2022 Volkswagen Golf GTI Review: How the Hot Hatch Icon Stays Relevant After 45 Years
The Iconic Hot Hatch Returns: Inside the Latest Golf GTI
As an ardent fan who’s owned three GTIs over the last 15 years, few new car launches get me as excited as a new generation of the iconic hot hatch. The Mk8 2022 model ushers the GTI into a high-tech new era while retaining that raw, analogue driving feel intrinsic to its DNA.
A Brief History of an Icon
Ever since the first Mk1 GTI introduced the concept of an attainable, performance-oriented “hot hatch” to the masses in 1976, driving enthusiasts have had a new affordable toy. My first was a handed-down Mk2 from the late 80s, complete with plaid cloth seats cramping four friends during high school cruises along winding backroads (sorry Mom!). But as I upgraded over the next decade from a Mk4 to Mk6, power, tech and refinement increased without losing that playful spirit.
Mk8 Brings Big Upgrades Under a Familiar Shape
You’d be forgiven for not immediately noticing the Mk8 as all-new – the rounded silhouette and C-pillar “kink” are trademark GTI. But under the skin lies the biggest overhaul yet, sitting on VW’s latest MQB platform packing upgraded systems. Options like matrix LED headlights, a digital cockpit and driver assistance systems bring the GTI clearly into the 2020s. Yet a multi-function perforated leather wheel and trademark plaid seats keep that classic identity. More Power with Serious efficiency GTI fans care most about what’s under the hood, and the Mk8’s turbocharged 2.0-liter engine adds 13 hp for a total 241 hp and 273 lb-ft torque - hugely usable grunt. My DSG test car hit 60mph in under 6 seconds thanks to that immediate shove, while delivering 34 mpg highway. And the optional performance exhaust pops and crackles just enough to satisfy when revved, without annoying the neighbors constantly. Balanced, Playful Handling Remains Core Strength Through sweeping curves of my favorite SoCal canyon routes, the GTI stayed planted and lively. The new VAQ limited-slip differential meant I could really lean on the accurate steering and impressive grip levels from wider tires before gentle understeer curbed my momentum. Adaptive dampers on certain trims add greater compliance in comfort mode too. It’s still the trusty Front-wheel drive balance that makes the GTI so satisfying to chuck around bends. Gearbox Options to Suit Any Driver Stick-shift fans can rejoice as VW retained the standard 6-speed manual for ultimate involvement, with auto rev-matching helping smooth shifts. But most will opt for the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic that suits the GTI’s torque-rich character - snappy, smart shifts to better accelerate but still highly responsive using paddles. I’d welcome the manual’s added driver connection, but won’t mourn losing the DSG’s convenience in traffic.
How Rivals Compare
Having tested the latest Civic Type R and Hyundai i30 N Performance, the Mk8 GTI keeps pace with these FWD heavies while undercutting entry prices. The Honda and Hyundai build on front-drive with their less-sophisticated platforms by adding power or handling sharpness – turning up extremes where the GTI takes a more holistic approach. All three deliver huge grins, but the GTI remains that all-weather, all-condition dynamo.
Why it Matters
As electric swells, SUVs dominate and autonomous looms, few cars engage a driver’s senses like the 2022 GTI. It's an icon that helped define the hot hatch formula of blending real-world practicality with responsive handling, communicative feedback and usable performance. The Mk8 carries that torch, with a maturity that should woo enthusiasts for another generation. Few cars so consistently deliver driving joys with such an infectious spirit as the GTI for the money.

