Ratty Rescue: Jersey Shore GTI

Must. Not. Make. MTV references. Today’s Ratty Rescue may have spent too much time in the sun, it’s definitely been around the block a few times, and its star is definitely faded (so much for not making references to Snooki and her crew). If you liked our Find Of The Day earlier this week, well, this GTI needs some GTL: some gym, tanning, and laundry.

Gym
With over 170,000 miles, this hot hatch has seen some action. The seller, VWVortex member gtiboy66, has done some work on the car recently. It has a new clutch, flywheel, PCV system, and a few other things. The ad states the car runs and drives well, but The Situation is probably not quite perfect with this GTI’s performance. With a few performance injections, this hatch can get back to hottie status. A KO4 turbocharger upgrade would be like a testosterone injection.

Tanning
Like the fine lines around JWoww’s eyes, the body of this GTI needs some attention. The clearcoat is neither; it’s now far from clear and it certainly doesn’t cover the entire car. It’s time to get this car out of the sun and get it to a professional body shop ASAP.

Laundry
While we’re sure gtiboy66 has taken good care of this car, with 178,000 miles, this GTI will need a good scrubbing. The one interior photo doesn’t show the overall condition of the inside, so you’ll need to request more. We’ll refrain from mentioning dead peeling skin, protein farts, and crusty bronzer in the fabric. You’re welcome.

What’s so great with this GTI? With a price similar to an off-season shore rental, there are lots of funds left for enhancements. For only $4,800, you’ll be fist-pumping all the way to the club. Take a look at the ad in our classifieds for more information.

Tell Snooki we said hi.

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...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
