My dad purchased a '79 VW Scirocco and that was one of the first cars I learned to drive on. That baby was a 5-speed standard transmission rocket, I loved that car. It met its untimely demise on a bridge one morning when my sister slammed into the backend of a semi-trailer rig. Fortunately, she was okay, but the Scirocco was toast.

so not an existing car, and even if it was it wouldn't be available in North America, and even if it was, there is no price.
That's a pretty significant clutch-tease.
here I was ready to check if my golf clubs would fit in the back.

Not *yet* existing. Aspec wants to start producing them, this is the concept. Starting with a VW Scirocco which does exist.


But yeah, won't ever come to North America. This case is VW's choice. And after this past year, I don't expect VW to do any favors for North America.

The new Audi TT RS does 0-62 in 3.7sec

At this point, I should just sell my soul to the VW/Audi/Porsche group.

I pledge allegiance to the rings
Of the cars of Auto Union
And to the Quattro
For tight twisty bends
One purpose, unbeatable
With acceleration and shredded Pirelli's for all.

Wynne noted that her government recently changed the rules for its electric vehicle incentives, so cars that retail for more than $150,000 are no longer eligible for rebates.

That...that isn't much better.

I expect nothing else from these people though. They've been clueless for 13 years and keep getting re-elected.

I see Corey Perry is going to the Worlds. He can play on a line with Marchand but I'm not sure there is a C out there to round that line out.

/on second though, might as well put McJesus with those two and turn him into a heel

Won't Edmontonism do that to him naturally in a few years anyway?

So what basically happened was that Finnish national team coach and GM told Markus Granlund he has a spot in the team suddenly that wasn't the case when Minnesota and Florida was kicked out from the Playoffs. Class act?


use it as fuel, kid.

Those commercials with "Reg Carling" annoy the ever loving crap out of me.

Canada has a 3-1 lead over the States in the 2nd period. Hall, Gallagher, and Duchene for Canada. Maroon for the US.
