Look, a white Chrysler LeBaron convertible is explicitly noted in the frankly magnificent Cake song “Short Skirt Long Jacket”. I’ll allow it.

he should have Kragled it.

I have to disagree. the Tesla is a far FAR better looking version of the same form factor. I’m not a huge fan of the Audi A7 silhouette, but when a RS7 rings in Panamera money, I like it a lot better than the Panamara. I would also argue that the BMW 6 Series GT sedan is also far better looking.

no, it’s really that bad in person, too. There’s a few of them in the office lot and they’re just homely cars.

classic VAG; someone comes up with a good idea. Rather than take part in that idea, let’s build our own version of the exact same thing - from scratch- and then plot to take over the world with it. Never mind being years behind the R&D curve or that it’ll cost billions in dollars and lost time to come up with

it’s a b8.5, so like.... no.

I really couldn’t care less about the personal vehicles, but autonomous buses and shipping container chassis make so much sense that everyone should be screaming for them.

must have been an older one.

have you ever been here?

and what broke on your S4? they’ve been pretty dead bone reliable except for the horrible DSG. (I went stick)

I would so ardently disagree that my disagreeing gland might inflame and perforate. Ever seen what a failed HPFP does to a TDI car? (not just the engine, the whole car!) They gotta tear the whole chassis down to the bones to get at everything. Better off throwing away the car and getting a new one.

because they have dedicated funding and are obligated by Charter and FTC to spend their funds on “State of Good Repair”. Not what the whim of the Governor is, not to spend it on State Police overtime costs, not to prop-up a money losing light rail system, and not to make a direct profit. Just to take care of the
