Met the owner of this ‘15 FoST at the grocery store. Cool dude about my age. He was not a Jalop reader, but hopefully I changed that. I have to say it was nice having this encounter with another adult. We both complimented each others cars and discussed the pros and cons of each vehicle...and in the end determined that both cars were equally cool and we each chose our ride for different reasons. It was like Oppo...but in real life

Oppo in real life? Did he spout a bunch of memes like how he is pretty sure it’s a lambo dude, and how it looks like an accord coupe? Or did he tell you how many v6 mustangs you could buy instead of the golf?

Clearly we have been too civilized. This is the internet. There must be screaming and name calling.

“Pfft, fine. I didn’t wanna be a part of your stupid hatchback club for jerks anyway. Have fun hauling kids to soccer practice in between trips to Home Depot for balsa wood, losers.”

I finally drove a V6 mustang recently. It was disappointing.

Did he make insane claims like it has 3 turbos or tanner foust test drives each one? Its so hard to be nice and resist calling people idiots. Sadly most my conversations about cars with people end with me thinking they are idiots.

back when I had my WRX I was at a self wash and a guy in a Evo pulled next to me. We both had car seats in the back seat and spent a bit of time checking out each other's rides. It was nice.

How do you like your GTI? I was looking at them for my next car. I test drove it for about 15 minutes and it seemed pretty nice. Any owner advice about it that one wouldn’t be able to get from just a test drive?
