The record cold is -27 in Chicago so this cold is not something normal. Even in Minneapolis this is the coldest we’ve seen in a while. I think a few days dipping down to the negative low teens in January is pretty normal (even staying in the low single digit negatives is relatively normal in January) but not dropping…

Damn this was a while ago... but I changed my opinion once I heard one a few months back. I bet it’s a fucking blast to drive.

The issue is that in Midwest cities like Chicago and Minneapolis is that they have to account for temperatures in the summer as well when they build things and pick materials. There aren’t many places where you can see -30F real temp. in the winter and 110F in the summer. Steel contracts when cold and they probably…

2013 Golf R, 5th is actually pretty useful for passing at lower highway speeds. At 45 or 50 cruising down the highway the turbo takes waaaaaaay too long to start to spool up and this car might as well be pedal powered if it’s not on boost.... which doesn’t start to kick in until 3k rpm, so downshifting to 5th gets you…

It kind of looks like a GTA mix of a Ferrari F430, the new NSX and a C7 and honestly I’m not complaining. It think it’s cool that there will be a somewhat affordable mid-engine supercar out there. The corvette has always been the blue collar sports car that has been able to punch way up at the competition and if…

Counter offer: Jaguar just builds the C-X75 and stuffs it with the supercharged 5.0 V8 and pairs it with a hybrid system. Boom everyone is happy. It looks good, sounds good, hauls ass, and if my life ever goes off the rails I’ll have a dream car to steal. 

I’m assuming they are planning on using this engine in other models as well? With the torque bias this would be a good engine to put into the Escalade.... honestly i would not be mad about a V-Sport escalade to compete with something like a Range Rover Supercharged or X5 50i. 

I know an opinion can’t technically be wrong, but your opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.

I’m not sure why I found this joke so amusing but I did. I think you needed to know that. 

When I was a kid I was coming home to Chicago with my family from vacation in Wisconsin. Traffic wasn’t too bad and then all of a sudden it just slowed down to a dead stop with no traffic coming the other way. After 15 minutes of no one moving people started to get out of their cars and stand on the median to see all…

I’ve always wondered what the appropriate way to start from a complete stop is. I got a manual car (mk6 golf R) when I was in college and kind of taught myself how to drive manual. I usually just engage the clutch until it starts rolling with no gas and then once I’m moving I Release the clutch and drive normally. Is…

Yeah agreed, tho I’m sure Alphabet has a more than capable internal investment team. If google were to do it I can’t think of a good reason why they wouldn’t just fully acquire Tesla as a subsidiary but maybe that’s the only way Musk would go ahead with the deal / partnership? By keeping them independent? Idk Honestly…

I mean Alphabet (Google’s holding company) would be the only one that I can think of that has the funds and some incentive to acquire Tesla hasn’t been checked off yet. They have a pretty solid work history together and if they merge Waymo with Tesla to develop actual autonomous vehicles they could start to control…

“Offtopic, but currently I don’t personally even have a car, only motorcycle. And I have to admit it’s somehow freeing experience.”

Ill back you up here. I don’t necessarily think they are tacky, but I do think they’re ugly as hell. I liked the exhaust on the 675LT.

Good this car was ugly as hell, auto only, and overpriced. If you bought this over a cayman you’re insane. 

If i could give multiple stars i would, Lou’s sausage pizza is the best pizza in the world and that’s not an opinion that’s just a fact. I remember eating Pizza in Italy and thinking “damn i wish there was a Lou’s here”. I moved to MN and we recently got a Giordano’s and i know why people don’t like deep dish now…

You are 100% wrong. I’m gay and think the spoiler looks tacky so I’m glad it’s gone and black wheels with the dark blue looks mean af, 8/10 would whip.

The Golf R one for sure. I just went to see a used Golf R because my MK6 one is nearing the 70k mile mark. The one they had at the dealer was a DCT with 30k+ miles on it..... they were asking almost $34k for it. I test drove it and asked the guy if they would get close to the KBB value of $28,500 he said that the…

Oh VW will deny anything they can, I know this from first hand experience. My ECU went out on my stage 1 golf R this summer due to hardware issues and they tried to deny it because I had a software tune.... I raised hell and they ended up covering a new ECU + labor a loaner and a new battery, but if I didn’t…
