There is a good reason why we all drive cars like this all over Europe... We don't have huge, wide roads everywhere, fuel is 50% more, regulations are crippling... but we like to drive our cars like we stole them. Long live the four pot, turbo, rear wheel drive.

ive been driving golfs and jettas and sciroccos since i got stationed in germany 26 years ago. my daily is a little vr6 golf that i built, and it's great! nippy little thing in traffic, good power and long fast highway pulls in "mexico" and since it was a 5 door that i swapped, i can easily haul my kids in the back when i need to. little euro trash cars are just EPIC!

There used to be a killer auto museum called World of Speed right off the I-5 freeway in Wilsonville that these guys would have loved. I think it permanently closed just before this episode, but they had a bunch of cool stuff, stock cars, lots of old vintage Top Fuel and Funny Cars, some rally stuff and quite a bit of land speed cars including Mickey Thompsons Challenger 1 right inside the front doorway. I was blown away as soon as I walked in seeing that car. Freiburger would have loved it. Sucks that it's gone.

I wonder how pissed off they were when they realize that’s a portion of our front end and with one socket and a ratchet they could’ve jacked the front end up a bit and dealt with that rubbing tire problem in about four minutes. My old Toyota was lowered and it would creep down and a buddy of mine got out and ran the front end up at a stoplight once

@@fishnhomeylod462 correct. it was in testing and final development towards the middle/end of 1945. a few were put into combat, but a P51 was awarded a kill on a jet messerschmitt, and AFAIK is the only prop plane to shoot down a jet plane. (TBF the rolls merlin in the little mustang was like stuffing an LS4 supercharged into a mx5 NA....)

im a disabled vet, and i literally cant afford "a few dollars" a month. i eat one meal a day so my two kids still get 3. cable was too expensive, so i got rid of it. now all the on-demand stuff is just as expensive and STILL has ads. so these re-uploads are literally all i watch. i have no hulu, netflix, etc. no cable box. nothing at all. not even an antenna for locals because even with a boosted antenna in my 750k city, i cant pick up a single thing! so it's this or i simply watch the grass grow... and i did enough of that when i was active duty, so NO!
