It seems like VW group products are really hit and miss by model/year. Like it’s either a decently reliable car, with industry average reliability...or it’s a total dumpster fire of bad design and failing parts in an endless game of whackamole.

I’ll be surprised if self-driving cars aren’t the norm by about 2050. But I also don’t expect them to exist any sooner than 2040. 

It’s even more bizarre when just a decade ago, they had the very clean jellybean Civic design. Somehow, they went from that to VROOOMMM FAKE REAR BUMPER VENTS AND HARD LINES BETWEEN BODY PANELS.

It’s going to look uglier and uglier as time goes on, too, and this overstyled to the max design trend fades out. It’s just way too cartoon spaceship-like to take seriously and I’d be self conscious driving it knowing how fugly the back half of it is.

Definitely for the base golf. It’s just OK. GTI or don’t bother. 

Yep. The Golf R is roughly $40k . 

Yep this is like saying “Hey the Golf R is only $10k more than the GTI! You’d be an idiot to *not* spend that extra 10k!”

“Mr. Land Rover, he no here”

I’m confused what going offroad has to do with fighting a pandemic, too. What part of distributing supplies and personnel to various cities and localities (all which have roads!) involves going offroad through mud? 

I’m also at a loss of how exactly a consumer 4x4 SUV is needed for a pandemic.

SALT LIFE

Hell, they don’t even need an aftermarket lightbar anymore. The purple LED headlights OEM’s are putting in stock trucks now are so high off the ground and so bright, they’ll blind the driver in front of them through the rear view mirror, even when you flip the mirror over to the dimmer setting.

2 inches? That’s irrelevant. Lifted-ass trucks, though, block the view of the road for literally everyone else not in a lifted truck or driving a semitruck or full size bus.

It’s absolutely insane to me that anyone would even consider dropping $5,000 on a 24+ year old Volkswagen that isn’t a Corrado VR6.

$5,000 for a 24-25 year old, mid-90s VW is crack pipe all day, all night.

It’s also in the new Koenigsegg hypercar and a bunch of recent Audis, Acuras, BMWs, etc.

I have some fond memories of being at a stop light on the way back from a high school basketball game, and three of us in our friend’s green 98 Explorer V6 “drag racing” our friends in a 1998 Honda CRV in the slowest stoplight race of all time. I think these both did 0-60 in like 10+ seconds.

Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson both definitely got some stuff done around season 12 or season 13 of sunny. They go from looking like naturally aging Dee and Dennis in one season, to this kinda uncanny valley plastic look (like something is just kinda off) the next. I’m not judging either, because Hollywood as we all…

If you’ve watched a lot of Sunny, it’s very obvious because her face just doesn’t move the same way it did in the first 10ish seasons...like it’s stiffer and more plasticky. It’s especially jarring if you watch an episode from the season before the apparent change and one from the season after it.

Our friend group knew about it from the Funny or Die clip like 7 years ago, which had us on the floor. I’ve gotten several other people to watch it and they all love it.
