I had a 91 non-turbo one of these and I’m right there with you. I still miss that car. $&@ing deer!

Its all academic because the house bill has 0% chance of passing (think of it as a statement of priorities). The Senate is where the negotiations are actually taking place with the plan being that whatever the Senate comes up with being passed via unanimous consent in the House.

I don’t think you understand secondary effects. The money for the Postal Service for example is because it is likely to go bankrupt due to the virus and the reduction in mail it has brought. Also, even if you think well that’s fine poorly run businesses should go bankrupt there are a couple of other considerations. 1.…

Its funny how our most socialist institution, sports, are our most favorite and are only truly accessible to the uber wealthy. Sure anyone can buy a ticket to a game but only the super rich benefit from them in any tangible way. And yes the players benefit financially but they put their long term health on the line as…

The Model X, especially from the rear, is the ugliest mass produced vehicle ever. It makes the Aztec look like a beauty pageant queen. 

Not to mention many new cars, including my 19 Jetta GLI have electronic parking brakes making this virtually impossible.

There would be one unintended group that would benefit from this concept if it were implemented. I used to work with mentally ill kids. Mostly kids that had severe ADHD, Asperger’s, bi-polar disorder, etc. And they, as most kids do, loved to play videogames or tabletop games. It was a way for their support person and…

My headline would be “Neighbors Call for David Tracy to ‘Build the Wall’”

Its on all VWs and I just try very hard not to look at it in my GLI. If I were a bit more OCD I would set it to 12 o'clock and only use the steering wheel buttons. But then I'd become an insane rage monster anytime someone touched the actual knob so it's eyes on the road for me.

I’m betting it sells for a crack pipe price but whoever designed it was definitely on shrooms at the time. 

House rules: 1. If you pick Oddjob you’re an asshole.

My rule of thumb is that you can fit as many cars as you have doors. One double wide door is almost always hiding 1 car parked in the middle. 2 smaller doors is much more likely to be holding space for 2 cars. Though all that would go out the window with some of the monster SUVs. An Atlas, Pilot, or Telluride isn't…

Our neighbors run a business and have a minimum of 6 cars/trucks street parked (on both sides of the street) so I think I'm good there but that is an interesting statistic.

And this is why I fight the good fight to make sure all the junk I’m not allowed to get rid of gets stacked in such a way that both cars fit in the garage. It’s also why we have a car wash subscription. The $50 per month gives me peace of mind about the condition of the undercarriage, a chance to look over everything…

Love the article but I honestly expected to see headphones on the list. I just recently looked them up in my state and to my surprise they had a whole article on common misconceptions on what is illegal while driving and headphones are completely legal.

Te 19 GLI Autobahn is a bad comparison handling wise. It doesn’t have the active dampers. For those you had to get a 35th anniversary edition. Of course then you lose some tech and the leather seats. But for me that was an easy decision my 35th corners like it’s on rails in sport but comfort makes it a capable daily…

You also forgot that we have the most expensive and inefficient health care care s of any developed nation. And that our defense spending is multiples more than any other nation, with arguably worse results. (I mention defense spending because a common complaint of deficit Hawks is that we spend too much money on…

I have 2 kids to take to school daily so this now replaces the F1 as my dream daily supercar. I also have a wife and she wouldn't understand, but hopefully she'd get over it with me only having to sleep in it for a few nights.

I would go GLI over the Accord Sport. Both have manuals and similar horsepower, but the GLI gets a limited slip differential and a better shifting manual. And even though the Accord is likely to be more reliable the 6year 72k mile warranty on the VW evens things out. I have 2 kids in my GLI and their crap in my GLI…

The Trump administration argument is on its face a dumb, overly simplistic argument. Of course the amount of fuel burned has a direct relationship to the amount of raw emissions. But, and this is a huge but, there are technologies already in existence that can mitigate emissions output. I mean every car has one from…