The automobile industry is hugely competitive in the United States. With dozens of manufacturers and hundreds of models to choose from, car buyers have many options to consider. But a few select vehicles stand out from the crowd as the top sellers. These incredibly popular cars attract buyers thanks to their compelling combination of style, features, performance, and value. This article will count down the 5 vehicles that sell the most units in America each year. We'll look at sales data and analyze why these models outpace their competitors. Reading this will help you understand the hottest selling cars in the country and what influences car shoppers. Methodology To determine the top selling cars, we examined sales data from auto industry sources like Autodata Corporation. This covered 2021 calendar year US retail sales of passenger cars and light trucks. We focused on models, not brands, and excluded commercial vans or heavy trucks. Sales numbers for individual models were sorted from highest to lowest. The following sections will profile the 5 best selling vehicles in detail starting with #5. For each we'll overview its background, notable features, trim levels, performance specs, pricing, and what likely makes it so popular with buyers compared to segment competitors. #5 - Honda Civic The first car we'll profile is the Honda Civic which came in fifth place for US sales in 2021. The Civic is Honda's storied compact car that was first introduced back in 1972. It's one of the Japanese automaker's most recognizable and longest running nameplates. The Civic is currently in its 11th generation which debuted for model year 2022. Available as a sedan, coupe or hatchback, the contemporary Civic delivers practicality, efficiency, value, and fun. Here's an overview of what this popular compact offers car shoppers: Background and History Launched in 1972, the Civic is one of Honda's longest running and most successful models. It helped establish Honda's reputation building affordable, fun, fuel-efficient cars. Over 12 generations, more than 16 million Civics have been sold in America. The Civic is currently in its 11th generation released for 2022 after a full redesign. Key Features and Specs Two engine choices available: A 158hp 2.0L naturally aspirated or 180hp 1.5L turbocharged engine. Both offer great fuel economy up to 42 mpg highway. The interior leans modern and sporty with ample passenger room and cargo space. Available transmissions are a CVT or 6-speed manual depending on trim. Standard active safety tech includes collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims get further upgraded styling, premium audio, leather seats, moonroof, and 18-inch alloy wheels. MSRP ranges from $22,000 for base LX to $28,000 for top Touring trim. Why It Sells Well Several factors likely contribute to the Civic's continued popularity and sales success in the US market: Proven reputation for quality, reliability, and durability over decades on the market. A perennial favorite compact car with available coupe, sedan, or hatchback body styles. Strong value proposition with good fuel mileage and low cost of ownership. Engaging driving dynamics make it fun to drive for an affordable compact commuter car. Honda's brand appeal and consumer confidence in the Civic nameplate. Extensive selection of trims from LX to Touring allows customized builds. Standard active safety tech and modern infotainment keep it competitive. With almost 300,000 units sold last year, the venerable Civic keeps finding ways to appeal to new generations of car shoppers looking for an affordable, practical and fuel efficient vehicle. #4 - Toyota Camry Coming in fourth place is the legendary Toyota Camry midsize sedan. This stoic family car has been a best-seller in America for decades thanks to Toyota's reputation for durability combined with comfort, space, and value.
The Camry dominates the shrinking midsize sedan segment even as SUVs erode car sales. Here's an overview of Toyota's bread-and-butter family car contender: Background and History Launched in 1983, the Camry is Toyota's mass-market midsize sedan sold globally. Its name comes from an Anglicized phonetic translation of the Japanese word "kanmuri” meaning "crown.” The Camry quickly earned praise for affordability, smooth ride, and excellent build quality. It is Toyota's second longest running nameplate behind the Corolla. The Camry is currently in its eighth generation released for model year 2018. Key Features and Specs Available with a 203hp 2.5L 4-cylinder or 301hp 3.5L V6 engines. The base four-cylinder engine offers exemplary fuel economy up to 38mpg highway. Smooth comfortable ride with supportive front seats and plentiful legroom. Standard infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on all trims. Available hybrid drivetrain on certain trims achieves upwards of 52mpg combined. Advanced safety tech standard like collision warning, pedestrian