No. No, it doesn’t. This nonsense needs to die.

The point I’m making is it’s not uncommon for higher end luxury vehicles to share platforms with less expensive vehicles. It doesn’t make the TT-RS a base Golf, and it doesn’t make an ATS-V a base Camaro.

Wow I had no idea the Lancer had gotten so big. It’s six inches longer and three inches taller than my S3 at the same width. The 86 by comparison is an inch narrower, seven inches shorter in height and fully 13 inches shoter in length than the Lancer. I personally think the S3 is the perfect size for me (and I had an…

Some people like new cars. We can’t all be Tavarish.

And an ATS-V is built on the same platform as a base Camaro. What’s your point?

That’s only true if you’re looking at price point performance. Top Camaro vs. Top Vette the Z06 still blows the doors off the ZL1. The ZL1 is about even with the current Grand Sport in most metrics from the reviews I’ve been seeing.

Matt Farah / Smoking Tire just drove this car as well. https://youtu.be/kAbBeZWpOKY

I need to pay closer attention to my notifications...An “ordinance” is something enacted by your town to control where people park and what they do with their trash. “Ordnance” is something that goes boom. In any country a FUZE is an explosive component. I worked with two companies in the UK for several years who…

How “tall”? It’s only 51" high, same as an FR-S/BRZ/86. Two inches shorter than a Camaro ZL1. It is two inches taller than a Corvette Z06 or Audi R8 though.

Motorcycles:
05 Ninja 500R - Solid Black

11 CBR1000RR - Also BFR

98 Explorer - Metallic Grey
04 300M Special - Metallic Grey
04 GTO - Phantom Black
08 Tundra - Maroon
08 C350 - Metallic Grey
06 Sierra - Metallic Gold
12 Tundra - Solid White
13 Ram 2500 - Metallic Blue/Black
14 FR-S - Metallic White
16 Golf R - Limestone Grey Metallic
17 S3 - Vegas Yellow

Fuze with a Z, not Fuse with an S. Fuzes set off weapons, Fuses keep your electronics from catching fire.

The one-page rule is for kids coming out of college to keep them from listing how much time they spent as a barista and a vet tech that aren’t necessarily applicable to the job of Electrical Engineer they’re applying for. It goes out the window once you’ve had applicable work experience. In my experience.

And yet you don’t actually need to go to a gym to do any of the exercises discussed here, with the possible exception of pull-ups (unless you have a pull-up bar at home in which case you’re golden)...

The proportions of the RF still look wrong to me, in pictures and having now seen it in person at the LAAS last fall. The roofline is too tall.

If you intend to tune, go DSG all day long. Manual clutches just aren’t up to the task; there are several aftermarket but even they never seem to hold up for more than a few tens of thousands of miles, whereas the DSG clutches with appropriate tune will last the life of the vehicle.

I had a 2016 6MT R in the same Limestone Grey Metallic with the adjustable suspension (DCC) and nav package. It was fun while I had it but the manual was never as precise as that in my prior FR-S, even with a Dieselgeek Sigma 6 shift kit and upgraded knob. It was close but it was still very much a linkage. I now have…

Fortunately there are several really easy ways to fix it. One is to use VCDS/Vag-Com (if you already have it or can get someone with it local) or OBDEleven to disable it in software (this is what I did on my R and on my S3). The other is to get under the hood and unplug the actual device power connector; it sits about…

I think (and this article supports the notion that) it (being “raised atheist”) will become much more common in the generations following yours and mine. My parents, they tried to force religion on me, but they also (perhaps foolishly from their perspective) taught me how to think for myself and form my own…

This is probably buried in the comments someplace but isn’t this on the MLB platform, not the MQB platform? MQB is the small car platform (Golf, A/S3) whereas MLB is the mid-/large sized platform...
