I change my car once every 10K miles (GTI’s normal service schedule). I’ve always gone to the dealer and they use “expensive” oil because they stated for 10K miles it’s important to use this. Any feedback on how 10K vs. 3K miles oil change differ when it comes to oil choices?

Yes, because when I was young & stupid I spent a bunch of money on cars, aftermarket parts, gifts for unworthy women, and liquor. All I have left to show for it are faded pictures and bad memories. A buddy of mine, on the other hand, drove a beater Accord and poured all his money into rental housing and is now a…

I’d buy a GTI and use the rest to buy a condo and rent it out, collect the rent minus 10% management fee.

I don’t get how this halo, with huge gaping holes, could protect anyone from anything...

And more East Asians in major cities, of whom are solely responsible for jacking up real-estate prices, am I right?

OK seriously, have you never watched TV shows like NCIS or Law and Order? Let’s say a prosecutor is investigating a murder, but found evidence/leads that indicates possible additional crimes like racketeering, false imprisonment, etc., wouldn’t the prosecutor WANT to branch out/broaden the investigation to ensure ALL…

You can now get a lightly used one for about 27K, which is I think an OK price.

Can’t wait for deep throat from deep state disclose some deep secrets.

That line of reasoning means that you know the logical opposed of cold is not cold and may have taken the LSAT.

OK, his granddaughter watched a few episodes of Ni-hao, Kai-Lan on Nickelodeon and now she’s fluent? I watched a bunch of Dora The Explorer so now I’m fluent in Spanish. Smart genes, I tell you.

Indeed. I recall the Chinese didn’t like it when we laughed at Jiang Zeming for picking his nose, or played with “Hu/Who?”.

Yes it’s weird how people don’t seem to grasp that fact. But then not everyone reads The Economist (everyone should).

The guy must have been a former Sprint employee.

I’ve only dealt with 4 Chevy dealers, but they all had L2 charging - but slow. None offered L3 (DCFC) for the Spark EV/Bolt DCFC. While I don’t have experience with Tesla’s supercharging network, it’s pretty incredible to see L3 charging done.

It’s actually not. I’ve owned both the Gen 1 Volt and Spark EV, both were fine as Point A to Point B transports but drove like crap. The Bolt is slightly better in the handling department but looks like an econobox with an interior that feels cheap. On purely looks I would rather buy the Gen 2 Volt over the Bolt, but…

This is real, right? You’re not pulling my strings?

Try saying that with Colonel Jessup’s voice, and then scream “you can’t handle the truth!”

Life long stick driver here: paddles give me more focus on the steering part, which I like.

Yes, take a statistically rare occurrence and call it prevailing situation, that’s the logic? You will find cases of mistreated patients in ANY GIVEN healthcare schemes around the world, even the ones millionaires and billionaires pay into. If that’s your logic, then everything in your world should be stereotyped and…

What are you sinking about?
