These things are awesome. There’s one right down the road from me with Teddy Bear wheels in matching colors.

Eh. As long as my original Xbox One can play new releases, I’ll stick with it and put the money towards a much-needed PC rebuild. I definitely need to invest in external hard drives for the Xbone and PS4 though...

With a car that large, you go full wagon or bust. The whole hunchback thing just looks wrong. Shorten it up, give it 2 doors and it might kind of look presentable. Right now it just looks like a crossover viewed in a bad aspect ratio.

How does it look in person? From photos I can’t tell if it is actually pulling off all those grilles and scoops and angles.

I’d like to own all 3 drive types eventually, but I’m still at step one with the GTI. I went the rear sway bar route with 17x8 wheels, 235/40 summer tires, and super stiff suspension, which is probably as good as it’s going to get for handling without getting expensive as hell. I’d really like to get some track time,…

I went looking around for VR4s on Autotrader just now, and the most expensive one is some maniac trying to sell an SL for $30k. I can’t decide which is worse now. There’s also a Spyder VR4, which is actually rare as shit, for $27k, which I’d say is actually reasonable for someone looking for that specific car.

More cars need to go this route. Sure, sell the GTI with 4 doors, a sunroof, DSG, leather seats, a sporty but comfortable suspension, and sound deadening for a quiet ride. HOWEVER. Please also sell a GTI with 2 doors, no sunroof, manual transmission, mechanical LSD, stripped-down cloth interior, no-compromise…

Lego Island was one of the first video games I ever played, and it hooked me. Lego Racers on the N64 was also a huge part of my childhood. I loved making custom cars in that game. I think a lot of the newer “Lego ____” games are a little played out, but Lego Star Wars is one of my favorites for sure. I feel bad that I…

I wonder how much of an impact car ads have in general on sales. I can understand a not-so-well-known manufacturer getting their name out there, like Alfa coming back to the states. I can also understand luxury brands advertising their lease specials, as those probably do snag a bunch of business. Beyond that...why?…

I wonder how this impacts older used models outside of the gently used range. Will their prices drop as well, or hold steady? I’m more in the market for something pre-2010 that MSRP’ed for $40,000 or higher but can be had for less than $15,000 now. Most of the specific models I’ve been eyeing have held steady for at…

Don’t bag your grass either. Or your leaves. If you do, your garbage man hates your fucking guts. Set the mower up for mulch and deal with it. Sticks are kind of unavoidable, so we won’t blame you for it unless it’s a massive tree limb.

I’ll buy it anyway in hopes that they’ll make a sequel with my money. One of my favorite games on the 360, and a current-gen sequel would be fantastic. I’d buy it for every platform. Seriously.

And here I am, still waiting for the Polo and Polo GTI to come to the States. Sigh.

I’m a little confused about the parameters. Does it need to seat 4 comfortably, or can it be a 2-seater? Does he want a brand new car, or just new to him? Anyway, if we’re talking new I’d go slightly above the set budget and get an M2 with a manual transmission. It’s unique in the sense that most people just jump for…

I’ve never driven a Boxster/Cayman because I’m a poor, but if I were to make a terrible financial decision I think I’d look into a 987 Cayman S. It still has the beefy 6 cylinder, still has hydraulic power steering, and is the cheapest of the bunch. Now that I think of it, pretty much all of my dream cars have 6…

My experience was much different. I beasted the first phase because I had maxed out hearts, stamina, and armor by the time I decided to fight Ganon, plus a shit ton of shields to break from fucking up my counters. The second phase kicked my ass though because I assumed Link had automatically equipped the special bow…

I just looked up the average number of car fires per year in the United States. It’s 150,000. I really hate the news media’s sensationalism when it comes to shit like this. It’s strange to me that so much effort can be put into producing a story for a major news outlet, yet so much information is left out.

I’m a big fan of taking a car with “back seats” and turning it into a 2-seater with practical storage room. I’ve never really seen the point in 911s, Mustangs, and other 2-door sporty cars having those afterthought rear seats. Then again I have no children and no friends, so my GTI is a 2-seater now. How does it do…

Where’d the turbo six go. Give it to me.

I’ve always been told when it hits 2 solid weeks of highs above 45, you make the switch. I tend to switch a tad early as long as snow isn’t in the forecast.
