If I was full-blast #trackdaybro, I'd get into karts personally.

Yep. I'm not a full trackday bruh. Karting when I get the itch. A few OEM sponsored track things here and there are enough. I did the 911 turbo vs 911 GT3 in Atlanta at the Porsche HQ last year. Might do a half day of BMW driving school this fall.

Step 2: Put in Airpods
Step 3: Forget turn signal even exists

Like Max said, it's not that the steering is "loose" it's just that it requires constant correction in wind. Steering actually feels rather tight to me, but the aero of the thing really lets it blow around.

My JK was way worse than the JL in this regard for some reason.
The steering was incredibly loose on the one I drove. I would hope that's not the case with every one of them, because I could wiggle the wheel a good 10 degree sweep and nothing would happen.
I driven 2 different JKU's, one sport and Rubicon. The sport one with smaller base poverty tires, i noticed that i had to somehow wiggle the steering just to go straight on the highway , but the rubicon felt more stable in comparison, just not as "loose" which I believe tires play a role on :dat: turns i agree it is indeed tight

Is this thread just for all general :plac: moves?

Make or break on next :plac: decision was what the new 2020 Outback pricing would come in at. I was hoping Onyx XT trim would be $34,900. Turns out it's $35,900.

Depends on Accord depreciation now...and test drive I guess.

Location: Hi. I'm in Delaware.

I said "F it" and picked up a 2019 GTI Rabbit Edition.

Image

The reasoning behind my decision:

1. I wanted to get back to a :manuel:
2. The rust on the bed of my truck wasn't going to get any better over time.
3. The miles weren't going to get any lower on the truck.
4. As a result of 2 and 3, I was already over the bell curve for maximizing the dollar amount I would receive for the truck.
5. The truck has been a part of the Takata recall for over two years now, and I was tired of GM postponing airbag replacements because they keep swearing that their Takata airbags are different from everyone else's Takata airbags.
6. With the 6/72 warranty and the two years of maintenance, it is one less vehicle I need to worry about wrenching on for a while.
