When I've seen this posted in the past, it's been mentioned that this is either a Chinese knockoff, or the bed is full of concrete, or the test is at 60+ mph, or all three. Pick whichever one helps you sleep better at night.

Nocheez posted:I have a co-worker who retired from GM, so he always buys GMs. His last car was a HHR SS with the turbocharged engine, but he sold that and is now driving a Cruze. He told me he could get me the same deal he got, and I asked how much. He told me it was around $25,000. I bought a new Jetta 1.8T (shut up) in 2003. It was a very nicely equipped GLS model, with full leather, heated seats, lots of options, and paid a little bit over $21k for it. The next week, a buddy of mine at work spent $23k on a new Cavalier that had no options and drove like a bathtub. Stuff started breaking the first week he owned it. I still can't fathom why anyone would want to spend that kind of money on such a poo poo car.

Zenostein posted:That and it's super nice to have the space for all my stuff for a long-ish trip. The Jetta SportWagen currently on the market is still a MkV Jetta underneath, so it's a lot nicer than the MkVI Jetta sedans. If I was in the market for another wagon, I'd pick one of those up for sure. I'm planning to buy my inlaws' JSW TDI in a couple years.

Got a sneak peek at the Minneapolis Auto Show tonight. It opens to the public tomorrow morning. Plenty of nice cars, but no C7 Corvette as I was hoping. The only Corvette is this ZR1: We spent the most time at the rather large Audi booth. S8:  RS5:  S7:

VanNuys posted:yeah, we had an acrylic (or something similar) SBC 350 in my advance auto shop class in HS. I'm saying it would be badass if they had the structural integrity to work and hold boost. It would make some repairs easier. You could check the plugs without even removing them! My shop class in high school had the front clip of a first-gen Camaro with a "visible" straight six. Certain parts were clear so you could see the internals moving. When you plugged it in, the engine would turn, albeit at about 10RPM. I had forgotten all about it until your post.

ColdPie posted:Today was the first Minnesota Cars and Coffee for 2013. It was the first time I'd gone, so it was all new to me. Lots of cool stuff to see, here's my highlights. The April & May shows are always small because it's still cold. June is when it starts picking up, and July is usually the best month to go. It's warm in the morning but not hot, the car turnout is fantastic, and the place is packed. My car was in the Audi row but I had to leave early. Here's that Ferrari with the other cars that were at the LaMettry's tent, and my S4 in its former stock mode.

Imperador do Brasil posted:Was taking a bike ride with the boy today and spied this just a couple of blocks from home in an alley. Nothing remarkable about it except that it has no fake-rusted hood, no "illest" stickers, and no tire stretch. It's very uncommon in my area to see a MKII Jetta Coupe, and to find one this nice was a pleasant surprise. I've noticed fewer cars with fake rust. It may be wishful thinking, but I think the VW scene has finally moved on. It'll still take a little time for word to reach everyone, but I am noticing a return to clean cars like this one. I love the RS2. It'd be the first car I imported if I won the lottery. Hell, I'd just fill up a transporter full of Euros and ship them over.

Saw a cyber gray C7 driving around today and tracked it down to a nearby Chevy dealer. It's a customer's car awaiting delivery. I've seen a red one a couple times around town, but I think this gray might be its best color. The interior looks like it came out of a much more expensive car.

D C posted:God damnit Chevy stop with the chrome wheels. Yeah, I'd definitely swap those for something nicer. Edit: As I was checking it out, a couple old dudes from the dealership walked out. Both walked straight past me to another guy who was looking at it. They must have assumed that my car was his, and that his shitbox Corolla was mine. One of them said something about trading "his" car for the Corvette, but they shut up when I walked over and got into my '13 S4 and the other guy got into his rusty Toyota. I'm 35 but look about 27.

In my first car, the entire dashboard would go dark, including the instrument panel, aircon, radio, etc. A good smack usually worked until one time when the bottom of the steering column fell off onto my legs, but at least that led to me finding the problem and fixing it once and for all.
