If that's really how it is, then that honestly sounds pretty dull.



There IS such a thing as "too fast for the street" and I'd say the above qualifies. No fun if you have to wait until 3rd gear before you can nail it and enjoy the power. Unless you're one of those "highway roll racer" types.



In other news... wifey starting to have 2nd thoughts about losing the convertible. The ol' Mk6 might get a stay of execution.



Boosted has never driven or driven in my car. #dontfeedthetroll

Cant wait to visit, would love a ride along


Nice big ol boat of a car, im sure its cozy like you stated. Accent meh not so much fun amirite?

Accent beat out the Atlas big time...I was very surprised as I was just going through the motions because Sara wanted to try different SUV's. The Accent has tons of torque and really good acceleration. But the X factor is that it can tow 5000lbs.

Atlas fell short on towing capacity. The smaller tourag tows so much more.

Pathfinder > Atlas

Dont I need a tune to run a catless DP on our cars? To pass emissions?
nope but it's silly to get a dp without a tune for power reasons or lack of.

^ does not know what he's talking about.

My car hooks 2nd damn well. Of course, if you don't know how to drive and just mash the pedal sure it'll spin. Guess this is how automatic trans drivers are used to driving though so it makes sense that you don't understand.

Quite literally you just said "if i push the gas, the car spins" so it indeed does NOT hook up in 2nd.

If you mash the gas and it doesnt hook up, thats called roasting. Pedal modulating every gear is not an ideal driving experience.

Facts guy. sorry.

Word youre trolling, poorly at that. If you just floor it on pretty much any car with power that'll happen.

That’s how I was used to driving before the GTI. I about shit myself when I passed my first car on the way home from picking it up. [emoji15][emoji51]
“What the fuck did I get?” I was unaware that it had been tuned. So the butt dyno vs stock specs that I was familiar with and already way more than my Civic did not compute.
