I always wanted one as it would bring the WRX nostalgia back to my life however having a family and practical uses for the car beyond getting me from A to B, I had to go with the GTI. Maybe few more years and i’ll get a toy car again. 

but they need to provide traffic data somehow so either no tracking and no traffic feature or back to existing model. 

BMW X5 would be an answer however there are 2 problems:

the key is that you have the correct/better engine (N55 turbo inline 6) in your 535 vs the horrible hot V8 in this 7 series.

terrible idea. What’s next, boosts to cars based on fans’ likes on social media? This is not racing anymore...

such an amazing story and it really warms my heart. This car was in a fair share of my rally-lucid dreams over 20 years ago. :) Love it. 

I agree with #2. Gees and ducks have became a flying rats species long time ago and are mostly a nuisance at this point with no serious endangerment. 

have you ever tried checking on changing your spark plugs? Also, non boosted open deck EJ25 engines were notorious for the head gasket problems.

nope, SUV. 

I had a hybrid Pacifica rental on a recent week long trip to Tucson AZ and it was a blast to drive. very punchy off the line, versatile as hell with a flat floor fold away seats and it didn’t suck to drive around with a decent dynamic and cornering.

that’s a loss at the end of the day anyway so what’s the point in doing that? Let’ me throw away $44B so I don’t have to pay taxes on being $44B poorer? 

one huge caveat with 401-k, IRA and Roth IRA is that the benefit of the tax-deferred or tax-free growth comes at a huge inconvenience of not having access to this money (without penalty) until your retirement age.

I will go with Robert Kubica for F1. Such a great driver that just got very unlucky with his accident. He was one leg in Ferrari already and all of the titles won by Vetter would have been Kubica’s if not more. He’s consistently regarded as the most professional and talented driver by a ton of people inside F1…

yeah, but were talking about Chi-town and they still love their red light cameras so that’s a viable solution for this problem. 

getting in/out, maybe, I’ll give you that but old people aren’t shopping for sporty. as far as kids and cargo usability CUVs are horrible. They have less room for car seats than proper sedans, especially for those rear facing ones, and certainly don’t have more trunk space with all of these rear windows sloping down…

maybe uphill but AWD does absolutely nothing for turning in snow or actually stopping. one can accelerate any car with all seasons but the fun begins when you need to turn the wheel or press the brake. 

better solution, Chicago loves speed/red cameras so much but for some reason there isn’t one there. Install some at this intersection and your suspension pedestrian bridge would self fund. 

VQ sound = wounded whale 

Have you ever tried Nitro? that was a special turd as well, probably even better than the “calibur” :)
