Thanks! Good to know. I feel like there’s a lot of gray area with some laws so it’s funny to see how black and white this is.

I just can’t believe that if two people are speaking loudly to each other with the windows down that it would fall under a “reasonable expectation of privacy”. Same with limo tint not providing a reasonable expectation of privacy for in-car sex because you’d have to literally go up to the window and shine a light…

So does rolling your windows down eliminate your expectation of privacy when having a conversation? What about when you’re having a conversation over bluetooth where you can often hear at least one end of the conversation through the doors?

One thing I don’t get is why it is illegal to do something like have sex in a car, but then when you are doing things like talking you suddenly have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Adding every single option to a 4 door with performance package and DSG makes it BARELY touch $5k less than the base price of the Evoque. There’s a point where just building the car to these specs costs money and they can’t afford to make it that much cheaper for you.

If it’s smaller, slower, drives worse, and less luxurious while being more impractical then yeah, a 911 makes no sense.

Still my favorite:

Shots fired!

Holy shit I want a rally Miata...

Yeah I understand what you mean. I do get excited by a good car nowadays but just don’t find myself awestruck at much anymore. If only we could get some of those cars they get in Europe and Australia... I think I was more responding to the original commentor saying that VAG is sort of stuck in a rut because they made…

I’m sorry if you read into that, I was not trying to imply that you cannot afford these cars, and did not mean to offend you at all. I was just stating the obvious that cars are more expensive no matter what you look at now, and $30k for a brand new car is no longer unreasonable. And again, what you get in a fully…

I’m not saying they are currently behind the curve. They are just now pumping out actually competetive product, after Benz and BMW and VAG/Porsche DOMINATING the market for years. They have played a game of catch up. They’re not putting out anything new or revolutionary, they are putting out product that is…

I don’t even know what my ego has to do with this. I’m not only talking about the GTI when I say I agree overall cars have gotten “boring” but that’s just because there’s really nowhere else to go for those brands. They’ve sorta done it all already. The MkVII is about as exciting as you can make a new GTI right now…

At great cost? The performance package ran me what... $1500? It came with a diff, a little bump in power (not noticeable), and a spectacular brake upgrade.

The new GTI is better in every measurable way than the old one. It’s the biggest leap forward they’ve made in a long time since the MkV I’d say. It’s the reason I got rid of my 1 series and got one for myself.

It’s the same old shit with every car company that has made great cars for the past 10 years. Unless they get an electric performance line like BMW i cars, I don’t see anything revolutionary and excellent coming from companies like Mercedes, BMW, etc. (besides for the aforementioned “i” cars).

7 inches is well above average I thought.

How does this personally affect you in any way?

$1500 for illuminated door sills? My $30k GTI has illuminated door sills standard.
