A few months ago, we had STs going down/getting taken out left and right, and now all of a sudden GTIs start showing up. That’s awfully convenient, VW...

It’s nice that all these new cars are getting more and more aluminium in them. Makes it a lot easier to source material for my conspiracy theory hat.

Excellent, my plan seems to be working.

No man, you have to use tin! Aluminum isotopes aren’t capable of stopping the government owned satellites from reading your mind via xray beams, and they know it! Why do you think the store shelves are clogged with aluminum foil? Have you even ever seen any tin foil for sale in a brick ‘n mortar?

When will the Rangers start to pile up? Oh wait, thats right; Ford Sucks and discontinued it for the US market in 2011

By the gods, that explains why we not longer have tin cans! They’re taking away the most protective material we know of! Damn them! Damn them to hell!

*sigh* every time an Oppo trend pops up I find myself pricing slightly used flavor-of-the-week plus an initial batch of mods. So far it’s happened with the Abarth, FoST, FiST, Gen Coupe, BRZ... Might as well add the GTI

Now, are all GTI’s now called Golf GTI’s and what’s a pzev?

Pzev = Pez, but for the Ukraine.

Actually it stands for Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle.

Why do I feel like that means “I have a thing in my engine that robs power and punches me in the crotch every time I high rev it”

Partial zero emission vehicle! Gets me out of emissions testing in Colorado, which is lovely considering my 200-cell catalytic converter.

You'll notice the same designation on certain Subaru models. I imagine many modern vehicles meet its requirements, only certain companies seem to want and tout it. It's just a measure of the emissions from the tailpipe and a 15 year warranty on the exhaust components involved. That being said, when I removed the stock downpipe on my GTI, there was a ridiculously large and dense Catalytic converter, almost right off the turbo. Not great for exhaust flow.

GTI, the fwd hot hatch fad, 30 years and running. Mhmm.

Don’t forget, aluminum also causes cancer!

(That one is actually true).

RWD or buuuuuuuuuuuust!

Rear-biased AWD is acceptable, too.
