Also in regards to Maj, I definitely know he's a stand up guy. He seems like the type that will fuck with you but when you have your back against the wall, you know he'll be there to help in a heartbeat.

Buffet? That sound like my kind of place! I love to eat.

Let me know if you want to talk about a different orientation :ghey:
S1? Not bad. A1 looks (obvs), 2.0L turbo, good fun. Performance similar to a TL but in a small package.
Price just isn't there though compared to other European comparatives. Oh wait, we're talking Audi. *cue drum roll*

Too late I'm already dating Gary if my mom doesn't cut it.

Camry Gary has a nice ring to it.

Just was a feeling...cabin felt cramped, but then I got out of my TL and got in the IS. 335 feels smallish compared to the TL too.

That's because it's so underpowered that you have to mash the pedal to move at all. I hate driving the 250s. Luckily the turbocharged engine from the NX is going into the IS for 2016; 235hp/258tq.

No idea why I'm so excited about the CTR. Maybe it's because I'm still secretly hoping we get it- we haven't had a Type R on these shores in almost 15 years.

I'll agree that the styling is very, shall I say, bold for the CTR, but I think it's because Honda has been pumping out vanilla cars for way too long now. The CTR looks like chocolate with sprinkles. It's just different. I wouldn't daily drive one, but id love to have one as a fun car to pull out on weekends and bag the shift out of. It'd be hard to wipe the shit eating grin off my face

You suckas is thirsty.. I didn't even drive her today. It's been foggy and moist the past few days. She'll get to breathe tomorrow night. I'll post a proof pic by this weekend.. it'll be definitive.

Hey the only vaporcar so far is the CTS-V that you apparently bought but we never saw.

Considering Jamie taught me all his stalking tips and I was able to figure where Brake_L8 lives from 1 picture of donuts in the snow with the Denali... I'm not surprised.

Thanks for volunteering to scan the entire magazine and uploading to PDF for us Maj


Morning guys/potential gals.

I'll look up a free trial to C&D on one of my other private forums and post a link to it.

So you gotta do some surveys to get 300 points then you can redeem them for a 1 year subscription of Car & Driver AND Road & Track


Imma do some surveys right now shouldn't take more than 30 minutes or so. Also remember to just put a fake name (no shit sherlock) when they ask for mailing address.

EDIT: Actually skip the surveys and quizzes. Just look for "Slideshows" and you'll just have to click through them and then at the end click "Get xx points". Click enough to get 300 points to redeem! The nice thing is they actually suggest a "next" slideshow to go through so after a few clicks, you can get your fwee magazines

I finished getting enough points in less than 15 minutes

once you get enough points you can redeem and it'll give you a promotion code. Then you'll have to go to another website to insert the promotional code and mailing address. No need to put your address in the recyclebank website if you don't feel like it.

Best car magazines for me are "EVO", "CAR", and "Top Gear"...strangely, all British/European.

Don't care for the NA automotive magazines.
