It was a heady time for development there, did some wild projects with VWoA.

AWD Super Beetle, MaxR, etc.

Truly a cool thing to have done, and will always be a core experience.

I haven’t.

I worked for APR, and ran their shop while we were in development of the R8 supercharger and running the R8LMS cars in competition.

I probably have more seat time in the SC’d R8 than anyone other than engineering staff, as I drove it to car shows.

I’ve been blessed to have been employed at places that afforded me the opportunity to drive stuff I’d never own.

Only one item ended up on my bucket list.

The gated shifter on a 1st gen R8.

For me, I won’t ever have the money to pay for track time or the skill to properly flog a car with big power. I’d rather enjoy my VR swapped mk2 GTI at its limits.

A RS7 with software did wild things, but did not produce the joy of a properly fitted small hatch.

It’s a cartoon! I need this!

Glad you all made it unscathed! That’s wild!

The upside of suddenly needing a new family car is that we get to replace a sedan with a minivan.

Downside is that I’ll never be able to source my first car again, a black 1989 Caravan ES Turbo 5-speed.

If you could live anywhere else in Ohio, where would it be?

We do. 🙂

Wild trips like this happen!

Picked that up today! Was left abandoned on 275 and scooped up by a Good Samaritan just before we got to it.

Just a bit out of the service area! 😂

Always has been!

I miss mine so so so much.

Congrats! Most important question: did the kid see the Spurs parade today?

Have both of these too, but rolling in the Lilywhite today!