detection and radar cruise control. MSRP ranges from $25,000 for the base LE trim up to $35,000 for the XSE V6. Why It Sells Well The Camry continues outpacing most competitors in the midsize sedan segment thanks to: Toyota's sterling reputation for build quality, reliability and high resale value. Comfortable, quiet cabin ideal for commuting or family road trips. Strong value proposition with decent fuel economy and reasonable pricing. The hybrid model's excellent MPG ratings appealing to eco-focused shoppers. Standard active safety tech and modern infotainment on par with rivals. Familiar styling won't deter loyal Toyota shoppers looking for a sensible midsize sedan. With over 300,000 sold last year, the Camry keeps printing sales and performs well attracting new generations of Toyota loyalists in the declining sedan market. #3 - Ford F-Series Pickup Trucks Bronze medal for US sales goes to the Ford F-Series pickup trucks, America's perennial best-selling vehicles for over four decades now. The F-150 drives Ford truck sales, while the Super Duty series also sells well targeting commercial buyers and contractors. This full-size truck dynasty remains massively popular year after year thanks to its capabilities, performance, and brand image. Let's analyze Ford's light-duty and heavy-duty truck sales dominance: Background and History Ford's F-Series pickups first debuted in 1948 and have been the best-selling vehicles in America since 1977. Generations are indicated by F-150, F-250, F-350, etc. but "F-Series" refers to the whole truck line. Highly profitable and important revenue generator for Ford. The latest models represent the aluminum-bodied 13th generation F-150 and fourth Super Duty generation. Over 800,000 units sold in 2021 showcases astounding market stranglehold. Key Features and Specs Wide range of cab and bed configurations allow ideal specs for work or play. Numerous trim options from the base XL work truck to lux Platinum and King Ranch. Four available engine choices: A 290hp 3.3L V6, 400hp 5.0L V8, 450hp 3.5L turbo V6, and 475hp High Output 3.5L turbo V6. Max towing of 13,000 lbs and payload of 3,325 lbs when properly equipped. Off-road ready FX4 package and torquey turbo diesel option on certain models. Advanced tech like Pro Trailer Backup Assist and onboard generator available. MSRP from $30,000 on base F-150 XL to over $80,000 for fully loaded Limited. Why It Sells Well The F-Series succeeds on its capabilities, customization, and brand equity: Highly versatile for work, recreation, or family hauling needs. Strong residual value and resale value appeal to cost-conscious truck buyers. Wide range of trim levels from bare bones XL to luxurious Limited. Advanced tech and towing/payload capabilities target contractors and truck traditional
ists. Powerful available V8 engines and off-road packages carry machismo truck appeal. Longevity and reputation make it a safe familiar choice. Given this formula, it's no surprise Ford sells hundreds of thousands each year even with extensive competition from brands like Chevy, GMC, Ram and Toyota. The F-Series juggernaut shows no signs of letting up. #2 - Chevrolet Silverado Pickup Trucks Giving its arch-rival Ford a run for its money, the Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks nab second place for best selling vehicles in America. Like the F-Series, Chevy's half-ton Silverado and its heavy-duty Silverado variants offer full-size truck versatility, performance, and familiarity. As Ford and Chevy's truck war rages on, the Silverado continues holding its own as a top-selling model thanks to its blend of capabilities, technology, and brand awareness. Let's analyze Chevy's perennial pickup sales success: Background and History The Silverado nameplate debuted in 1998, replacing the long-running C/K line of Chevrolet trucks. It represents the GMC equivalent of the Sierra truck line though they share platforms. Available in half-ton 1500, mid-duty 2500, and large 3500 variants. Analysts estimate Ford and Chevy trucks account for roughly 90% of the full-size segment. Over 580,000 Silverado units sold in 2021, keeping close pace with Ford. Key Features and Specs Three main engine choices: A 285hp 4.3L V6, 310hp 5.3L V8, and 420hp 6.2L V8. Max conventional towing of 14,500 lbs when properly configured. Wide range of cabs, beds, trim levels from Work Truck to High Country. Available off-road tuned Z71 or trailboss packages. Latest models have updated interior styling with large touchscreens and improved materials. Advanced safety tech and camera tech aid trailering or off-roading. MSRP from $30,000 for base Work Truck to over $60,000 for High Country. Why It Sells Well The Silverado's popularity comes down to: Strong brand loyalty and familiarity with Chevy trucks over decades. Market leader in half-ton truck sales, in tight competition with Ford. Strong residual values and domestic brand appeal. Rugged