I think earlier production Mk7 GTIs didn’t have any rhyme or reason to the badge color, though that’s supposed to be sorted now. Brake calipers are a dead giveaway, though I believe the covers can be fitted to non-PP brakes as well.

Mud flaps are almost forced onto dealers order for stock as ‘port installed’ options.

Can it go off any sweet jumps?

Not possibly a bubble? This ignores the single most important economic principle, and it happens to also be the most fickle: taste.

At one point, a pile of Beanie Babies could be worth a small fortune. Same with Furbies or Light Brights. It can be argued that those are even easier to move around than a car, and…

Jeeps, too.

I’ve done back-to-back 900 mile days (ended up being 1600 miles in 41 hours) on a Ducati Monster. Coast to coast in less than 39 hours on a K1600 sounds like a cakewalk.

I know you haven’t been a big fan of Harley in the past and likely didn’t pay much attention to the lineup over the years, but neither of these are particularly new ideas. I’m finding it hard to be excited over either of these...

Well, no... not a BRZ. But a BRZ is all about handling - if you’re going to jack that by raising the ride height, then why not raise the roof with it.

I was more talking about a crossover like an Escape vs. a regular car like a Focus - there’s less than 5" difference from floor pan to roof.

Have you seen a regular car lately? They’re tall as shit.

Did you read the article?

How do these compare to the typical kevlar-lined denim jeans out there now?

Maybe I’m missing something... I’ve driven from Albany to Detroit numerous times. You can stay on the highway the entire time and you’d have no idea that Niagara Falls was even there if there weren’t any signs for it.

Pretty sure that’s a Lambo.

This thing is begging for a Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 in the bed.

“I didn’t know she already raced” sounds a lot like a cop saying, “I didn’t know the camera was on.”

As a recently former 981 owner...
I like the front
I like the spoiler
I don’t like the tail lights
I like the steering wheel
I don’t like the round HVAC vents
I like the round HVAC vents (my girlfriend told me so)

I’m sure the turbo 4 will be a great engine and I’ll reserve judgement, but Porsches NA flat 6 is so playful and…

I had an LS1 Camaro a few years back as my only car. Had a set of snows waiting for it, but we got a freak squall in October and I was left trying to drive home in the middle of the night after a band gig with a little snow on the roads on summer tires in a RWD car. 300lbs of stuff in the back made no difference. It…

Engineers say it does this by sensing throttle inputs in a slide and allowing for slightly more slip if the rider stays on or adds gas, or tightens the rains if the rider responds more tentatively.

Exactly. So much hype over that Lincoln and when the production version appeared it seemed like a warmed over Taurus.

Cadillac has been doing the tweener sizes for a while now. Everyone says the CTS is 5-series fighter, but I’ve always found it to be between a 3 and a 5, at least in older generations.
