Years ago in my hometown, a local kid carrying 4 passengers was driving like an asshat, lost control and drove straight into a tree at like 80mph, killing himself and 2-3 others. A roadside memorial immediately started with little tokens and such being left, including things like a high school t-shirt being nailed to…

Wait, those are roadside memorials for car accident deaths?? Holy shit, they were EVERYWHERE in Greece. I bet we saw a thousand of them just driving from Athens to Meteora.

A coworker of mine has a newer Forester and I’ve ridden in it a few times. The interior reminds me of the main reason I got rid of my ‘12 WRX and haven’t looked back. It’s like an injection molding machine threw up in there, hard plastic everywhere. Everything is just so goddamn cheap looking and feeling with random…

Seems kinda sad the GTS is the best BMW can come up with to make a ‘track-ready’ M4. The spoiler looks terrible, just like the last GTS. The meth/water injection is cool, but you could do the same thing for like $500 to any car (I’ve had a meth injection system on both of my Mustangs). It still has 20s on it for…

Because it’s a lot of old guys that naturally get up at 4:30am. But I agree, I’m maybe 20 minutes away from Katie’s Cars and Coffee and I’ve only been twice because I’m either sleeping (or maybe cycling) that early.

Good for you? Guess you should buy an overpriced Type-R then.

Somehow, I agree with this. But I don’t see that ever happening. And I still think it needs AWD or at least every available safety system/electronic feature that comes on the Golf R to justify that price.

I understand that FWD isn’t a turnoff for some people. A lot of my friends who once drove 600whp Cobras bought Focus ST’s for daily drivers because they were cheap and fun. If Ford had styled the ST up a bit more, gave it 300hp and priced it in the mid 30's (basically a FWD RS), I highly doubt any of those guys would…

Oh. Well that makes the gif a LOT less impressive.

I’ll agree with Arrivederci on this one. The Type R styling is a bit more over the top, so it’d be harder to justify to a 35 year old. Plus I think the price point is just too high for a FWD car. Everything else in that range has AWD and anything FWD sells for almost $10k less. And for me, the AWD isn’t about putting…

Maybe he just murders every camera man that catches him spinning out during a drift. Check out the last Grand Tour episode where they showed outtakes of the hosts spinning out cars on the track. Chris probably makes sure any footage of him looping a car gets deleted instantly and threatens the family members of all…

You should always know that any engine in a street legal car probably has 10% more power left in it due to emissions equipment and reliability factors.

Do some research man. The dude owns quite a few Ferraris and has proven many times he can drive them wherever he wants. Check out “yonly65" on IG...

I had this same scenario happen yesterday in the midst of this ‘winter storm’ we just had. It had snowed/iced about 2 inches, some roads being snow covered, others just slushy and mostly wet. While driving down a wet, very slightly slushy 3 lane road, I passed a cop who was doing around 30 in the fast lane surrounded…

Thanks for chiming in, Ben. This proves that even the pinnacle of high performance “road” cars still can’t hold a candle to a well built race car. It amazes me how much aero makes a difference.

How do you live in a place that rural with a driveway that long that gets that much snow and not have a truck or at least a SxS with a plow??

What I would give for that much land that gets that much snow. I’ll trade you for my current 10' long driveway not big enough to park a car in that is currently covered in maybe…

Not to mention the prices just drastically dropped and supply is higher than ever. The dealer down the street from me was selling these at 1-2k over sticker last year and usually had only one on the lot. Now they have 7 in stock and all of them are 3-4k below MSRP.

Personally, there is just something about the…

My main question is how much of that aero styling is actually functional and backed up by data? Since the car is so track focused, I assume at least the wing is functional? What about all the little vortex generators and intakes in the grille and exits in the fenders, hood scoop, diffuser, etc??? Or did they just…

Styled the car to appease a 20 year old. Too bad 99% of them can’t afford it.

So the R-line might have basically the Golf R drivetrain. In a vehicle that is more spacious on the inside and better looking on the outside? This is relevant to my interests...
