This both looks like a lot of fun, and absolutely terrifying at the same time.

Which is just cold enough to mask the taste of Clydesdale piss.

And I saw most of them driving around a few days ago. It was the weirdest thing, 3 ELR’s went driving by, spaced just far enough apart that they didn’t notice each other, as I was waiting for a turn. Not even manufacturer cars, people bought these. I was honestly more surprised to see the ELR’s than I was seeing 2…

That doesn’t belong in the medicine cabinet, that belongs in the fridge. Best feeling on a hot sunburn is cold aloe vera.

I would not be completely against having a TT-V8 in my sportwagen.

Shorten that to one word: bicycle

Anything that you can get on craigslist for under $1000 (or even $500 in the right areas).

Counter-argument: buy them a car (or get a new car for yourself and give them your old one) and make them pay you for it. I grew up in the sticks so getting to a job without a car was difficult. They will still appreciate the car since they have to pay for it themselves, but it sure does make it easier to get a job…

Minesweeper.

Saw one on the road (probably testing or something), and it looks ... different. Kind-of awkward really. Probably because it’s narrow and tallish. Definetly reminds me of a Ridgeline or the old Explorer SportTrac’s. I can kinda see VW selling a few of these to people that were already looking at a Ridgeline or maybe a…

You could get about 800 miles of 4ft high wall ...

Dang it, you just reminded me that they don’t sell those here ... Oh well. I plan on keeping mine until it dies!

It depends on how the compensation legalese would be written. Whether the compensation is for the depreciation, or as an “I’m Sorry” compensation that is in addition to the $1000 we already got, or a compensation for the environmental damage that was caused. The goodwill package was only given out to those owners who…

Where I grew up (and my parents still live), we used to (and still do) leave our cars completely unlocked with the keys in the center console overnight. Honestly, if you wanted one of our cars so bad that you walked the 1/4 mile up our driveway (uphill as well) and we didn’t hear our dog barking up a storm, just take…

We got the goodwill package (I have a ‘14 Sportwagen TDI, leased), and it will depend on what this compensation is for: either it’s another “goodwill package” where VW is giving us money to apologize, or it’s a compensation for the depreciation that occurred in our vehicles. Either way, I think everyone is eligible…

Huh, that’s more than what I expected (which was nothing BTW). Pleasantly surprised!

I remember seeing your ‘Finger Doors’ for the hoods of tuner cars:

Torch articles are coming a LOT earlier in the day lately, I can’t get up to your level of thinking for at least another 5 hours.

Yea, I don’t know how updated this is or whether there are exceptions to the laws for manufacturers. I do know that Michigan’s front tint laws are the weirdest: only the top 4" are allowed to be tinted on the three front windows (windshield, driver and passenger side).
