Owning a VW/Audi/Skoda product requires deep pockets. Yes, some of them are good looking vehicles, but that is tempered by the ridiculous cost-per-mile of owning one of those crates. That doesn't mean the high end ones are just the ones that are a money pit either. The quality control sucks just as well on the Golf and Beetle.

PS - my auto... again I think... it's a 1991 and I may never need to buy another car.

Old Volvo wagons have style. They are so utilitarian that they are cool.

You still don't understand. It's okay.

I saw a Madone Project 1 with flames at 7-11 on the way to the boat today.

It had rear view mirrors (2 on the bike, one on the guys helmet), reflectors, a light, platform pedals, and a seat bag the size of Texas. I commended the owner on his nice ride.

That's a treadmill I bought my wife for her birthday on the roof. It was stupid heavy.. like 600lbs or something. The guys at the store made me sign a release as they were worried about damaging the car. They warned my it might crush the roof in. Clearly they have never seen this.

The high road can be a bit rocky, better take a Jeep.

There wasn't even a first time. No, it's a place for women to talk about women stuff without the guys around. It's not instead of here, but a bonus you might like.

We've been very pleased with our A4. 2010, a little roomier, great gas mileage, and loaded. We couldn't really ask for more, and Quattro is superb in the winter.
