the pressue acted as a blender. It created red, water soluble liquid that further got diluted over short period of time. It’s like dumping your smoothie into a pool and trying to later recover it. Not gonna happen. 

you don’t seem to understand that the bloody paste that used to be bodies that got created in the process is by now long gone and there is nothing to recover. While our bodies are largely water, they also have soft tissue and bones and other stuff that pretty much ended up looking as if you put a body into a blender.…

hell no... nobody needs to suffer that torque steer. 

looks like Tom nailed it again. Other experts didn’t pay attention. It stated no american car so why recommending Camaro? Also, coming from an RX8 this person would probably not enjoy less powerful miata or BRZ. 

speaks words about the quality of the journalists we have now. that’s what you get when you’re snoozing in the science classes in HS and later have no more need for science courses in your Journalism degree. 

that’s cold.... but brilliant :) 

put your arm in a vise and start turning that handle to see how non-compressible your body is. Sure it’s mostly water, but so is an orange and when you squeeze it, you’ll be left with a nicely water soluble paste. 

ummm, no. These were extremely dull cars with wacky styling. Hard pass. 

oops 

that’s true but even finding them on the surface will be next to impossible. I heard yesterday that this craft had multiple fail safe systems for it to dump the ballast in the event of power failure. It is essentially designed to come up to the surface on its own if something goes wrong. A GPS beacon would be the…

not having a simple rescue GPS beacon so this thing can be located if/when on the surface is inexcusable. 

Not surprised with Iowa. It’s essentially a drive-through state. Nothing there to see and I’ve gotten a ticket there before. It was 2am on I-80 with wide empty highway but apparently doing 70mph, which was 5 over the limit at that time, was sooooooo dangerous :rolleyes: 

this comment should be on the wall of VW quality/engineering/marketing or whatever department decided to do away with buttons 

I owned MK7 and have had MK7.5 for 3 years now. The jump from old to new, while technically still the same car, was bringing a lot of unpleasant surprises: no under driver seat drawer, no good sound deadening, no lined glove compartment, dual mass flywheel with clutch that feels so much worse than in MK7, some other…

same here, and the lack of the handbrake is a dealbreaker for me as well. Looks like we’re the lucky ones to own the last good GTI as MK9 is rumored to be all electric. 

while we talk about gas stations, it always amazes me that these hot dog spinning machines are still around. Who’s the person that walks in there and thinks, “I’m going to have a nasty processed meat from the machine that was spinning it for the good part of the day or two” 

I wonder if winter tire would work to improve traction on “cricket surface” roads :) 

how will the cable attach itself even if it can be dropped to a precise point (which it cant because of the depth and currents and other things)? 

people have been doing this for a while and for other car makers’ models as well. For example I know of several people that had to buy their Rav4 Prime out of state because they were not available from dealers in Illinois. 

I’ve been driving manual for 23 years in Chicago traffic, 5 of those years were in MK7 GTI and the most recent 3 years are in MK7.5 GTI. I will disagree with you. Love my manual and it looks like i’m one of the lucky owners of the last good GTI model (6MT, better handling than MK8, Non electric like the MK9 is…
