Fortunate to have Japanese and euro cars in the garage. Whenever it's time for a fun drive it's always the German cars that go out.

Then a friend bought a non turbo CVT and he still had CVT problems. It's good when it works, but it'll always eventually break. Subaru build quality is also terrible.

Here's the Corolla that's down my block, it's been like this for a month now. I believe it's daily driven. They recently added a tie down to the trunk so it doesn't flop around.
EDIT: responding to a post a couple of pages back. They probably don't want to give up the car to ICBC due to the fact that the used car market for anything in the 2000s model year is expensive

They didn't want their car written off by insurance because they were on the verge of being dropped by their insurance company and the payout would lead them into a position where they could not buy a car during the peak of the pandemic.

The rear fender was messed up and the passenger door was held on by a strap. VPD thinks it's totally fine to drive like that too.

Yup when my car got hit, ICBC said it totally fine to drive with only one head light. If the cops pull you over just say you have a claim.  | |

Far too often I see fwd'ers spinning their tires at a hilly intersection once the light hits green. Some of it attributed to crappy/bald tires.

Found the 4 motion quite useful in deep snow last year in the Golf R.
thing was a tank on both DWS06 and some Yoko ice guards.
Great for drifting too if full stability off