customization from spartan Work Truck to lux High Country trims. Capability offerings like power, towing, and off-road packages attract contractors and outdoor enthusiasts. Gas, diesel, and even all-electric options now available. Given the fierce competition, it’s impressive Chevrolet moves 500,000+ Silverado units annually. It gives buyers a familiar and capable alternative to the Ford truck dynasty. #1 - Toyota RAV4 And now, the best-selling vehicle in 2021 and winner of the sales crown is the Toyota RAV4 compact crossover SUV. This modestly sized SUV dominates thanks to Toyota's reputation blended with versatility, value, and available hybrid fuel efficiency. The RAV4 demonstrates car shoppers ongoing pivot away from cars toward SUVs and crossovers. Let's examine Toyota's sales juggernaut that dethroned decades of truck dominance: Background and History The RAV4 pioneered the compact crossover SUV segment when it launched in 1994. Previously, light truck models were larger and more rugged body-on-frame SUVs. It offered car-like handling and fuel efficiency paired with light off-road and utility capabilities. RAV4 stands for "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel drive.” Early generations had more squared-off small SUV styling compared to today's smoother profile. Key Features and Specs Standard 203hp 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or available 219hp hybrid powertrain. Available all-wheel-drive is ideal for inclement weather handling. Comfortable ride and handling make it drive like a passenger car. Roomy interior passenger and cargo room for the compact segment. Available hybrid trims achieve up to 40mpg combined fuel economy. Standard Toyota Safety Sense package with collision warning and avoid
ance. MSRP ranges from $27,000 for the base LE trim up to $37,000 for the TRD Off-Road model. Why It Sells Well The RAV4 hits a sweet spot blending practicality, efficiency, value, and versatility: Toyota's legendary reputation for durability, reliability and resale value. Excellent fuel economy from the standard gas engine or hybrid model. Reasonable pricing positions it well versus SUV rivals. All-weather security of available AWD without a true SUV's off-road tradeoffs. Familiar crossover styling inside and out make it a safe mainstream choice. With over 500,000 units moved in 2021, the RAV4's formula resonates broadly with SUV intenders. It dethroned Ford trucks by tailoring Toyota's strengths for the growing crossover market. The RAV4 reigns supreme as America's new best-selling vehicle. FAQs Car buyers researching the most popular vehicles often have similar questions. Here are answers to frequently asked questions about 2021's best selling cars, SUVs, and trucks: What are the top 10 best selling vehicles in the US? Toyota RAV4 Chevrolet Silverado Ford F-Series Toyota Camry Honda Civic Nissan Rogue Honda CR-V Toyota Highlander Ram Pickup Trucks Toyota Corolla Do car sales leaders typically change much year over year? The top selling car rankings tend to remain relatively stable year over year. Full-size Ford and Chevy trucks are almost always #1 and #2. The Toyota Camry midsize sedan is normally in the top five. But there are sometimes shakeups like in 2021 when the RAV4 crossover became #1. What auto segments are growing or declining in sales? Crossovers are gaining sales while sedan demand shrinks. Trucks remain hot sellers while minivans cool off. Electrics and hybrids are growing too. Overall SUVs represent around 50% of US auto sales now. Why do pickups continue leading sales? Full-size trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado remain top sellers thanks to capabilities like towing and hauling. Brand loyalty, residual value, and familiarity also drive truck sales. Contractors and outdoor enthusiasts value their power and performance. How have economic conditions impacted auto sales? New and used car prices have risen due to low inventory and supply chain issues. Interest rates rising also increases monthly payments. But demand remains fairly resilient and many Americans still need personal vehicles. In summary, America's best selling vehicles represent a diverse mix of consumer priorities. Buyers turn to long-running nameplates known for value, efficiency, style or capabilities. While the market evolves and new trends emerge, expect most sales leaders to enjoy stable demand. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

Buyers turn to long-running nameplates known for value, efficiency, style or capabilities. While the market evolves and new trends emerge, expect most sales leaders to enjoy stable demand. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

Devil’s Night Part 3: A Green Man
<<———😵💫———>>
AN: I’m chopping a huge post down into manageable chunks. Hope you enjoy. Triggers: two not-brothers flirting, my sense of humor, treasure hunts, kitchens. Ded & Gonne is and will always be a gen fic.
