liked our gti reviews now you can buy the guitar strap

Alright, so the car in the photo is almost certainly not a GTI — not on steelies with no red trim. That’s a poverty-spec Euro Mk2, methinks. But the great people at Couch do have some GTI fabric guitar straps, if you want a bit of that old eight-valve mojo.

That is what an ’85 GTI looks like. It was apparently Motor Trend’s Car Of The Year. Well, I’ve always said that you can’t go wrong buying the MT COTY.

Here’s the interior of a well-cared-for ’85 GTI.

And here’s the guitar strap. If you’re interested in picking up a neat “upcycled” way to hang a guitar, you should check them out. Disclaimer: Your humble author owns about forty-something Couch straps, and has paid full price for each one.

After the last Couch article I mentioned their site to my wife and she ended up buying her brother a blue vinyl GTO trunk liner guitar strap. He loves it.

JMII Hyundai Santa Cruz, which doesn't do "truck" things as well as the Maverick does.How so? I see this repeated often with no reference to exactly what it does better.As a Santa Cruz owner the only things the Mav does better is price on lower trims and fuel economy with the hybrid. The Mav's bed is a bit bigger but only when the SC has the roll-top bed cover, without this they are the same size. The Mav has an off road package and a towing package the SC lacks but these are just some parts differences. And even with the tow package the Hyundai is rated to tow 1,000lbs more then the Ford. The SC now has XRT trim that beefs up the looks if your into the off-roader vibe. As both vehicles are soft-roaders neither are rock crawling just because of some extra bits Ford tacked on.I'm still loving my SC (at 9k in mileage). I don't see any advantages to the Ford when you are looking at the medium to top end trims of both vehicles. If you want to save money and gas then the Ford becomes the right choice. You will get a cheaper interior but many are fine with this, especially if don't like the all touch controls on the SC. However this has been changed in the '25 models in which buttons and knobs have returned.
Analoggrotto I'd feel proper silly staring at an LCD pretending to be real gauges.
Gray gm should hang their wimpy logo on a strip mall next to Saul Goodman's office.
1995 SC No
Analoggrotto I hope the walls of Mary Barra's office are covered in crushed velvet.
