My wife prefers driving taller vehicles from a higher driving position and, like you said, I just don’t get it. Her first car was an Xterra (another weird-ass car name), so I guess I can see how one might prefer a car similar to the one they learned to drive with. After that she had a Mk6 Golf TDI from 2011 until the…

It was the first Nascar race I ever watched, I’ll give ‘em that.

I’d be interested to know how many Tesla employees can afford a Tesla, even with those discounts. I know that sounds like a jab at Tesla, but seriously, I have no idea how much the average Tesla employee makes.

I ended up just preordering through Gamestop and paying tax/shipping. Every time I get an email alert that Amazon has them back, I’m too late to get my order in. I’ve also been burned on preorders in the past and been told by Amazon that they can no longer fulfill the order.

I wish they would have continued with the XT trim, as my wife loves her 2017. All they had to do was make the exterior a little more attractive (I’d say they failed here), and put nicer materials in the interior (also not really an improvement here), and she’d probably want to upgrade in a couple years.

I was holding out to buy a Switch until a cool looking special edition dropped, and I missed it by 5 hours. Damn. Maybe I can find one in person when they hit stores.

When I was building one with Ford’s configurator, I noticed there’s an option for the regular GT to get forged wheels for only a $795 increase. I’m assuming there’s some weight savings there, so I wish they’d make those available in the wider PP2 specs as a cherry on top. You know, for other people. $795 extra for…

The S4/S6 Avant option would be the coolest, but inevitable repair costs put you way over what a new 4motion Sportwagen S with a stick will cost. I guess if you want the features of an SE you’re stuck with the more expensive AllTrack, but I got my GSW for a hair over $23,000 new, and it came with the 6 year/72,000…

997.2 Carrera S because I didn’t see any mention of it in the comments and wanted to throw something different out there. They’re genuinely head turners, at least for me. I’m hoping the GTS with the turbo haunches drops in value by the time I’m in the market for something around $50k.

I think electric cars will definitely be cheaper to manufacture and drive, once the technology catches up and an infrastructure is in place. I’m assuming most of that money is going towards dedicated factories, and batteries that can propel a car for 300+ miles are still expensive as hell right now.

I know it’s not naturally aspirated anymore, but this seems like the perfect 911 right now when optioned out. Still RWD, manual, rear wheel steering, bucket seats, lightest model of the bunch. The upside of the stock turbos is that a simple tune will probably put that car in S or GTS territory if you want more power.…

Good god Chevy, who are you hiring for your design team? I honestly thought the sixth generation wasn’t bad looking for a Camaro, and the Alpha platform really gave it a performance edge. All they had to do was hone the exterior/interior styling, improve visibility (which has been a long-standing complaint), and…

Oh God I want this.

So a mild hybrid system, buttonless interior with a touch screen, potentially stuck with 4 doors on a hatch and no wagon at all, and potentially no manual transmission. I can’t imagine they’d put the 4motion system in the U.S. Golf (besides the R) like they did the Sportwagen either, so right now I’m feeling pretty…

I still have dreams of finding a first gen CRX and making a replica Mugen with a K swap. Good to know at least one got saved from a depressing end.

If everyone did this and kept their nails trimmed back, then hell yeah, sit in my car. I used to give coworkers rides home every now and then, until I started noticing all of the scratches on the glove box door and passenger handle. One dude even started lighting up a cigarette before I stopped him. The average person…

Oh God I still have Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer sitting around somewhere. One of my favorites besides THPS was Aggressive Inline. I’m honestly not sure if it was a legitimately good game, I just remember playing the shit out of it because inline skating was super cool when I was in elementary school. Also those “soap”…

I looked into a GXP coupe awhile back and realized they held on to their values like crazy, subsequently forgot all about them. Closest I got was a Mazdaspeed MX-5. The GTI is a fantastic car to get with a manual though. I learned on my Dad’s Mk4, and it’s my weekend project car now.

I’ve always seen Corvettes as “gateway” cars for enthusiasts. I’ve loved the C3 since I was a kid, even though I’ve kind of moved on to different cars. I’d still take a restomodded C2 or C3 any day though.

C3 Corvette or a 3000GT VR-4, can’t remember which came first. I just know they’re the first cars I actually noticed as a kid. The desire for an older Corvette transformed into the desire for a 240Z, and the desire for the VR-4 transformed into the desire for an AWD German Uberwagen.
