I’ve wanted one of these ever since I saw Jeremy review it on Top Gear. NP.

-100 for not even one PaRappa the Rapper reference.

Well put. I think H20 should change venue. It’s becoming a bit of an automotive Burning Man but at the same time, it’s time to have a serious talk about whether OC is the right place to even have the show anymore. OC folks don’t want the show, the cops have declared war on all the fun, and there’s nothing really…

I’ve always enjoyed the VW scene. I’ve been into VWs since a teenager (inherited it) and after more than 10 years owning 3 VWs, driving countless others, going to shows/shops/hang-outs, I’m still kind of bummed I don’t own a VW anymore. The scene is so diverse, and yes, there is brodom abound, but for the most part,…

I got my 2016 2 door GTI manual base literally days after diesel gate. There were so many on the lot, I could have thrown a rock and hit one. Got an insane deal, mostly because everyone else was going for the DSG. I ended up trading it in, but I saved a considerable amount of money on that purchase because it was a…

I mean the original Mazda 6 of this generation with the manual had a slow poke engine. If you were looking for a four door manual car for driving pleasure, it had the least appealing engine in its class. I totally believe that the customer demand for it was lacking, but it didn’t come out the gate swinging with…

You won’t see a meaningful difference looking at screenshots. You have to actually play the game to really see the benefit of 4K. I recently bought a PC and a 55 inch 4K television and I tested almost all my Steam games on 1080p and 4K and even for older titles, 4K just looks leaps and bounds better.

Have you ever been to OC? Because you get all of that anyway, H20 weekend or not.

Ok as an avid lover of the NPS, its parks, and America’s Beauty, and as a Annual Pass holder (buy it, so worth it), I really don’t know what to make of this. The NPS has a maintenance backlog that is billions deep. $11-12 billion. And they NEVER get the funding they need. Maintaining National Parks is so expensive,…

Come on man....when you can count on one hand the amount of POC drivers NASCAR has had in nearly 45 years (!), it is newsworthy. I mean this is a sport that has been known for overt racism from fans pretty much since forever.

They’re also cheaper. I crossed shopped the BRZ with Mustangs and I couldn’t find a dealer that wanted to cut me a starting price under $26k. The negotiations on my Mustang started at $19k!  

Haha sorry you had to go through that. That is distinctively a VW problem. I go to a very trusted shop about 2 hours away from home to get VW suspension work done for some of the reasons you mentioned. It’s a massive PIA and I’ll happily fork money over to have someone else deal with it.

Wow, City fan gets Sheikh money and has the audacity to call Spurs a “small” club. Just because we didn’t get a sugar daddy to run up our wage bill doesn’t make Spurs a “small” club. Our chairman runs a tight wage structure because it maintains financial solvency and facilitates transfer market flexibility. Do you…

The Pony Car is such a beautiful piece of Americana.

Great wrap job but damn that Type R is just...I don’t know. Looks only a mother could love. I’m becoming increasingly intrigued by the new Si though.

You’re totally missing my point. Why would you put a V8 in a Golf? The whole point of modding the Golf R is that there is a proven mod catalog that interfaces well with the factory platform. There aren’t any companies making LS swaps for a Golf R for a reason. What you can’t seem to understand is that instead of…

$55k is the total cost with mods. Obviously there’s no brand new $55k Golf R on lots in the US. At $55k, it can reliably (relatively speaking) push close to 400hp/400 lb-ft, hold 4 people, hold an entire aisle’s worth of shit from Costco whilst holding 4 people, and get 30 mpg on the highway. Just because it’s not a…

I was replying to your point that the Golf R isn’t “$70K fast”. Because it can be for a lot less than $70k. Some dealers warranty tune work. There are at least half a dozen dealers that install APR stuff in house and cover it under warranty. Just saying, you’ve got $70 to spend, you spend $55k on a fast ass Golf and…

A Stage 2 Unitronic chip tune and downpipe would like to have a word with you. If you scoff at 397hp and 368 lb-ft of torque, then hey, more power to ya.

Thanks for the link. I really like this car, and I’m thinking of trading in my V6 Mustang for it (I know, I know). I wish the Sport 2.0T came in a stripper model with no or little options. $30k is drifting out of my price range. Negative equity would be involved. But I would save a ton on insurance and gas. And I’m…
