In real life, these things look relatively subdued. I know a couple guys my age (late 40s) who drive GTIs (current gen in one case, prior gen in the other), and nobody at work has ever asked them about it, or made any sort of comment. That would not happen if you were driving, say, a Focus ST, a WRX, or even something…

Will I still look like an adult driving it? My wife has her doubts.

I don’t believe one of these stories. No one drinks “several” hand grenades and lives to tell. At least not real hand grenades from Tropical Isle.

This may be premature... But of all the jokes about Rick Pitino, this is my favorite.

I walked onto a lot two weeks ago and got a 2015 Carbon Steel Gray Metallic GTI S with performance pack and lighting group. When I first looked at one in October of last year the dealer was clueless about the ordering process as well. Hope you get one soon Tom. I sure like mine.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and a baby on the way...I'll be reporting on the practicality.

Further clarification, most Louisville residents do not go to Fourth Street Live. (Seriously just don't).

With a real stupid set of rules. I love Nascar but at this point there's so much that they need to fix.

Must've took a lot of extra thought (or lack thereof). Believe it or don't, I've been following NASCAR sine 1965 and it was pretty ok until the late nineties (according to my memory, anyway). It really does keep getting stupider and stupider with each passing year. Not sure whether to blame money, TV, or what for the…

This is a stellar, insightful, and hilarious article. Representative of the best that Jalopnik can deliver. Bravo.

I'm utterly confused by this whole thing. What is it about the locking system that's causing these cars to roll away? What does one thing have to do with the other? It's not like you enter the code wrong a few times and the car puts itself in drive and takes off to get away from you.

I was trying to figure out how to pronounce the name of this car out loud and I accidentally vomited up my spleen.
