Find of the Day: A $4500 R32

The first generation R32 really needs no introduction around these parts, so we’ll just go ahead and skip it.  Couple their well-earned reputation with the surprisingly graceful aging of the Mk4 platform, and it really should come as no surprise that these cars still command a premium.  So with that in mind, for someone with an abundance of time, know-how and patience, this Tornado Red example just might be the best $4500 they ever spend.

Having traveled roughly 320,000 miles in its lifetime, this R32 certainly will need its fair share of work.  Things like paint (dreaded Tornado Red clear coat issues, dings and rock chips), what we can only assume to be a very tired suspension, and other issues that come from traveling the equivalent of nearly 13 laps around the earth will all need to be addressed.  But if you’re willing to  put in the wrench time, it could be a pretty cool commuter that you wouldn’t be afraid to put miles on.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...
