Yes, this was a beautiful comment. I've wanted a Volkswagon product for years. When it comes time to buy a car I talk myself put of buying one. After watching this video I say to myself "stop doing that".
God damn, I agree. I just bought an older car that I found pleasing to the eye with an engine powerful enough to put a smile on my face. I sacrificed on practicality, but this thought was the exact one I had. Thank you RCR!
I want a miata, shave my balls, look like a women, cross-dress at random times just to fuck with people, and will take the "feminine option" for things where it's unnecessary (get bright pink shit for no reason)
Don't forget the Macbook and a fixie to commute to work too. No but seriously, what the others said. I've moved an entire flat in a medium sized Citroen with a trailer. The only thing that won't fit in basically a Miata, is large furniture (that cannot be dis-assembled) or appliances and those can be put in an Ikea trailer (around here you can rent those for free cause they are then a rolling billboard for Ikea).
The TT was originally released when I was 15, and as a teenager who wasn’t quite old enough to drive yet, I thought it was one of the coolest cars I’d ever seen. Now almost 40, I recently bought a 20 year old TT, and I love it. No shame. It’s waaaay more fun to go balls to the wall in a modestly fast car than to be constantly trying to reign in a very fast car.
100% accurate. I modded my car to get it to just over 300HP and it's honestly more than I can reasonably use on public roads. I've no idea how fast my car can actually go, I just know it's over 140MPH. It has also become a highway passing monster. As long as your car has enough power to get out of its own way and get itself out of trouble then you're just fine. You've got enough power to have fun and little enough to help you avoid immediately losing your license or getting into a terrible accident.
same... I really wanted that car as a kid and now I got one at 30 years old.... I´m just happy that my childhood dream car was an affordable one and not a lambo or ferrari like most kids wanted
+SAMP Giggles can't say I've never stalled one, but i learned on one and they are incredibly easy and forgiving to learn on. They don't have a lot of give, but idle real nice.
I’ve had a 225Q for 6 years now. I can’t say I’ve never stalled it in that time, but it certainly stalls less easily than any other manual I’ve driven. Maybe it’s worse on the 180Qs?
"You only get so many laps around the sun, so get the car you really want." Mr. Regular, thank you for that sentence. It pushed the right buttons for me. I bought my first car a year ago and despite all the advice everyone gave me (like "buy something smaller, but newer"), I got myself the car of my dreams. You can all take your advice and shove it where the sun doesn't shine, because I'm now driving a Mercedes. Old and slow one, but beautiful, reliable and incredibly comfortable one.
I needed to hear this as well. I honestly don't feel safe in newer, smaller cars, so I buy large, older, comfortable ones. Who cares if I drive an "old man's car?" It's reliable, it fits me, and I own it outright. That's what matters.
***** not sure what the hairdressers drive where you are from, but I don't think it's a TT. Well, the hairdresser near my place drives a Mini Cooper S. But that is besides the point.
***** There isn't really an "any other roadster" these days. There's basically the Miata, BMW Z series, Merc SLK and Audi TT and they're all very distinct. (or maybe there is an "any other roadster in America that I'm not aware of)
That made no sense to me, wouldn't that mean Mr R was gentler...? I never stalled my honda again learning manual, when I realized I could give it too much gas instead of too little and just do burnouts everywhere.
I love the first generation Audi TT. It is timeless and classic. The TT is the type of car that will always look good, like and old Jag E-Type or a GMC Typhoon.
Thanks man. I was one of those people. I thought the TT was kinda cool but really girly. But you've made me realize that the only reason I didn't want one was because I'm a little bitch. Think I'll go look for TT now.
instant torque, easy VW steering, AWD, cute roadter... Sounds like the German version of the 124 Spyder/ turbocharged MX-5 with luxury. Must be fun to drive.
Άδωνις Βασιλείου think about when it debuted, mid 90s at the Geneva auto show. The first one hit show rooms in 98 iirc. Compare that to any other 90s car.
People are more offended by the owner's reaction to Mr Regular stalling his car than people offended by Mr Regular stalling a car 4 times. This show officially has fanboys.
I mean the guy is almost being an ass about it. If you let someone drive your car, you assume that person does not know the car and might make a few mistakes. But the TT's owner is making sure Mr. R is really feeling bad about himself when everybody just makes maistakes sometimes especially when driving a car you don't know tht's been modified. "I never stalled this car once !" Fucking dick.
