Some of those red states are doing their best to catch up:

They are killing off the TT RS anyway and they sell only 1200 of them in the US. They could sell way more Golf Rs than that with the 5 cylinder. Fix the production problems in the engine plant and give the US an exclusive model to replace it

Another source of interesting car designs is Author Radebaugh and the closer than we think futuristic comic strips.

She stopped and fell over while trying to set the kick stand. While on the ground she realized the possibilities and setup the photo.  Could have done a better job...

This problem is not the digital dash, the problem is that they integrate a bunch of components into a single non serviceable package that forces you to replace the entire thing when one part fails. My 2017 R had a fuel gauge that was not working correctly, that required the entire cluster be replaced. Turns out that…

2d gear. If the TT goes there is no reason not to resurrect the R400 with the TTRS guts.  

Since the TT seems to be on its way out, they really need to move the R performance up to the level of the TTRS, all the competitors are passing the R as it is in the HP numbers. The current version still handles better overall, but that is not going to be the case for much longer. Making the GTI better is great, but…

Nice of Jason to go to the store to pickup a new ladder for the truck.

Removing the patina diminishes the value, everyone that watches Antiques Roadshow knows that.  

I see a dirt road there.  no biggie.

The 850 was not quite as ugly as the 740 so there is that, but the 240 still holds up as the classic boxy Volvo, especially the wagons. The reliability of the 240 was also much better and they are pretty easy and cheap to fix. They are still pretty common in the northwest, but extinct most everywhere else.

I am impressed that they found matching ugly green carpet. 

Mustang 2?

I see there is space in front for another...

Nice bumpers.

Americans are just too fat for small cars.

Had a 1974 years ago, a blast to drive and plenty of room for a 6'3" person like me. I hope those boxes have spare boots for the drive shafts that exit the transmission. There is no actual seal to keep the oil in, just a plastic bushing that fits over the shaft with some reverse threaded grooves that sort of move most…

Truck throws up..

If it depreciates like the Cayenne Turbo, it will be relatively affordable in a few years. 

The sound of disposable income.