Ded & Gonne || Devil’s Night || Start || Prev || Next
<<———😵💫———>>
“Is there such a thing as a sub-sub-basement?” It’s Klaus asking.
They’ve emerged from a non-descript door on an oddly ornate hallway. Lots of gilding. Crowns. Mouldings. Cherubs all over the place, a green man, and a gargoyle or two here and there. Wyrd-looking little squidgy symbols in random places, like the carpet, and light switches. A complete suit of armor. Other fancy stuff rich people would buy. For a really fancy sub-sub-basement.
Klaus asks, “Which way, Bennerino? This is your story, after all, and you get the honors of directing the particulars. You could even order me around, if that would cheer you up.”
That would definitely cheer Ben up. He needs to find a way of keeping Klaus willing to be bossed around indefinitely. Problem for another day.
Turning back to his not-brother, Klaus decides that Ben’s facial expression isn’t one to be trifled with. He can put off trifling for a while, for Ben’s sake. “Yes, dear one?” Klaus responds with fluttering lashes.
Turning back to his not-brother, Klaus decides that Ben’s facial expression isn’t one to be trifled with. He can put off trifling for a while, for Ben’s sake. “Yes, dear one?” Klaus responds with fluttering lashes.
Ben swallows heavily. He wants to kill Klaus, but that would be a little too on the nose for Devil’s Night. “Shut up and tell me how the hell this Devil’s Night thing is supposed to be a story. What exactly about this thing screams story to you?” is what Ben had wanted to say. Instead, he attempts the word “story” with a question mark at the end. Unfortunately, the explosive breath required by the word “story” is not available at the time due to losing his vocal chords. So he splutters a bunch of consonants, hoping “s,ry?” is close enough for Klaus to unpack.
Klaus unpacks. “Simple, Ben. We scare the shit out of each other as many times as possible between sundown and sunrise on Halloween morning. And then we get to tell everyone a bunch of awesome stories about how scared we got. Didn’t Dad make you guys play this?”
“Nnn,” Ben rasps his answer, and attempts to sigh a sigh of forbearance. Such a martyr, that Ben. “Storytelling? I’m sorry. But storytelling wasn’t a thing at the Sparrow Academy,” he would have responded, voice thick with disdain (rather than pain). Instead, he gives up and shakes his head, no.
“Really? Dad thought it was really important for our missions and the fate of the world that we tell good stories.”
“Namae nnnsense,” Ben whispers, lip curled, without explosive letters, and eyes squinting in doubt and pain.
“Sure it does. Like, ‘It was a dark and stormy night near Boston, when a short man — about 5’2” maybe, with a mustache, and a muscular build which looked really odd on such a tiny individual. He wore black leather jeans way too tight to hold out hope of ever producing enough live swimmers to father a child one day, a lime green t-shirt, and a lime green Mohawk. A caucasian male driving a 2012 Honda Civic Hatchback — beat me up and left me for dead at mile marker 25 on the Mass Pike heading west, before the Framingham exit. The license plate was suspicious.’ There. That’s a story. A really short and helpful one.”
“Cool story, bro,” says Ben, back to his eye-rolling sarcasm. It comes out more like a tiny, “Lll rrry, ro.” Again, the explosive letters giving him trouble. The humming, nasal letters, not so much.