@@RegalCooper Yet, RCR is a grown man that put those stalls in and kept them, owned up to them. First and second stall is okay, but after that you can start jabbing, especially if you are the owner and haven’t stalled it once.
The TT is surprisingly roomy considering how small it looks from the outside. My family has one (manual 180hp 1.8T Quattro, 2004 model IIRC) and we also used it when moving. You can even fit all four wheels _in_ the car - I know this because I've tried. I love that car. Looks good, sounds decent, and it's slow enough that you can just floor it whenever you want without worrying about crashing or going over the speed limit too much, but still fast enough so it never feels slow. It's quite comfortable, too. In other words, it's a great sporty daily driver.
crazymustang99 Okay let me ask you. Do you agree with Mr. Regular that people should just like what they want? Because by your reasoning that makes him a "liberal pansy" too.
+The Red Buffoon Well to be honest he stalled again right after he finished cranking the engine on that hill. That is what gave him that reaction. I thought the same thing to be honest. It's the AWD and the extra weight of the car with the hard clutch. I have an AWD car. It was my 2nd manual car. I noticed the clutch was super hard and the car would stall out immediately if you didn't give a lot of gas. If you did give it enough gas ,but released the clutch pedal a little too fast, it would launch! When I first got it, I stalled at every single stop light as soon as it turned green. I would then launch the car after I finished cranking. I lug it a bit every now and then...
I know these comments are a year old, but just for the sake of clarity Mr. Regular said in another comment this dude is an old friend of his and his "whining" is actually just one friend busting another friend's balls.
The Audi TT is the German Miata. It handles great, is quick enough, and looks good. If someone wants a nice autocross car for the weekends, and a car that makes them smile everyday, they COULD buy this. I have driven a few (on the street and autocross course) and really think they are good cars. I did buy a Miata instead of this though, and im glad about that.
+Talford Winstonworth Hey, arguing over aesthetics is pointless. If you base your purchases on looks and other peoples opinions, this car isnt for you.
i had 2 Miatas. then i bought the Audi. Much more zip.. I rented a new BMW 410i on a trip. I loved it but was not unhappy to come home to my 2002 Audi TT turbo AWD
+Darude Her Right In The Sandstorm™ theres a lot to like about this car. its all wheel drive with manual. I bet this thing would be badass to drive around in the snow.. also.. it just looks like a car that would be fun for spirited driving. or driving like a maniac.

Fuck it. I always have, and always will love the 1st gen TT. Never actually been ashamed of that, either, I just see people not liking the design and it confuses me.
I know you stalled it a lot but that owner needs to chill, damn. Stalling it isnt that bad for the car. Every single time "wow, ive never stalled it! Are you serious?!" was getting annoying fast. Dont let other people drive your car if you are that overprotective of it.
Nathan Rumancik If you trust someone not to damage your car, even accidentally, they shouldn't betray that. First thing I do is find the rumble point when I get in a friend's car
@@martyjehovah It's still annoying. The video is for entertainment. If one of the participants in the video is being whiney, it's annoying to watch. I don't care if it's his friend, brother, father, whatever. Annoying and whiney.
My 21st birthday present was a rented 2001 Audi TT Quattro Roadster. 1.8-liter, 225-horsepower twin-turbo 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual transmission. I can STILL hear those twin turbos scream all the way up to the redline after 18 years!!!!! My father & I actually got that little red rocket up to a buck five on Route 1 in Saugus, MA, & it was so smooth & comfortable, it felt like we were doing 60!!!!!
I just wanted to tell you guys that you helped me reach my word count limit in my latest essay. When I was 100 words short, I remembered the way you guys comment and make comparisons, and I was able to get another 150 words. I'm not sure how well the casual tone will hit with my professor, but thank you for the little boost you gave me.
that piece of advice at the end has in retrospect made all 4 car choices i've made in 11 years of driving seem like great choices. Thanks Mr. Regular for the best piece lf car advice anyone could hear.
5:10 When that one relative you see once a year at the family Christmas party corners you and begins ranting about small facts of their boring hobby, and you're trying your best to sound like you're interested.
Not only have I learned a lot about cars while watching this show, but also many important life lessons. I'm really not exaggerating. Mr regular truly does have a lot of good insight.
This car looks like the engine should have been placed where the rear seats are. I have always thought the older tt's looked pretty bad but they stepped up their game with the new one.
