YES. In fact, the past five (5) Audis we’ve bought or leased from new have been manuals. From our first 2006 A3, to my A4, to my Father in Law’s A4, to my S4 to my wife’s A4 we picked up from the dealer last week, they have all been new, and most of them special order. My wife’s new one was the last stick Audi had in…

and that’s a good thing.

I disagree. They have feelings and they love you back.

If you’ve ever owned a 5 year old Ford truck, you’ll understand how you can justify the price of a new one in service costs and regular tetanus booster shots.

it’s price competitive with a F150 (or even an F250). the crew cab is nice, but it only comes with the vestigial bed (?!?).

this is a problem everywhere. the problem is that most builders have figured out that the majority of the cost to build, well.. anything, is in the labor to do so. Not the square footage, not the marble countertops, not the reclaimed wood floor (ok, maybe in the reclaimed wood floor).

even a tanker going boom shouldn’t have dropped a good condition bridge span. 

1st) love the grille emblem delete. it’s amazing how much it cleans up the appearance of the car.

you’re thinking in terms of someone with the privilege of owning a car that can break down. For a lot of people who don’t have irreplaceable job skills, or can’t afford to deviate from a fixed budget.

Hydrogen fuel cells?

noise absorbing pavements ARE NOT a better solution. They fail prematurely.
You’d be lucky to get 10-12 years of of good traditional pavement. the sound absorbing garbage gets you 3-5 before it’s a moonscape. Then all you hear are truck tires pounding the potholes and crashing noises from panic avoidance lane changes…

it’s official: Audi has become the modern Buick.

why a golf for comparison and not a GTI? seems unfair

stop wasting time and money on that iron pig of a V8, put a mid-90's fuel injected 4.0L straight six in that thing and never look back. There’s BUCKETS of aftermarket support for that swap.

This worries me. They probably picked him due to the profitability of Ram and Jeep, which... probably has nothing to do with him. It’s a product of the moment and current trends. I don’t want that guy. That guy had an easy life. A soft life. I want the guy (or gal) who scraped their fingers to the bone clawing a…

I mean...  I love it. LOVE IT, but Anakin just looks wrong. like poorly rendered wrong.

what’s the point of Porsche spy photos, anyway? the 911 looks basically the same as it always has, the SUV thingies also all look the same, but just uglier. They’re as bad as Jeep Wrangers. “Oh look, there’s a new vent on the side!”

*takes deep breath from exasperation of constantly correcting this misconception*

Dark World was inspired by the Benny Hill / Scooby Doo sight gag where people run into one door in a hallway and then later run out a completely implausible door in the same hallway for comedic effect. 

it’s typical to design bridges at a ‘neutral’ temperature of 68* with a range down to -120F and up to 120F, depending on the region and owner’s design criteria. Actual steel temperatures can exceed those numbers when left to bake in the sun, and bridge foundations DO MOVE, particularly older movable bridges like this…
