[Car: 2012 GTI 6MT, 22K miles, 100% stock] After dropping it off to get my third water pump and to check for some random misfires, I was told that I have excessive carbon buildup that is not covered under warranty. Yeah I know it's a result of direct injection and driving habits, but I'm...

[Car: 2012 GTI, 19K miles, 100% stock] Last week the spring inside of the pressure plate broke. As I left a parking lot, it became increasingly difficult to the move shifter into gear, to the point where it wouldn't go into any gear at all. After pulling over safely and shutting the engine off...

I had a G35C and thought the engine sounded terrible IMO. Outside, the exhaust had a nice burble/growl, but when driven hard, the VQ sounded every bit like the truck engine it is. My S54-powered M coupe sounded glorious in comparison!

Awesome thanks for the tips! :D

Here's my PAM 510:

brilliant!!

Nice, I love Racer 5. Have you tried Racer X? I wonder if it's any good

I love beer so much that most of my carbs come in liquid form :) I'm a big fan of IPAs, amber ales, Belgian dubbels/tripels/quads, and farmhouse saisons. In my fridge now: - Speakeasy Big Daddy IPA (this is a staple for me) - Speakeasy Betrayal imperial red ale - Lagunitas Day Time IPA -...

I've always wanted a 911 even though they're expensive and inherently "flawed." there's just something about the way they drive (especially air cooled ones), sound, and feel. i also like how they're iconic with a long, storied heritage.

WANT!!!! I really like the A1s I saw overseas...this is hot!

it's not surprising that the fastest cars I've had weren't the funnest. there's something about driving a slow car fast that's engaging, especially at speeds that won't get you thrown into jail.

the 18s weigh around ~23lbs, same as the forged 19" option. The funny (bad) thing is the 19" competition wheels are cast and weigh ~26lbs.