Great review. I drive one of these and I love it. I often find myself toying around with the idea of buying a different car, but then I sit inside of my TT and everything just feels so right. However, I would recommend buying the 225hp, 6 speed, dual exhaust version. It is just the better package. With a few small (but pricy) modifications, it really wakes up and performs pretty well. Is it a track weapon? No. But it is fun, safe, fuel efficient-ish, rips through snow and has a surprising amount of space for a quasi 2-seater. And looks, I got looks for days! Everybody thinks the car is much newer and more expensive than it is. Timeless look.
Just now finding this review - my ex-wife had a TT exactly like this one, same color and all. I laughed especially when you stalled it; I stalled hers the first time I drove it too. I also ended up hitting 3rd instead of 5th from time to time. Fun car to drive, hell to maintain as it was out of warranty. She got rid of it when the kid got too big for the backseat, which didn't take long. Love your videos!
I had one of these little cars except mine was a 2001 TT Roadster with Quattro AWD and 225-hp. And 6-Speed transmission, obviously. (I never stalled it once either /s) Not too bad on fuel, about 22/30 mpg. It was really sweet ride with the top down. I drove it across the country, through the Rockies and Sierra Nevada, the Sonoran, the Great Plains, etc etc. I even cruised down PCH from SF to SD. It was like a dream. Anyway, someone stole it and wrapped it around a tree; they totaled it. I miss that car.
Mr regular! I have to agree I just drove my first Audi from the same era, the 2004 a4 Quattro and that clutch engages so much differently than I'm use to!
Had an '02 quattro roadster, with the 225 HP engine chipped up to about 250, and 18" wheels. It looked great, was extremely comfortable, even on long trips, and even managed a couple of low-key track days. It ran reliably and my daughter, who was 10 or so at the time, loved it. I ended up trading it on a tow vehicle for my actual track car, but still miss it. An under-appreciated, fun little car. But I don't think I ever stalled it....
These Audi’s are under appreciated, especially if you live somewhere where it snows. There will be huge ass snow storms and blizzards and I’ll drive past these macho dudes with their huge trucks or jeeps and they’re all spinning out or crashed and I’m just chilling there with my car all in tact, not having to worry about crashing. Give the TT some respect bc it’s an absolute tank.
The TT gets the Miata treatment, for sure. I didn't know what love was until I drove my Mazda and I can guarantee nary a car will put a smile on your face as often as an MX-5.
A long time ago, I went out to buy the first gen of psp. They only had one left and it was pink. I got the pink one and poured thousands of hours into it.
You nailed it! I always wanted one because they looked great but always bought the more practical car. Eventually i said F' it and got one and loved it (till it started cost too much to repair).
TT means "Tourist Trophy" and across Europe, there were many TT's. The Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix is called the Dutch TT Until 1974 there was a German TT, also called Eiffelrennen. The German TT was for both cars and motorcycles!
Great review and agree with so much of it. I had an 04 Quattro and just loved it. Fun and original in the looks dept. I just couldn’t keep the damn engine light from coming on every four weeks or so. Drove me crazy. Sold it but still enjoy seeing them around.
Glad you spoke on this topic of masculinity in the car world. I want to get a modern Mini Cooper so bad but everyone from my mates to my mum to my girlfriend gives me shit for liking them. It's the 'mr bean car, the gay mans car, the rich daughters car to them, but I think its just brilliant. I will probably still buy it but I really get tired of getting shit from everyone, forceful sterotypes are annoying and the car world is no exception.
+tomo55554 As the owner of '06 Cooper S hardtop I say just do it. As Mr. Regular said, life's too short drive what YOU want to drive, not what someone else thinks you should.
After a shitty year I wanted to buy/treat myself to a sporty car... Looking into the TT I found this vid and between the "ball shaver" and "the finite laps around the sun" I found myself buying this car the next day... Adopting the ballshaver and the finity of life as a crede to live by. Thank you sir for this gift!
At first i really didnt like the styling of the TT, too round too soft, but after looking at it for a while its growing on me. Still probably never going to buy one but if i had to owning one wouldnt be that bad.
***** you can get respect in this; it beats most of those other street regular cars, and got some Audi quality over it. You aint so sure about your own sexuallity? Haha
+Talford Winstonworth remeber that its not the car who is choosing your and its personality, its the other way around. you can make it the way you want. a car enthusiast wouldnt say the things you comment on here
Car enthusiasts that laugh at you because of your personal choice in cars are not real car enthusiasts in my book and therefore thier opinions don't matter to me. I regularly drive my girlfriend's Honda Fit that says "I love my ferrets" on a bumper sticker that has hearts all over it. The car practically screams female driver and I could care less. What complete strangers think of me is unimportant.
