- JMII Any RWD car on a track. Your reference points for handling and braking will be completely reset. I've tracked both a 350Z and C7 Z51 and my impressions of both vehicles changed when compared to street driving them.
- MrGreenMan A Buick Grand National. Even if it is a hot-air breather. The shake and rattle of the body, the desire for the engine to do more, the quirky Buick take on how a turbo should work with the variable oil pressure - even as the General stumbled and fell, the old boy was barely breathing, but the heart was beating in a few corners. The 80s cars were abysmal, but this one just felt like it wanted to be something more than mediocre slop.

- Paul Alexander I love that TTAC is serving the audience of 8 ID.Buzz owners across the US and Canada. There's probably another dozen of general VW EV enthusiasts as well. Absurdity!
