I don’t get why AWD was a requirement anyway. She didn’t mention anything about going to remote places in the mountains. I mean, she currently drives a Mini. . .  Plus, AWD is just another thing that can fail, and she mentioned low maintenance. . .

No I didn’t.  I probably would have, but try as I might, I can’t get the wife to drive a manual.  She gets too anxious.  I will say the auto has been excellent, and if you feel so inclined, the paddle shifters are very functional, but unfortunately are the type mounted to the wheel instead of the column.

understandable. I take regular trips of several hundred miles and many hours, so the extra space to stretch is nice.

Did you drive the 2.0t or the 1.5t? The sport 2.0t handled very well in my opinion (I’m not racing the thing ffs) and felt faster than the GTI. Granted, you’re never going to get the same handling feel as a relatively short wheelbase hot hatch, but where I live, it doesn’t matter and will never come into play.

Now, I don’t know for a fact that this is the case at BYU, but often these types of things are run by students with some minimal faculty supervision.

Agree 100%

Are you me? I literally did the same thing. Test drove a 6, Accord Sport 2.0t, and a GTI the same day back to back. They ARE bigger, to be sure, but so is the GTI. In fact, I was so pleased with the Accord 2.0t after I’ve been driving it for a month, then I did some comparisons. The Accord Sport 2.0t only weighs about…

Don’t get me wrong, I think we should all strive to be better people, but this pic? Bleh. I think we all need to lighten up and save our righteous indignation for targets that really deserve it.

This sucks, as kids should get healthy foods for lunch, and the shutdown is some stupid bullshit, but <rocks back and forth in rocking chair> when I was in school, literally none of the things they are losing were available for my lunch. Fruits and veggies were canned, water was from the water fountain, and ice cream…

Ehhhhh, this doesn’t strike me as “insensitive” so much as it was simply “incorrect.”

If you only eat out once a month and still tip like garbage, then you’re just being cheap. You should probably just admit the truth—it will set you free.  I don’t care how you justify it, you’re being an ass to those servers.

I completely disagree. The sealed beams pretty much ruined the look of the front of these.

I did this with the most recent Zelda. Explored everywhere and did 3 out of the 4 main shrine thingeys, then just never came back.  Still think it’s the best Zelda game I’ve ever played.

It’s funny you mention that. I’ve seen an unusually large number of new Volvo V90s around my area.  This pleases me.

I’d be surprised if these go down much in price. Have you checked prices on CTS-V wagons?  If you want one, you better get it now.

holy cow. My brain just can’t really even comprehend that people do this.

The spoiler definitely. . . . . .

Yes, this x 10000000000. I remember playing Elite Dangerous with the Oculus DK2 and being blown away. Then I got my Vive and the glare was unbelievably bad. So bad that I have never played that game again, sadly, as I only wanted to play it in VR.

wait, what? Imagine Dragons is considered “rock?”

This is kinda cool, but I just can’t get excited about anything Ken Block these days.
