My new (to me) car! Mk8 Golf R in Lapiz Blue. So far, the perfect dad car! Fast, loud, and obnoxious when I’m in the mood, and quiet, practical, and refined when I’m not!

@snazzyq those floor mats! 😍
@jabronus what do you think of the Playstation Portal? I’ve been considering one after I tried streaming to my Steam Deck and immediately missed the rumble/adaptive triggers…
@BasicAppleGuy love these new stickers! Do you plan to do a restock of the enamel pins? I’d love to rep one on my backpack.
@timstevens man, that blue Merc really pops in the winter!
@timstevens I’m curious what kind of G Wagen customer you think would pick this over the ICE one? Are there benefits the average person would realize spending the extra on the EV? As a prevailing elite of the off-roaders, how do the 4WD systems compare between the EV and ICE powertrains?
@timstevens thank you! Huge miss not implementing CarPlay or Android Auto IMO. Their interface seems very polished, but there's no replacement for the exceptional user experience we've come to expect from CP/AA. As an Apple user, Apple Music support is appreciated, but comon guys.
@timstevens so cool that you’ve had it that long! A maniacal red time capsule!
@timstevens what changes have they made for the 2nd gen? How’s the software held up/evolved since launch? Build quality?
@timstevens the noise must have been horrifying!