A sharp left and on down a dark-ish hallway leads them to what Ben is guessing was once the belowstairs area for kitchen staff. A lightswitch proves the electricity still works, shocking, and a few footsteps into the largest room gives them a clear look at their treasure. At an industrial kitchen.
The layer of dust on the kitchen floor alone is at least an inch thick. Like an actual, measurable inch. Walking through it feels like disturbing freshly fallen snow. Plus the room has that eerie quiet that hangs over everything during a snowfall. Not a soul has traversed the room in, well, as many years as it takes to gather an inch of dust. The surfaces are even worse, which, if you really think about it, is not normal. Being abnormal in the sense that it lacks logic in almost every way.
It strikes Klaus as odd that the room lacks any trace of smell. On the contrary, it is a particularly noticeable freshness after what they’ve just come through.
No scent at all. Not musty, nor antiseptic, nor lemon-scented fresh. Nor like shit water, rot, or dead things. Ben smells no scent of freshly grilled and steaming fillet mignon, left to rest in peace, while the drippings are kept at a rolling boil for the Yorkshire pudding. As if food has never been prepared in this room. Not a sign of grunge, nor of stained surfaces. The kitchen appliances, the paint, the cabinets, countertops, all of it appears a lot newer than the rest of the, well, the rest of the entire building, actually.
The cupboards are officially bare. Officially. Not a dish nor a plate, let alone grilling utensils. And certainly no booze. And you know as well as anyone else that Klaus is a pro at finding booze, so, naturally, he’s checked. Like he’s really checked very hard.
Retracing their steps, a sharp right leads them out of the belowstairs quarters. On their way back, they continue beyond their original point of entry, and past more of the wyrd finery. This end of the hall culminates in a formal dining room. Don’t picture the one where Luther and Sloane got married. It’s not that cavernous, nor as twinkly and sparkly. But it’s got something the wedding didn’t. ooooWOOOOoooo
The glass French doors into the room stand open, as if expecting guests. Klaus is struck dumb. (That’s a miracle, by the way. Never happens.) The only occupants of the entire room are one long dining table and enough chairs for a substantial family or two — well over 20 chairs, possibly 30. The opulence of that dining table and its chairs is remarkable. So is the length. “It’s long. Longer than you were picturing, isn’t it, Ben. Like, stupid long,” Klaus remarks. “Normally I’d say who has room for that? But this room has room, so I guess they got what they paid for.”
As with every other room they’ve investigated (peeked into) thus far, the dining room is thick with dust, which kicks up from the floor into swirling eddies as they enter. Even the small panes of glass in the doors are covered in a layer of silt. Not just a dusting, but a mass of it clinging to the glass as if it’s been trapped there in an oily substance.
Ben now has a greater sense of foreboding than the foreboding he’d already been having, because the room, for all its opulence, has no windows to the outside world. Possibly because it’s a sub-sub-basement, but it could be for other reasons, too.
Against the far wall stands a massive, totally unexpected, green man.
“Look!” Klaus whisper-shouts, pointing at the green man. “It’s a green man!” He approaches the huge face. A man’s face, and only his face, Klaus can see that it had been cast in some sort of metal. The pink kind that turns green with age. Copper?
Ben stands back to take in the whole of it. Oval, tapering at the top and bottom. Almost like a huge imitation of a battle shield. Definitely not pretending to be a shield for actual fighting, Ben’s thinking. Not with this kind of ornately sculpted surface. No, this is pretending to be a formal, ceremonial shield. He couldn’t even guess what the weight of this thing would be to hang. He inspects it closely. Nah, that whole thing can’t be solid copper, that’s insane. Could it?
Ben has been fascinated by something other than conflict so rarely in his life, that he doesn’t even realize he’s been sucked in. “What are you on about? What’s a green man?”
