Shoot The Breeze

GTI is a great car. I just want the AWD. So I’m looking at that and waiting for the next STi.

I had a 2017 STi. I miss driving that car but it was a little heavy for the power it had. With the Michelin AS3+ tires it was a bomb in the canyons and a bomb in the snow. You can still route all power to the rear to do donuts but when you locked the center diff it was like ”one foot of compacted snow? What’s that all about?”

Sadly (or maybe not) I’ve discovered the FI movement so my next car will be around 20k in cash, looking at an Audi S5 most likely.

Civic Type R anyone?

I‘ve not driven one, but 40k for that car feels kIND of steep.

I was shopping the prior gen si and I couldn’t fit my head in the damn car, and I’m just shy of 6ft.

I was researching ways to lower the drivers seat lol, but ended up getting a Subaru STi instead.

So do Trumpers still think they're going to win or what? Anyone watching the McCabe testimonies?

The Sti has been underpowered for years. That’s why I’m excited about the new one. Wish I could swing something like an S5 lol.

I never gave up hope.

I prefer my manual gearbox too but the flappy paddle shifters are faster for everyone but a race car driver.

its all about fun factor and paddle shifters just don’t do it

I agree but if you’re an amateur the dual clutch will be faster on track day. I don’t go to the track anymore so idc but it is what it is.

Bro stop doing this to yourself. Take it from someone who hated trump and was pissed when he was elected. The quicker you accept it the easier it is to just get on with your life. Just hang your hat on the fact that Biden will be friendly to your career field.

Does anyone know what happens after a positive covid result? After your medical is pulled, do you just get it back after 2 weeks of quarantine?

Could never drive a car that looks like that but no denying it’s a great car.

I'm a truck/suv kind of guy, but ya if I was going to drive a smaller car it wouldn't be one of those. I always liked the wrx Subaru made that had most or all the stuff the sti trim package had without the lame giant douche wing. Some of the performance hatchbacks are kinda cool too. Like I would also drive a golf GTI.

I used to think that but the looks grew on me after seeing it in person.

Yeah 35k would be perfect but it's hard to find one without the dealer mark-up. I haven't driven it either but I'm extremely curious since it gets nothing but praise from auto journalists.

Anyone seen one new golf R? It’s not a corvette but I think it looks pretty sweet and is more in a tower controllers price point.

Tower controllers price point? Some of the highest paid controllers I know are tower controllers. Knowing this page though this is some kinda inside joke I missed

Most tower controllers don’t make crazy money. Pretty much all center controllers do.

Hey some of those dudes are only making ten pay. Tough life.

You get a temporary incapacitation. You get it back in 14 days. Or 10 days after a negative test

Nah, I’ll wait for certified results.

What’s your excuse gonna be after that? That the state should use its own electors

If the lawsuits get tossed. I will admit Trump lost.
