The whole tax debate reminds me of the downfall of many dynasties in China. Take the Ming Dynasty, for example: imperial households and their relatives, officials and the well educated (those who passes state sanctioned exams), business people (Trump would be all over this), and military leaders don’t pay taxes. Now…

Only if you compared MSRP vs. OTD for GTI. See VWVortex or MK7Golf forums for “what did you pay” thread. I got my ‘16 SE w/PP (leather, PP, stick) for 27K OTD, and that was still about $700 more than what some others paid.

A new ‘16 GTI with SP (+10hp & LSD) was 27k OTD. Leather seats and everything.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that it’s far cooler for the GOP to be seen associating with the Russians as opposed to say, the Chinese because Russians are (mostly) white/Caucasian.

Because Lexus RX drivers are old, beige (car & skin color), and never pays any attention to anyone else on the road.

Which bothers me why we ONLY look at Brits & Canadians, and then only focus on a tiny fraction of anecdotal problems and equating it to the entire system.

That’s because we elect officials that are incompetent, and therefore the rules & metrics in place to ensure high levels of services are non-existent.

That was an interesting movie. Thanks for posting.

Your dad did something that I probably would do to my sons LOL.

By “expensive” I mean I pay more $$$ for whatever oil they use. I would do it myself but always seem to not have the time for it.

Personal experience: I flew from Brussels to London a few years ago and the pilot warned us that it’ll be rough, and there will be no beverage service.
