Golf Rs hold their value nicely.

You have to add the cost of a second vehicle...which is what in going through now while looking for my next car.

If you are looking for a 1LE, you probably have some boring year round car already.

Maybe. Otherwise you'll need one.

I'm flip flopping back and forth between a 4 season car and a 3 season car + beater(ish) car.

Continental kit on a Studebaker Lark

Continental kits are ridiculous on anything.

lol...yep I agree. Years ago while in Seattle I spotted a Continental kit on a 2006+ S Class Benz, it looked utterly ridiculous on that car. Had lots of pics of it too but the phone got destroyed sadly.

Here it is...pics posted sometime this afternoon. Even has the radar cruise.  Pretty sure it's a 2016 though. (Autos.ca own 2016-2018 Golf R tests show different wheels each year.)

I have no doubt that's what he traded it for...unfortunately the kid (to me - might be 40?) who runs the place knows what a performance car is...but I should ask anyway, no?  ;D At least for a test drive.

And yes, rather have a 5.0 or 1LE - I already have an AWD car. And it's not German so it'll last for-almost-ever.  :run:

How about a 1950 Studebaker Starlite coupe?

I always thought they were quite nice looking things, especially compared to some of the stodgy competition or the time.

Those wheels were standard for 2017, the other ones you're talking about were an option.
