Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Yes, but that ride quality on the track translates to a miserable ride quality on the street. The new Type R looks like it is riding about as well as a 90s shitbox on eBay coilovers, whereas the Golf R looks to have a much more compliant ride at the expense of only one second at the track, which is...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoQHeiR8Or0&t=1530s After looking at the stark difference in ride quality between the Type R and Golf R in that video, and given the fact that the Type R doesn't have heated seats, I don't know why anyone would pick it up over a Golf R, especially with all of the...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I would venture to say 90% of the type R drivers will never track and honestly who gives a flying fuck about the track. If you wanted to “track” you wouldn’t/shouldn’t do it in a car you enjoy driving daily because they are just not complimentary attributes. A $10k gutted e36 will be a far better t...

MANUEL Discussion thread.
I prefer a manual transmission in my cars because I enjoy the experience more. It's that simple for me. Every car , even those with a great auto? Yes, I just prefer shifting myself. I'm well aware that automatics outperform the manual counterparts. They have in some aspect of motoring for the last ...

Yeah, I would hate for Subaru to put the WRX drivetrain in the Impreza body.Valkyrie wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 4:21 pm https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a4191 ... -revealed/
Looks so much better than the WRX/crosstrek, too bad the powertrain is still boring.

I agree. The TT V6 is cool in its own right, but a V8 would have been that much cooler.
Of course, with GM being GM, they probably would have dusted off the Northstar and then wondered why nobody bought one.

So, after spending a week with the V6 6th Gen Camaro, I have a few thoughts on the car. I have driven the 6th Gen twice before, back in 2016 and in 2017, on dealership test drives, and both times I was rather meh on the thing. This is the first V6 and automatic Camaro I have driven. I find it impre...

I mean, everything is moving to apps and it is retarded.

I did an acai bowl from a place called Nekter and a coffee from a place called Philz Coffee. I walked into Philz Coffee completely blind and just started ordering a cappuccino, only to be told that they don't make cappuccinos, lattes, espressos, or any of the other standard fare coffee drinks. They ...

Eating breakfast this morning, I overheard two people complaining about how cold it was. The one guy was completely decked out in a full-on winter coat and hat, and he commented on how his steering wheel was freezing. It was 50. It’s absurd. Especially when people are native to the area like Michel...

Wasn't able to head south tonight. I checked Google and an accident added 40 minutes to the drive to Seaport. I posted up at Monarch in Del Mar. Their spicy chicken sandwich was pretty damn good.

Not in Seaport, it’s in San Diego harbor just north of Seaport, Brigantine is good and there are a few other good spots in that area. Wasn't able to head south tonight.

No worries. I stopped by Miguel's Cocina last night for dinner. It was decent, but nothing mindblowing. The raspberry mojito was good, though. I'm going to try Seaport tonight, I think. We'll see how I feel once I get done work. Were you over in Old Town? A buddy’s wife used to work there. Food was...