+Talford Winstonworth You are the damn troll! I don't know how you don't recognize that. I'm not sure if you have a personal vendetta against the TT or not, but it's pretty laughable how insecure of your sexuality you seem to be. Why the hell do you care what someone will or won't think when SOMEONE ELSE drives the car they own?
It’s like you’re in my brain! I loved my first gen and I’m about to buy a 3rd gen TTS on Monday. I also own at least two Philips BodyGroom shavers (and the boys - if they could talk - would thank me). Keep being you, RCR. Much love from the North Carolina coast. 🤔 *maybe I should start a TH-cam channel*
Krystal Myth I pat myself on the back endless for getting one so I say with confidence the 350z is a sweet ride. Quite harsh on the Tein coils it’s riding on but fun factor is huge

Nathan Rumancik If you trust someone not to damage your car, even accidentally, they shouldn't betray that. First thing I do is find the rumble point when I get in a friend's car
He said in another comment the dude is an old friend and he's just fucking with him by acting like that.
It sounds like he's just busting his balls to me.
@@martyjehovah It's still annoying. The video is for entertainment. If one of the participants in the video is being whiney, it's annoying to watch. I don't care if it's his friend, brother, father, whatever. Annoying and whiney.
@@rtoma1974 you have some serious issues lol.
My 21st birthday present was a rented 2001 Audi TT Quattro Roadster. 1.8-liter, 225-horsepower twin-turbo 4-cylinder, 6-speed manual transmission. I can STILL hear those twin turbos scream all the way up to the redline after 18 years!!!!! My father & I actually got that little red rocket up to a buck five on Route 1 in Saugus, MA, & it was so smooth & comfortable, it felt like we were doing 60!!!!!
I love when these videos get philosophical and deep. Well done as always.
I like the first-gen TT, but to me it's one of those cars that only looks right in a certain color- in this case, silver.
TheInflicted Oh no the Silver just looks sooo cheap
cuteness overload

I just wanted to tell you guys that you helped me reach my word count limit in my latest essay. When I was 100 words short, I remembered the way you guys comment and make comparisons, and I was able to get another 150 words. I'm not sure how well the casual tone will hit with my professor, but thank you for the little boost you gave me.
that piece of advice at the end has in retrospect made all 4 car choices i've made in 11 years of driving seem like great choices. Thanks Mr. Regular for the best piece lf car advice anyone could hear.
5:10 When that one relative you see once a year at the family Christmas party corners you and begins ranting about small facts of their boring hobby, and you're trying your best to sound like you're interested.
"Mr. Regular stalling a car!?" It's all good, stalling DOES NOT hurt anything, except this particular owner's ego. :-P
Yeah, that was pretty cringey
"Buy the car that you really want" very good advice, thank you.
Not only have I learned a lot about cars while watching this show, but also many important life lessons. I'm really not exaggerating. Mr regular truly does have a lot of good insight.
This car looks like the engine should have been placed where the rear seats are. I have always thought the older tt's looked pretty bad but they stepped up their game with the new one.
I think the new ones look spectacularly good
+Andrew Wittwer for some reason I thought these Audis were mid-engined, until I watched this video
+Andrew Wittwer I agree. It'd be like a mini R8.
When it first cam out I it gave me the impression it was Audi's interpretation of an updated original 60s Porsche 911.
Been waiting for this review for sooooo long. I have a 2002 TT.
I could watch these videos all day, and during the weekend I usually do.
Great review. I drive one of these and I love it. I often find myself toying around with the idea of buying a different car, but then I sit inside of my TT and everything just feels so right. However, I would recommend buying the 225hp, 6 speed, dual exhaust version. It is just the better package. With a few small (but pricy) modifications, it really wakes up and performs pretty well. Is it a track weapon? No. But it is fun, safe, fuel efficient-ish, rips through snow and has a surprising amount of space for a quasi 2-seater. And looks, I got looks for days! Everybody thinks the car is much newer and more expensive than it is. Timeless look.
I always thought TT stood for twin turbo even though it's not, but that kind of labeling is not uncommon for the Germans
That would be call biturbo.
I used to like the 2nd generation TT look better, but now I like the 1st generation better. So I bought one. No shame, I love this car lol.
