I’ve had my 2016 Audi TTS for 5 years now. Next summer I’ll start shopping for a 2-3 year old TTRS. I test drove one last fall just to confirm that the extra cylinder and 100 hp make a big difference.

I used to travel to Japan for work, frequently. One of the highlights of that trip each time was when we’d finished our business and boarded the 90 minute train back to Tokyo. I’d always purchase 2 ikura onigri and 2 Asahi tallboys from the train station 7-11. $8 total; riding in style!!

My TTS has a virtual cockpit screen, and that’s it. I love it.

I turned in my V-card in a 79 Toronado with a nearly identical interior. We were completely ensconced in red velour.
NP for nostalgia.

Hmmm.... this is hard. It’s not like there’s one person there who makes $56B a year. (I know that salary request got tossed, but you get the idea.)

When I was in high school my dad drove a ‘79 Olds Toronado with a massive front bench seat covered in red velour. On his way home one night he stopped to pick up KFC for the family, and the person packing our bag put the container of hot mashed potatoes on top of the container of gravy.

Somebody in front of me puts on their turn signal but then lazily uses only half of the turn lane to make the corner, leaving the other half of the car in the lane that goes straight thru. There’s no point in having a turn lane if you don’t get your car out of traffic going straight!

They simply don’t exist. Every truck stop has a…

Yeah - Max wins every race. But if you’re willing to ignore him and follow the battles to finish 2-10, it’s a very compelling season!

This is not illegal, it’s just frowned upon.  Like counting cards.

Southern MN. We get tons of powdery snow in the middle of winter, but lots and lots of heavy stuff in March and April

I’ve got no problem plowing thru heavy snow with my Audi TTS.  Same chassis, but maybe even lower than the R.

Minnesota is fantastic.

Related: I spend a lot of time riding my bicycle through remote areas on gravel roads. I routinely see bald eagles on these rides and every time I get so angry.
All I can think of is all the people who lost their jobs when we could no longer make DDT.
Thanks, Obama.

Putting a YJ body onto a CJ7 is the grossest thing I’ve seen on the internet in years.

You’re really an expert, huh?

Boring.

I have three hacks from my days of owning a 1980 Jeep CJ-7 in graduate school:
