Wrong way... It likely increases the fuel delivered. They say the fix doesn’t adversely impact mileage, but I’m sure that simply means it still meets EPA numbers... which it would because EPA numbers were arrived at with the cars in test mode. The real reason people loved TDIs is because they got much better mileage…

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

4 years old is a fine age to teach the boy the wonders of a sleeper.

I agree that it is a good choice for a young Jalop. I love the sleeper idea.

Up until Dad hammers the gas and destroys the rear tires in a cloud of tire smoke and noisy violence....

I bought one in Jungle Green Metallic last year.

Everyone else in the valley might - but then again, dad has already proven he doesn’t care about that. The kid is a different story - he’s a budding jalop. The SS is a sleeper - the kid will probably appreciate that with a little bit of coaching - especially after experiencing a few canyon carves and a good burnout or…

The child will know better.

Yeah, a Tesla in SoCal isn’t interesting unless he can find a roadster.

For the $40k-$50k price range, he could get an LS swapped FD. It might be sacrilege in some circles, but at least it would be relatively reliable.

Hey, Elmer’s glue is a pretty exciting pre-lunch entrée for young children.

You want to impress that lil guy?

An RX7 is about as quick as a V6 accord in a straightline. Actually, the Honda is probably faster.

2009 or later 997 Porsche 911. No IMS to deal with. Is within budget. Can put the kids in the back for short family trips for a while (until they get older and get too big).

The price range is right. It’s fast. Not everyone in the Valley will have one, and as a bonus, it is practical for a family of 4.

Manual Chevy SS

No kidding! I would too! Just recently we had a new vehicle delivery (brand new Tahoe) and we had not actually shown a delivery to GM yet. The incentives changed mid-day and we called the customer to come back and sign some new paperwork that would allow them an extra 2K in money off. It was awesome! And they were so…

I left a dealership after signing a contract but without financing finalized. They got back to me with an issue after a couple days... sorry, you have to come back in and sign this paperwork because we got your loan through a local bank at a lower interest rate.

We did. I quoted the woman on the phone back to dealer and the financier and then put the keys on the table and asked for our old keys back. They grabbed the manager and the head of financing who tried to talk us out of it and then they came back saying that they were able to convince the bank to accept the old deal.

I actually have had a dealership call me and say I was overcharged (out of state purchase, confusion about the sales tax reciprocity agreement between the states). Did not need to sign a new contract though, they just mailed a check. Good way to earn repeat business.