Just now finding this review - my ex-wife had a TT exactly like this one, same color and all. I laughed especially when you stalled it; I stalled hers the first time I drove it too. I also ended up hitting 3rd instead of 5th from time to time. Fun car to drive, hell to maintain as it was out of warranty. She got rid of it when the kid got too big for the backseat, which didn't take long. Love your videos!
It's ok Mr. Regular, I stalled my Miata at least once a day for the first two weeks after I got it.
I had one of these little cars except mine was a 2001 TT Roadster with Quattro AWD and 225-hp. And 6-Speed transmission, obviously. (I never stalled it once either /s) Not too bad on fuel, about 22/30 mpg. It was really sweet ride with the top down. I drove it across the country, through the Rockies and Sierra Nevada, the Sonoran, the Great Plains, etc etc. I even cruised down PCH from SF to SD. It was like a dream. Anyway, someone stole it and wrapped it around a tree; they totaled it. I miss that car.
Thanks Mr. Regular, this concept is one I frequently find myself trying to explain.
Mr regular! I have to agree I just drove my first Audi from the same era, the 2004 a4 Quattro and that clutch engages so much differently than I'm use to!
Had an '02 quattro roadster, with the 225 HP engine chipped up to about 250, and 18" wheels. It looked great, was extremely comfortable, even on long trips, and even managed a couple of low-key track days. It ran reliably and my daughter, who was 10 or so at the time, loved it. I ended up trading it on a tow vehicle for my actual track car, but still miss it. An under-appreciated, fun little car. But I don't think I ever stalled it....
Bubble butt cutie pie!
OMG, I don't even want an Audi TT but I could watch these reviews forever....
Love your videos man!
I drove my friend's TT last year and the first thing I did was stall it! I feel your pain.

These Audi’s are under appreciated, especially if you live somewhere where it snows. There will be huge ass snow storms and blizzards and I’ll drive past these macho dudes with their huge trucks or jeeps and they’re all spinning out or crashed and I’m just chilling there with my car all in tact, not having to worry about crashing.
Give the TT some respect bc it’s an absolute tank.
this has to be the best car review you've ever made 😂😂
The TT gets the Miata treatment, for sure.
I didn't know what love was until I drove my Mazda and I can guarantee nary a car will put a smile on your face as often as an MX-5.
A long time ago, I went out to buy the first gen of psp. They only had one left and it was pink.
I got the pink one and poured thousands of hours into it.
Nethertar the pink one was fire i always wanted it but i had the blue one
You nailed it! I always wanted one because they looked great but always bought the more practical car. Eventually i said F' it and got one and loved it (till it started cost too much to repair).
Wow an actual regular car review, haven't seen one of these in a while
I've had a Mk2 8J TT for over a year now. I LOVE IT!
TT means "Tourist Trophy" and across Europe, there were many TT's. The Dutch MotoGP Grand Prix is called the Dutch TT Until 1974 there was a German TT, also called Eiffelrennen. The German TT was for both cars and motorcycles!
Thought it stood for "Ta-Tas!"
thanks for waking me up at 4AM with the video notification brah

Had one for many years, absolutely loved It.
This is the review that got me hooked.
I own the 225 horse tt at 18 years old. only have one friend that can beat it. have a few bolt ons and it's damn fun to drive.
and I've made all 4 spin before on slick blacktop.
MrCamoman12 I have the 225 as well at 16. Only person that can beat me is my friend with a 3.8 Genesis.
This is the dream car of a friend of mine...
Great review and agree with so much of it. I had an 04 Quattro and just loved it. Fun and original in the looks dept. I just couldn’t keep the damn engine light from coming on every four weeks or so. Drove me crazy. Sold it but still enjoy seeing them around.
"You only get so many laps around the sun, so buy the car you want"
I F'n LOVE this quote. Like... seriously. Best narration channel ever.
My realistic dream car back in the early 2000. :P
Mr. Regular being inspiring as fuck in this video
THANK YOU! for that last bit.
One of my favorite cars since I was 6 years old, hardly gets any cuter than this
exactly
to hell with it being "a hairdresser's car"
I like it and thats it
and it sort of reels in the babes...
Love the car, getting a 225hp Quatro next year :) sooooo prettyyyyyy
The masculinity factor can be said for so many cars, I'm glad you brought it to light once again
Love the exit line. You don't owe anyone any explanation for why you like what you like.
