It's actually probably the first to go. I've just been lazy. I think it's just going straight to CarMax.

Yeah, I’m a proper carmudgeon and dislike the nannys on the GTI, but as it will become the boys’ car, I’m glad it has all that stuff.

Hey, I am happy to have them these days, particularly with the insanity that is ATL highways. Traffic jam assistant is fantastic, as well.

And yes, you definitely want all the nannies with the young drivers in the mix.

You are not kidding!

Speaking of which, I'll be driving on such highways tomorrow!

I'm always fascinated by the quantity and type of debris found on the highway. WTF?! Do people no secure loads at all?

Just awful. Really. And I grew up driving on the DC area’s roads.
