you must be living really far south. Cars don’t get to operating temp in areas north of Chicago for at least 10 min of driving in deep winter. Cleaning snow off takes 3 min so the wipers will not be free by the time you’re done. Just put them up. It also prevents micro rips in your blade rubber which later causes…

this needs more stars 

I live in a snowy parts as well, have driven GTI for last 5 winters with a dedicated set of winter tires with no issues. Do I miss faster accelerations of a AWD with winter tires? yes, but I can still live with this car on a day to day basis and have absolutely no issues driving in the snow as long as your tires are…

get an Autobahn GTI then and flash tune it. My biggest complain about R is that it’s really expensive... and it doesn’t have a proper handbrake ;) 

but, but, but,... the speculation is the best method of investing lately... with right marketing, the stocks will be gobbled up in no time

on the bright side Rep. Larry Householder will have a unique opportunity to lose that 2nd chin in prison :) 

There is a somewhat doable answer to this at the moment. “B” corporations. They just need to do a better job on marketing this model and turning consumers on to the fact that they are not evil. There is also a trading market being started for these and they are trying to get it to be traded on NYSE.

you’re right about “nothing good can come out of this”... Boomers are such a drag lately :) 

Really? So then how DID that British tallboy bomb get there? Britain DID fight to free Poland. I’d call the defeat of Germany a “tangible”.

LOL, you may want to go beyond your wiki link. The fact that they declared war meant absolutely nothing. British and French didn’t fire a single bullet for another several months until their own existence became under threat. By then, Poland was all partitioned by the Nazi and Soviets. The French and British…

1st gear - the used car market is bizarre. I had a 2015 MK7 GTI S 6MT with 115k miles and KBB was valuing this at $8600 tops for private sale. Carvana was offering me about $9k with Vroom a few hundred behind$17k. A local VW dealer with their used car arm bit on my FB ad and bought it from me for $11. I see that they…

you must have never heard about future value of money and compounding interest. 

you don’t have a clue how mass purchasing contracts work. This was probably part of the deal and didn’t cost USPS an extra penny to have this done. They negotiated the deal and at the end right before signing most likely said: “we are pretty close and may be able to sign the deal but you will have to remove badges and…

I would love this car if it was brought to USA. if the starting price is similar to GTI, I would take this in a heartbeat. 

owning a car so that you don’t have an expense is not an investment. You just out right purchased a depreciating asset that will not sell for more than you paid for it and you’ll have to pay money to maintain it. If you put that asset to work and it makes you money, which buyers of cars with hopes they will go up in…

I hate when people talk about cars and “investments”. A car is never an investment. It doesn’t make you money on a regular basis. If somehow your bought a heap and kept it in a barn for 20 years and made some money on it then my friend you’ve engaged in a pure speculation. Sitting on a car for 20 years to make pocket…

Marty Byrde says that some companies don’t exist to make profits :) 

exactly, today everyone is quick to buy into the speculation and it’s the poor suckers that bought near the top that will be parted with their money. 

it’s doable without removing the front fascia. I’ve done it with just the radiator fans out of the way. 

if there was any chance that you didn’t lose me at “electric bikes” then you sure as hell lost me at Harley Davidson. I have absolutely no desire to watch anything related to this brand.