Glad you spoke on this topic of masculinity in the car world. I want to get a modern Mini Cooper so bad but everyone from my mates to my mum to my girlfriend gives me shit for liking them. It's the 'mr bean car, the gay mans car, the rich daughters car to them, but I think its just brilliant. I will probably still buy it but I really get tired of getting shit from everyone, forceful sterotypes are annoying and the car world is no exception.
+tomo55554 As the owner of '06 Cooper S hardtop I say just do it. As Mr. Regular said, life's too short drive what YOU want to drive, not what someone else thinks you should.
Dude just save up and get yourself a good one, you'll feel worse If you don't.
+Talford Winstonworth sorry man, it takes years of work

Please do a review for the 2003 BMW E39 540i M-Sport
at this point id settle for ANY E39.......... I even offered up my 540i......
Okay, this may well be my new favorite review.
After a shitty year I wanted to buy/treat myself to a sporty car... Looking into the TT I found this vid and between the "ball shaver" and "the finite laps around the sun" I found myself buying this car the next day... Adopting the ballshaver and the finity of life as a crede to live by. Thank you sir for this gift!
I have an Audi TT and love it. There's nothing to not like.
I disagree mine and the ones my friends have have all given us the same problems. It's only fun when it runs.
WonkyBomb don’t treat it like shit it’s an old car I’ve owned the 225 one for a month now.
LOL I'm sure there's PLENTY not to like about Audi in general.
WonkyBomb the 1.8t is very reliable. My gf has one for almost 300k km now and nothing except maintenance.
@@t-bone9239 LOL ur GF sounds about as dumb as u......
At first i really didnt like the styling of the TT, too round too soft, but after looking at it for a while its growing on me. Still probably never going to buy one but if i had to owning one wouldnt be that bad.
good review , great commentary. liked this one alot :)
You just referred to this man's Audi as a ballshaver and you did it in a positive way. Way to go, Regular.
Owner is like a little weasel. In his little Audi.
+RegularCars Copy and pasting that comment like an boss!
+Eggly Bagelface MY POOP is HARD AGAIN

The *Audi* *TT* is of course *not* named after the Tourist Trophy race on the Isle of Man.
I stalled my Honda Fit on my first drive home with it as much as you did this Audi in this video.
That bit at the end is exactly why I want a 3rd gen MR2.
It's a reliable, pretty, fun, and economical 2 seater.
I like the Audi TT. It looks good, and the girls like it when you show up in one. And they are also capable of a lot of hp.
***** you can get respect in this; it beats most of those other street regular cars, and got some Audi quality over it. You aint so sure about your own sexuallity? Haha
+Talford Winstonworth remeber that its not the car who is choosing your and its personality, its the other way around. you can make it the way you want. a car enthusiast wouldnt say the things you comment on here
Car enthusiasts that laugh at you because of your personal choice in cars are not real car enthusiasts in my book and therefore thier opinions don't matter to me. I regularly drive my girlfriend's Honda Fit that says "I love my ferrets" on a bumper sticker that has hearts all over it. The car practically screams female driver and I could care less. What complete strangers think of me is unimportant.
+Talford Winstonworth I bet you get 0 respect from guys because your name is tallfurd winstonwerthless
+Talford Winstonworth You are the damn troll! I don't know how you don't recognize that. I'm not sure if you have a personal vendetta against the TT or not, but it's pretty laughable how insecure of your sexuality you seem to be. Why the hell do you care what someone will or won't think when SOMEONE ELSE drives the car they own?
Nice camera angle at 3:40.
It’s like you’re in my brain!
I loved my first gen and I’m about to buy a 3rd gen TTS on Monday. I also own at least two Philips BodyGroom shavers (and the boys - if they could talk - would thank me).
Keep being you, RCR. Much love from the North Carolina coast.
🤔 *maybe I should start a TH-cam channel*
Was not expecting an existential video but here we are.

HA - HAAAAAAAAAAAA Phil Ken Sebben reference??
multiple entendres
The TT and the Miata both make me smile everytime I see them and I love both for being the negative in terms of styling
that last quote by you rcr, is actually very deep.
Honestly if I wanted a car with this styling, I'd get a 350z.
Krystal Myth I pat myself on the back endless for getting one so I say with confidence the 350z is a sweet ride. Quite harsh on the Tein coils it’s riding on but fun factor is huge
350 is quicker stock to
