TDIs are excellent. I rented one in Europe. We drove from Frankfurt to London, Paris, Pampelona, Barcelona, Zurich and finally back to Frankfurt. Loaded down and speeding it got 42 mpg.






















Fuck a Prius!

I agree on the TDI, though the caveat in Chate's case is that most of his miles will be in the city, where a hybrid that shuts off the engine and gets around on all electric is going to shine.

3rd place? So there are better drivers than Carlos! Ha!

I bet he wins this year

I don't have enough experience, money, power, skill or manpower to challenge the reigning champ. I battle for second and hope he doesn't show or breaks. Of course it's easy to talk shit when you don't compete or even man up on a dyno.

I have missed more than half the season therefore it's mathematically impossible for me to do better than third. Last year I had catastrophic engine failure, wheel failure, and clutch failure that limited my points total.

I'm focusing on preparing the car and making a big push for the 2011 season. I still need the lead team to break (a lot) in order to hope for anything other than second.

Why cant someone just put a big battery in a corvette so it gets awesome mileage in traffic, and let the engine do its job at higher speeds or in "power mode"...that would be the perfect car.

If I got flipped off by anyone in an Aztek for something I deserved to be flipped off for I would make a hard right over a cliff just for the embarrassment.
