Modeselektor and Apparat are two of my favorites, which makes Moderat one of my favorites as well. If everyone in America starts listening to them, maybe they will actually come to our side of the pond to play a couple shows every now and then!

I wish people with fast cars (cars that are capable of SAFELY moving faster than others) were allowed to have their own couple lanes so they could move at speed without causing problems for anyone else, and without people causing problems for them...

I always thought of discipline more as doing your job no matter what rather than trying to be a superstar.

I'd say they did a decent job working a good story into Black Flag—but besides for that it really is the best AC game I've played. You owe it to yourself to give it a shot even if to do it you need to think of it as a different game altogether.

That's unfortunate, I'm sorry to hear that :( My girlfriend is really excited to learn and keeps pressing me to rent the car. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling soon and hopefully she won't give up after she realizes it isn't a cake walk to learn!

That's totally understandable. I'm sure the DSG will be great—I'm almost tempted to try it just because of LA traffic but I have such a short drive to and from work that I'd rather just make it a fun one. Well, that and I'm aching to get myself into a manual car for a looooooong time before they are extinct.

Do tell! How do you know? I'm actually interested considering I am thinking about renting a manual car for a couple weeks to teach my girlfriend how to drive a stick (have been stuck driving an auto for the last 5 years and am excited to get into a stick again soon—also definitely not going to teach her on my dad's…

Sorry if I got snappy—long morning already.

The 4 door will look better and I am SO excited I have a car to cross shop with the new Mustang and M235i when I am getting a new car in approx 1 1/2 years.

why not spend the next year teaching your wife how to drive stick? it's an activity you can both enjoy together and you can feel good teaching her something useful!

I think golfs look significantly better with 4 doors anyway. the proportions just feel much more... right.

I didn't say anything about consequences and I don't really know what you're on about so have a nice day. Wasn't trying to start some sort of internet battle at all—sorry to have gotten your panties all up in a bunch by saying I can't install adblock at work...

I'm not allowed to install random programs on my work computer without going through a long and arguably more annoying than seeing some ads process. rest assured ad block is on my laptop at home.

So does anyone else still have "greatness awaits 11.15.13" ads on their kotaku pages?

I don't know about other places in CO but I know that in Boulder they don't even use salt to prevent ice on the roads.

Ah yes, those have no shortage of assholes, that much is for sure. Where I am everyone is kind of an asshole when they drive. It's just that the prius driver has jumped so far ahead in the asshole game that it makes everyone else look downright civil.

Once again, they sure as hell don't know where the turn signal is where I live. Everyone where I live is some degree of asshole, so you know. The Prii just seem to be leaps and bounds ahead of the rest.

hahaha BMWs are EVERYWHERE in Germany. Cheap ones, expensive ones, old ones, new ones... If you go to Munich it is literally full of BMWs. By that logic, everyone in Germany must be a pretentious fuck. Also, why is great mileage limited to only city driving (where many good 4-bangers can get at least in the mid-30's)?

That is... so weird...

I agree with you completely. I don't necessarily agree the Prius should die IF they can find a way to get a more polite, respectful driver demographic that doesn't think the road is now theirs because they are the saviors of planet Earth. But as long as it is driven by these dirty cunts, god knows I will hate the car…
