prototype’ classes are just so much faster than the GT classes that they have no choice but to go for risky passes. I don’t think Jordan was being overly aggressive; he just got stuck in a bad spot, which happened to be a mass of GT cars that were racing hard with each…

It’s also not cool that Tesla hires eastern European temp workers, ignores workers’ complaints and in general sound more like a religious cult than a corporate office.

“... both an ally and a state sponsor of terrorism.”

“The state department provisionally approved the deal at the end of the Obama administration in language sharply at odds with Trump’s recent accusations.” So either Trump decided to go through with a bad deal he could have canceled at any time, or he’s speaking nonsense about Qatar funding terrorism.

the only thing that does is make sure the team with the most money is the only one that wins.

I’m a staunch privacy advocate in all cases because for every seemingly harmless app like this one, we get nutbags like the public safety advocate who wrote into one of our local papers advocating that everyone should have to share the contents of their car’s data recorder every day to determine whether they should be…

Why not? How is that different than me changing the station on my touch screen radio or scrolling the map on my touch screen navigation?

That’s cutting off your nose to spite your face. This will not do any more to prevent texting than MAKING IT ILLEGAL does.

There’s also the idea that any type of wreck could allow authorities to access information from drivers’ phones. Lieberman told the AP that he doesn’t want to be responsible for proposing privacy-infringing legislation, but that he also “[doesn’t] want to bury another child.”
