3rd Gear: Wanna Buy A VW Dealership?

What sucks for me is that if there even is a diesel pump at the station , it is almost ALWAYS one of the furthest ones away (makes sense though, more room for large vehicles to maneuver around).

Found it:

Each of the cars in the line rests on its own hydraulic lift so they can raise or lower the car when needed. I remember watching a documentary (maybe a How it’s Made segment) on this factory and it is pretty cool. Like an assembly line version of how they assemble the Veyron (that may not be a good analogy but it…

The reason for the low production numbers is that the European car market is very different than the American car market in that they order their cars more often than just buying one off the lot. That is even more prevalent in the luxury car market. So it makes sense that their production is so low because most, if…

LIES!!!! Those beautiful bastards can pass tons of things!!!! Slow moving semi-trucks, grandparents in the left lane, farm tractors, some cyclists, the possibilities are endless!!!!

Only because it weighs 10 lbs and it happens to be over the rear axle ...

Direct injection may be noisy but if you made the air piping a little cleaner that would not be a bad engine bay to look at.

At least VW has the brains to use a torx head on these, which makes it a little easier to remove without rounding the heads. Honda had the smarts to use a self-rounding phillips head on these. So if you don’t have an impact screwdriver to remove these little bastards, you will round the heads, and therefore be forced…

All GMC’s come standard with projector HID’s. The better option just comes with LED surrounds, which this has.

My mother is looking for a new crossover and she is looking at the Journey, and I am desperately trying to get her to look at ANYTHING ELSE!!!!!!

I was just about to eat a pudding cup for lunch. Now I have to throw it away. I was looking forward to that too ...

Kinda makes me glad that damn near EVERY manhole cover, frame, etc. the is installed in Michigan pretty much has to come from East Jordan Iron Works up near Traverse City. Makes everything extremely expensive but it is nice to know that it is all coming from in state.

Aww, that’s not the video I was hoping for ...

Something I ran into was the “prescribed test driving route” that took me down all of the nicer roads in the area, completely skipping the potholled hellscapes that I am used to driving on. Luckily, I found a friend that let me drive their car (same type I was looking at, just a different model year) down the terrible…

Ford of Australia agrees.

On par with that is when you have the audio playing in the background, mixing with the sound, but you can’t find the ad that it belongs to!!! That is why AdBlock is the single greatest thing ever for the internet.

Yay no-fault state!!!!

Had this issue when my last car gave up the ghost. Wasn’t in the best financial position at the time so I thought about getting a beater that was just good enough to be a daily driver for a year or two. Almost every used car lot I went to was exactly what you described.

Can confirm, had the heater core spring a leak a few winters ago (white smoke pouring out of my vents so thick that everyone driving alongside me on 696 probably thought I was having one hell of a good time in there), and I couldn’t afford to take it to a shop at the time to get it replaced. So I researched on how…