Klaus turns slowly around, with the careful excitement of a small child who is in love with a new toy, but is afraid that even though his daddy gave it to him, he is about to take it right back out of Klausie’s chubby little baby hands. “Ooh! Ooh! I know this one.” Klaus stands up straighter, and holds his hands behind his back, while trying not to bounce on his toes. He speaks as if he’s giving a report. Maybe one of those ‘stories’ he likes so much. “They are pagan protector spirits or elementals in the Celtic lands stretching all the way back to the time of the druids. oooooWOOOOooooo, spooky.” Twinkle fingers. “But yeah,” he scritches his beard. “I dunno, though, something smells fishy. Because this big guy over here is a little bit younger than he should be, if he’s a green man.” Scratching his beard, he adds, “It’s not ancient. Not even medieval.” He is correct, it’s neither ancient nor medieval.
Klaus steps in closer to check out the detailing. Leaves grow in place of hair. His eyebrows, likewise, have grown leaves. Like an elemental would do. And the mustache and beard, also leaves. Standing up straight again, Klaus returns to his oral report. “Green Men are said to watch over rivers, lakes, streams, and woodlands. Doesn’t he look like he’s surfacing through his greenery? I don’t know about you Benny Bear, but I’m curious just what kind of greenery he’s been surfacing through. Think he’s got a leaf stuck in his teeth?”
Klaus walks up to only a nose’s distance, just to see what he can see, and starts to fondle the green man.
Not quite how it sounds. He’s running his fingers over bits of it, following every swirl in the lines of the oak leaf on one of its eyebrows. Or the lips, which seem about to speak. “Mirror, mirror, on the wall…that green man sure is tall. Am I right, ben? Yeah!”
Ben agrees. Stubbornly, so he doesn’t make it too easy for Klaus to have him around. Old habits blah blah blah whatever.
Thing is, Ben has been watching Klaus stroking down the length of the nose, and onward to the- the whatever it was they were- what were they- the fingers following sinuous lines. He shakes his head free of the hot, pink cobwebs that have suddenly regrown in the corners of his brain.
Klaus isn’t so much in a stupor as he is completely engrossed in his sensory experience, following all those snaking curves and ridges. “Boop!” Klaus pokes the Green Man in the eye.
Silently swinging open, the green man is a door.
No screech, creaks nor groans, no carpet to get caught on, unless you count all the dust. He would have at least expected the door to sound like metal against wood — whatever that sounds like. Or even a “fwoosh” sound. But nothing. Dead air.
“Ben? I’ve got a feelin, man. I’m thinkin like, maybe we shouldn’t go out there, y’know? This door was, it was way too easy. Right? I mean, that, that’s like a secret door, y’know? It should be harder to open.”
Klaus is actually quite shaken by this. “I’ve seen Indiana Jones and I know what it means when something is way too easy to open. Bad things happen. Bad.”

WAY OF MOVING ME For two years now, I've been engaged in a pretty steady struggle against rising inflation and reduced income, desperately trying to replace my old car before it fell out from under. In the end, my 2009 Honda Civic had 311,000km, an expired MVI, and needed body work, rocker panels, new tires, brake pads, and other deferred maintenance. I really ran it into the ground these past six months, trying like crazy to save those last few thousand for a replacement without spending it on repairs. But I've got no complaints. That car was a dream to drive, absolutely reliable, always started up straight with no worries. Sure, it was rough and rickety, and the AC and passenger window never worked. But it quickly revolutionized the way I make a living, opened up a wider map beyond the old familiar roads I'd gotten to know too well. It was my very first car, and I'll always feel a certain nostalgia for that. Today, I was finally able to buy this 2015 Nissan Sentra! Cost triple what I'd hoped to spend, but it was a good deal in the current market. That's just how these times are going. Everything works, runs just great, and it's only been driven just over 60,000km. Couldn't possibly have managed this without your support, and I'm so grateful to everyone who buys my books and calendars on Etsy, or supports me monthly on Patreon. So many folks came together to make this happen, from all corners of my world, and I'm just so happy that you think I'm worth it. I've got to say – it's been the hardest year of my life so far, tougher and darker than any I've lived before. It's been hard to shake off those days I hiked out crying in the forest, or sat awake worrying how it'd all turn out. The important thing now is the future; the places I'll go and tales I'll tell, adventures always pending. I'm driving every day, and sights like these have a way of moving me that's hard to explain. Gas stations on the edge of evening, all their blinding fluorescence against the quickly bluing night. They're like beacons on the roadside while I roll on home, off the highway after leaving the woods behind. It's always dark when I'm done this time of year, settled down to a setting sun and lower. That bottom falling out has a way of picking me up, building a belief that I won't be desperate forever. Some say that you make better art when you're hungry, but hunger has a kind of eroding influence. The moths in your wallet are reminders of flights not taken – freedom they have that you haven't. When you feel everything so much deeper than you'd like, you learn to love the upsides. The greatest one I've got is you folks. Hold fast. November 30, 2022 Brooklyn, Nova Scotia Year 16, Day 5498 of my daily journal.

