DON’T BUY A GERMAN CAR IF YOU’RE NOT PREPARED TO FRONT THE COSTS TO REPAIR A GERMAN CARLHGFJKHNDFVDSJKVNVNWEOJKNCV.

Can we get someone worth $10 billion or more to buy them up and reshape them into what they used to be please?

I think the 550 has aged far better than a 360... I think the 550 will go down as one of the most beautiful and clean shapes Ferrari has ever made.

I hope nobody cares when I die. I hope my life is not a tremendous burden on anyone, and my death, the same as well.

A civilized normal society is not what we live in. Maybe if we lived in a world full of cupcakes, puppies, and rainbows, I would be more inclined to believe that caring for other people tremendously is

Tavarish, this may be the first article you’ve written in a long time that I wholheartedly agree with. I believe that Ferrari owes Pininfarina the business they took away, and I also believe that they benefitted greatly from working with them as well.

Simply put, the difference in absolute beauty and absolute

Did you not have a dad in your life to teach you this Dog-Eat-Dog stuff?

Honestly, the lady was fine. My girlfriend was fine. You’re blowing this way out of proportion. Even if the lady had been injured, what’s done is done, and beyond my control.

Really, try to rationalize with logic rather than emotion.

FWIW, my name is TBAL, and TBH this BTTF stuff is OTT and overplayed.

True ‘dat.

Wait... you stereotype, and then wonder why I’m not more compassionate?

There’s a fine line between hypocrisy and idiocy my internet comrade.

Yeah she’s fine too.

Also, dog eat dog world man. Get with the picture.

Lucky that you had a dealership kind enough to offer to trace it rather than do a simple protocol “guidebook fix” and charge you up the ying-yang for it, like I did.

If you and another 2 commenters are commenting that you have the same issues, then clearly there is a problem that needs to be addressed within VW... yet

Nope, no overboost at all.

I thought so too. I suspect it was a problem with the Engine management system, but nobody at Audi would hear me out on my theory, at all, because I was nothing more than a “Walk-In”...

Whatever. What’s done is done.

I agree. It’s not that I didn’t have the money - I just don’t believe I should fix a problem that is on every 2.0T vehicle VW sells, and should be recalled. I kept erasing the problem from the computer, and it would fix itself for a short while.

Clearly it was a bad read on the EMS’s side, and not the actual problem I

They said something about carbon buildup around the valves, and something about changing some other part. All in all, it was ridiculously expensive.

The entire rear exhaust assembly was pushed into the rear wheel well.

... On another note, I wasn’t too upset when my girlfriend totaled it rear ending a Mercedes SUV at 50km/h. Payout was what I paid, and because my girlfriend had been driving, my insurance only went up marginally. Thankfully she was okay as well, which is most important.

The car was an electrical gremlin the entire

Had an Audi A3 S-Line for about a year. Wonderful little car, with the 2.0T. Basically an AWD GTi, and fairly well built... until it went into limp mode, which often happened when I needed the cars power the most.

I’d be driving onto a freeway, up the on ramp, and accelerating to 100KM/H on the crest of the apex when

1 too few engines.

Why hasn’t someone yet figured out a way to put 2 2JZ-GTE’s inline in the back of a Savanna, in line, with massive single turbos on each.

First engine could run turbo boost on the low end, and the second on the high end. Make them each have 1700WHP, and use the roof to vent in cool air to them.
