You’re looking for the “Asshole Assistance Package” which is another $3k. The good news is it comes with a complementary iPhone to stare at while you cut people off.

I would improve Audi’s sales by 1 entire vehicle if they’d sell me an RS3 hatch with a stick. Dead serious, I’d go buy a brand new one right now if I had the option.

“Oh you wanted tires? That will be part of the M-sport UltraDouche package. For an extra $4k we’ll put tires on and include a special horn that only poor people can hear.”

More efficient in the MPG sense maybe, but that’s usually due to gearing and not technology. Easy to get more MPGs when you have 8 or 9 speeds instead of 5 or 6.

I know a lot of BMWs come with run-flats but this seems excessive.

I had a DSG Dieselgate TDI so I’m also familiar with how they are on a daily basis. I didn’t mind, but you’re right that grandma would not approve.

Dual-clutch transmissions are just about equal to actual manuals in terms of fuel efficiency/power loss, there’s no loss to torque converter slip like there is in a normal auto.

Can’t see volume knob in this pic, does it go to 11?

Eh, synchros eventually go too if you really get a lot of miles out of it (think 200k+). Even then it’s not really “broken”, just more of a pain in the ass to operate.

Is the dogfighting ring in a public location? If so, not exactly “cool” but definitely not illegal. You have a right to be in public even if other people in public are doing something illegal nearby.

Compared to what you own David that VW might as well be a fucking Camry. You’re not gonna have to weld anything onto that VW for at least a decade!

I’m a white dude who grew up going to some pretty conservative churches, and I’ve never heard anything about “no interracial marriages”. There were some very fervent racists at these churches but they at least had the decency to own their opinions rather than hide behind non-existent Bible passages. They’d definitely…

It’s especially ironic given how much time he spent on Project POStal. THAT wasn’t too far gone...

Something akin to Top Gear’s “Worst cars that communism built” would be wonderful.

You have far more faith in humanity than I do.

As someone who was recently a pallbearer, “further off the ground” is not a feature you want in a hearse.

No one who is running for President wants the office of President to be any less powerful though. They all hate that Trump is doing this, but not a single one of them will mind that precedent has been set when they take over.

This is part of the reason I take my Golf R to a specialty Euro shop (it’s also so far from stock that I don’t trust the VW techs to know what they’re looking at). There’s always all kinds of interesting Porsches, Bimmers and Alfas in there, so I figure if they’re gonna go hoon something they have far more interesting…

They’re standing around on a sidewalk is what they’re doing, in no sane world is that illegal. If police decide the crowd is too large and causing a public safety issue they can break that up without citing anyone for anything.

That’s just it though, if I show up at one of these and stand on the sidewalk watching it, I’m not doing anything otherwise illegal (loitering perhaps) and I’m not infringing on anyone’s rights. If I’m assembling to watch what happens on a road, that is peaceable. If no one was racing and me and my buddies wanted to…
