Model bloat!

So is the N24 the best 24 hour race to be a spectator at?

I’m going to say gimmick, because even if it helps at the beginning, if you use it enough you’ll probably start figuring out how to reverse normally. Plus it might reduce the hilarity of boat launch ramp chaos.

Tom, your GTI articles resonate. I drive a Mk6 Golf and have been eyeing the Mk7 GTI for easily 2 years by now. Since I still owe money on my current car, I’m really in no hurry to trade up and eat the depreciation and that’s probably the only way I could be patient enough. Hopefully I can put in an order for a 3dr PP…

No question where mine ended up!

Any word on whether it’s available in Canada? I looked into the service some time ago but was disappointed that it’s basically USA only.

How about fuel flow limits? That would help things

Do the cars have permanent dash cams so we can start a new YouTube playlist? (but also for serious debugging purposes)

So can I buy one of these and just take it to track days? I’m sure that would be fun

Someday, and every year I say “next year”, I’m going to do a North American trip to visit the great driving areas. I want to skip the major cities and visit the Jalop touristy areas: US 50, Pikes Peak, California canyons, etc. Just have to find the time!

So the power is between a GTI and Golf R, but will the price be? If it is, I’m going to have to put in a word at my dealership...

I’m not against electronics (you should see my desk) but I am against replacing paying attention with electronics. If you’re sitting in a seat to do 1 job, why not focus on that single job?

You know, if I had the money, I would seriously consider this. It’s something completely off the wall and ridiculous, but at the same time so good (I’m going to guess) at what it’s supposed to do. Talk about making an entrance at your local track day!

I get to bring out my fire story again!

This looks like a great system, and the use of radio between two similar trucks has fantastic potential. Does having the system connect to the transmission mean the trucks no longer have fully manual boxes? Platooning looks interesting and I wonder how they treat idiot drivers trying to sneak into that space between…

I know everyone mentions the fake sound, but I’d like to see if your opinion changes after you’ve driven it for a while. Every time I hear the car in videos like TG and /DRIVE, it sounds plenty loud from the outside and it seems like it’s really easy to get some of that delightful audio into the cabin by opening a…

Talk about rolling to the track in style!

I’ll have you know the contents of that dumpster are private! You stick your nose in, you’ll be violating attorney-dumpster confidentiality.

I was lucky enough to see this bird on a trip to DC a couple years ago. That building is so unbelievable but there’s no question that the Blackbird is the centrepeice of it all.

Neutral: Honestly I don’t really check gas prices until I enter the receipt into Fuelly. I’m at the gas station, I need gas, so am I really going to only partly fill the tank to save $3-4?
