This isn’t a race car. It can’t race in any wheel to wheel racing series. No one gives a shit that it can make it around Laguna Seca 0.8 seconds faster before because it saves on shift time. He bought it to drive it, he’s going to enjoy it more now. The “manuals are slower” is a tired argument GTI owners make to…

I know, right? Should be doing their job like protecting them from themselves and then helping them out after they didn’t listen and paid the price. Pigs!

With a name like “IE” it’s bound to crash.

The damage looks supraficial.

Looks more like a blobfish to me...

Front could be angry fish.

Modern oils are surprisingly good, to the point that some cars with oil quality sensing can go as far as 30,000 miles on an oil change. (Part of this is that engine oil is apparently always ludicrously expensive in Europe, I’d guess because of taxation on petroleum, so the market is less sensitive to things that make…

100% this.

We ended up buying a Honda.

I really want to like Kia, but they make it so hard. Looked at a sedan a few years ago at a Kia dealer, so new the plastic was still on the seats. The seat fabric was dirty. Under the protective plastic.

So are the subways getting worse and worse every day, or are you all just burried in shit-subway content and writing articles on it as fast as you can?

Even with Perry’s gift, refilling a quarter of your workforce can’t be an easy task. Toyota has filled about 75 percent of the available positions, reports Automotive News, but it still needs to hire an additional 250 people.

“Who’d of thought.” I normally refrain from commenting on this sort of thing. But since you write professionally, I think you were after “Who’d have thought?” here.

So gasoline engines have two major problems, with modern emissions controls and injection systems.

Pretty excited to never unsee that.

Those neighbors are awfully righteous for people whose fences are made out of dildos.

Back before cellphone cameras were a thing I was on a boat on the Mississippi and we shared a lock with a boat called “Cirrhosis of the River.” I was a teenager back then and found it hilarious while my parents plainly did not. 30 years later it’s still pretty funny.

hopefully your nauti-craft wasn’t stabicraft

Nauti-Craft eh? Reminds me of naughty-craft which has gotten me in trouble a few times.

Honestly? I don’t even notice diesel fumes. Not from non-ancient individual vehicles. The smog is said to be noticable in many cities though. The worst smelling (as in, you could actually smell them) non-ancient diesels I encountered in the US. The advantage of the US is that there aren’t many diesels there though.
