President Trump

Im open to it too. There is a whole trend in China to have women vacation in the US as their due dates approach. I'm all for the Central Americans coming here. Their food is better and they want to be here and work and live here. The Chinese are doing it to for shits and giggles. Seems wrong. "...

I have accepted a new job where I will be traveling much less and I will now be commuting daily. The commute will be long, 30ish miles each way depending on route. Traffic may blow but I'll li...

It is a fairly pricy tire, I think they were around $145-150 in :225: Spec for the golf. My point of comparison was between pss and those tires from a performance perspective. Longevity etc is obviously a trade off I mentioned in my earlier post. Cheaper for 17's :doe: I ran em in :225: 45/17

Selectable exhaust is 5/7. That's one I can really get excited about. Why can't throttle pedals just be linear? Why does it need to be adjustable? Makes no sense. I'm a big fan of MSRC, but agree that it's also too much fuss. That's why I love the Multimatics on the ZR2 because it rides great on ro...

Golf R's are almost in the 20s... I think by the time I am in the market for a car (July next year) they certainly will be... too bad 2018+ models are so much nicer inside with that fancy dash and Navi unit. Ugh!

Salvage Title is the way to go for sure.
Salvage title that hasn't been fixed would be 5/7
