Sigma X posted:"2015 Jetta TDi 7k Stg 2 320ft lbs 260bhp" There is actually 0 chance that car makes 260hp and still gets 45mph. My TDI is stock and I average about 40 per tank. It also has no warranty because he would have had to put a bigger turbo and remove the DPF to get anywhere near those numbers on a TDI. And speaking of bad financial decisions. I'm currently bouncing between the dealership and my insurance agent to get all the stuff taken care of to buy a 16 R this weekend

My mileage went up ~25% (39 -> 49mpg) when I chipped my Mk5 TDI ... but I was putting out 135hp at the wheels, not 260hp. A bump from 180 to 240wtq was quite noticable though

It's fun off the line, but when redline is 4500 and it basically has no power past that, meh.

2006. Wasn't anything past that the Mk6 or later? There was like a 4-year lull where they didn't release any TDIs in the US because of emissions.

Even worse than that. http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/ottawa-blindsided-by-fiat-chrysler-recall-and-105m-fine-1.3168674 quote:Transport Minister Lisa Raitt said she still doesn't know the impact on Canada of a major recall of Fiat Chrysler vehicles in the U.S. that is resulting in a $105 million US fine for the company. The canadian agency didn't know poo poo about any of this. There are chrysler vehicles out there murdering folks, and the canadian agency hasn't done poo poo. Jeep liberties in the US "salt states" had recalls for the rear control arms rusting out. they're stamped steel, poorly painted, and act as a cup to catch salty road water. the original recall was on 04-05s, it was extended to 06-07s, and the newer ones are a very similar design with a very similar problem. only the 04-05s have been recalled in canada. It's not just chrysler, either. One of these shitstorms is brewing at ford, too.

It probably was when the Jeep was stock; it looks like someone either lost or has yet to invest on a matching spare. For the sake of that rear diff I hope it was a short trip.

Pretty sure the stock spare is a 215 75/R15. That thing's not even close, but the 5 x 4.5" bolt pattern is widely used enough to make it easy to find a temporary spare if you're in a pinch.

Somewhat Heroic posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvJLAq8vGGc As far as I can tell Rag and Bone just sells pretentious overpriced clothing. They aren't saying anything at all by crushing the car, just calling a poo poo load of (negative) attention to themselves (from people who couldn't care less about their brand). Maybe it's working though, if they get negative attention from car people that might bring general attention to them from everyone else and positive attention from their target market who probably doesn't give a poo poo about cars and loves edgy poo poo. I'll bet Porsche could create a pretty successful marketing video with a GT3 RS doing donuts around a pile of burning Rag and Bone clothing in retaliation.

Would you guys be that pissed if it was a 996? (I'd be happy  )Rag & Bone sucks, but it's pretty clear they got a salvage shell. Sucks but I feel worse when a FD gets a LS1 swap.

Powershift posted:Even worse than that. What I don't understand about this is why they're having to fork out to recall jeeps built in the 90's for bursting into flame. Like, if those cars met the appropriate standards when they were built then isn't it kind of unreasonable to retroactively apply legislation to them?

The vast majority of people have no taste. This applies to people with money to spend on lovely clothes as well. The more expensive it is, the better it is to most people. The looks are secondary.

High fashion is the concept cars of the clothing world. They basically throw poo poo on a model randomly, the more outlandish the better, and the good bits get incorporated into more sane clothing lines. Shame they had to crush that Beetle, though.
