Really? Sad!

Mostly just their garbage turbos.

Assuming you have a dsg?

At least as far as the inline 4 and 5 powered VAG cars are concerned, the amount of “longevity” left on the table in exchange for power is enormous. The boost hoses are notoriously weak but replace those, and accept that the POS turbo they used will go to poo soon, really only the BW K03 was junk, and it was such a

I’m glad the second owner syndrome is alive and well even at the Veyron price point.

Viscous clutch fans are garbage. The parasitic drain on power is terrible, they sound terrible, they work like garbage when you are stopped, and the very best part is they can seize causing the fan to spin too quickly and disintegrate. This very thing happened to one of my cars. The fan went to pieces cutting my

It’s better now I think. I moved here 5 years ago and its improved since then. I can ride the Metrolink train from San Bernardino, soon Redlands, to Union station and grab the flyaway. USC actually has their own bus that is a non-stop Union station to USC and is free to their students. There are a number of other

Actually I take the bus to LAX. The “Flyaway” bus is actually pretty convenient. What Mr. Musk has come up with is not a bus. It is a miniaturized Subway. Except he wastes a lot of time and energy sending the car down to the tunnel when the people could just walk there, or use a powered staircase, or an elevating platf

Also, yellow leather and vents? I can’t figure out if it is bright yellow or just a bright tan color. The filters just don’t help. Too much. Porsche’s

Toyota and it’s marketing department can go to hell. It’s a product, not cure for cancer. Show it to us, tell us how fast it is, take some deposits, and start working on the next one. I honestly think the only people this is teasing is a bunch of rich WASP-y 16 year olds who know SUPRA (tm) and think this will be some

I would put myself in the”newbie” camp, but I can understand there are multiple sides to this issue. I don’t like seeing the histrionics, but they do serve a purpose in a game where the Ref might be on the other side of the pitch and miss a blatant foul because of X,Y, or Z.  Embiggening the effect serves to ensure

I hadn’t seen that they had increased the speed ratings of the tire in the past. Is there any information about the load ratings? The tires on my mid-size sedan are rated for quite a bit higher than the 800ish lbs that the G-159 is, something around 1200lbs per corner. If nothing material changed about the design of

Facts are important here. These are the specifications for the “horrible” tire in question. Load rating->equates to around 850 pounds that can be safely put on each tire. Speed rating->70 km/h or 40 mph. This is not and was never intended to be a freeway speed tire.

I’ll be honest. You get used to it.

As a former Idahoan, and with family still there, your statement “anything better to do in Idaho” is exactly why this exists. Sunset in the northern reaches happens around 3:30pm in December/January and after all the “outdoor activities”, fwiw it’s like Boulder-they talk about being in the mountains more than actually

They were merely allowing for your right to identify as whatever gender you want instead of supporting the patriarchy and using a demeaning term like madam. This is now a gender neutral term.
