I don’t know what the automatic lights were designed to solve but they created more problems than it’s worth. Was it so that people don’t forget to turn them off?

you actually found Giulia that works?? 

Just a side note: anyone who knows watches would never wear a Rolex. there are far better options in that price range that are much more subdued and don’t project the “sleezy salesman” persona on you while wearing one. ;) 

wouldn’t that be illegal to refuse cash purchase? you can’t refuse legal us tender in exchange for goods. 

Very reliable. No repairs so far. Only standard maintenance that I do myself. 10k oil changes. 30k air filter changes. Spark plugs and coil packs at 90k and just did front brakes for the first time at 100k (rotors and pads). Rear ones have at least 20-30k left in them so I didn’t touch them. I did flush the brake…

it’s been working for me in the last 15 years of winter tire driving the same way it does to the guys in the video. 70mph may be a stretch but 55mph on plowed (not salted) highway is very doable and in control. Regular streets with 40-45MPH limits are very much doable at the speed limit with no drama.

if you went from GTI to TypeR then you must be barely in your 20's. I don’t see myself ever driving this ridiculously childish looking Civic. 

don’t know what you’re talking about. I have 100k+ miles on my MKVII GTI and it has been problem free. And these are hard 100k miles. 

MKVII here with 100k+ miles. I’m really thinking that I’ll take mine to 200k and then maybe get another one :) 

My GTI has it too 

You can’t safely do 40-45MPH on the snow? you need more training dude. 

imagine if... you and rest of the idiots didn’t have to drive 20mph in a 45mph zone because everyone would be on winter tires and it would feel like just driving in a rain on regular all seasons. You could get to work in a regular time, instead of 3x longer. You would not have to worry as much about an idiot behind…

let’s not get carried on here... He knows how to market himself and is a decent driver but you must be a dumb punk kid to walk past Loeb to get Block’s autograph 

that 2nd Williams car is not identical. You can see it plainly in the weekend stats i.e. top speed. how can a car be so much slower even on straights? Also, when Russel was doing tests in Kubica’s car (Abu Dhabi?), he was even slower. They consistently lack 2 sets of identical parts for both cars, and the car is very…

Kubica... that guy deserves that seat and a proper fast car to show what he can still do. 

both collisions demonstrate very poor headlight mounts on Versa. 

if you’re smart about your 401k portfolio, your annual expenses can be less than 0.01%. Tat’s a $1k per year on $1MM portfolio, if you have one :) 

ah, the 90's. White socks with a suit :rolleyes:   :) 

once you properly learn heal and toe, it’s hard to stop. I’ve been driving manual cars for over 20 years and since i learned it about 15 years ago I do heal-and-toe on every downshift, especially when braking and downshifting into a 90 degree intersection turn. It helps if the car has pedals that are in the correct…

you can do both and you pretty much need to dance with your feet on pedals all the time. In a manual car it is common to right foot brake into a corner if you know that you will have to downshift so that your left foot can operate the clutch, but as soon as that foot is available it gets back on the brake.