July 15, 2022
Now this IS Marilyn being silly. That is a sample of the rocks they used to build the north and south jetties at the mouth of the Columbia. The jetties helped make the area safer for shipping.
You be the judge!
If you read the description in “A Small Rock For The Jetty” photo, you’ll see it says the rock Marilyn is using for her daily isometric exercise weighs about 30,000 lbs, or the weight of 10 VW Jettas. Why did they use VW Jetta? Why not a Honda Civic, or a Toyota Corolla? They all weigh about the same. I think the original writer of the sign tried to sneak in a pun; “it weights 30,000 lbs, about as much as 10 VW jetties”. But they edited it out, and he is sad to this day. I think they should have left it in.

GTfusiOn 2022 Round 3
Against all odds, the GTfusiOn organisation continues its journey.
For this third part, we head to the United Kingdom where Colin Turkington, 40 years old Northern Irish driver, 4 times BTCC* champion ( 2009, 2014, 2018, 2019 ), 65 Best Tour, will illustrate himself on a Sunday race under a driving rain on Brands Hatch in West Kingsdown in Kent. The weekend started well with a fine 1 , 2 , 3 in qualifying for the BMW drivers, the first time in the 41 year history of the BTCC that a manufacturer has secured the top three places in qualifying. Unfortunately the story of the Friday and Saturday races will soon be forgotten. Having to settle for a meagre fifth place overall in the first race and seventh in the second, it was Josh Cook who won both races in a Honda civic Type R. The wet track did the BMW drivers a disservice.
On Sunday the weather deteriorated, the humidity gave way to rain. The behaviour of the BMWs was very different. Turkington will sign the 25th pole of his career and will add a new victory to the sixty previous ones in BTCC.
Turkington: - "Yesterday we had totally dry conditions and I was on pole and today, in totally wet conditions, I won. It's the intermediate weather that doesn't allow us to fully exploit the BMW and unfortunately we had that in two races today. Clearways, a long straight corner in particular, was a problem all day because there was no grip, but when it rained properly the grip was there and that transformed the day, and the team did a really good job on the set-up throughout the day to make me more comfortable. It's great to get my first win of the year and we'll try to build on that at the next round."
See you at Brands Hatch in the BMW Gr.4 on the weekend of 17,18,19 June for Round 3 of the GTfusiOn 2022 World Team Championship
El-Loco aka Frédéric Vergnanini

Sedans retain key strengths like affordability, efficiency, and responsive handling that make them a preferred choice for many drivers. This in-depth preview highlights the most anticipated new and redesigned sedan models arriving in 2023 and 2024. We’ll overview standouts in categories ranging from economical compacts to electrified and high-performance options. Read on for insider insights into the future of sedans. Sedan Market Overview The share of sedans in the US auto market has declined over the past decade as SUVs and crossovers exploded in popularity. In 2012, sedans accounted for around 33% of vehicle sales compared to just 22% in 2022. Still, various factors continue driving sedan demand: Affordability – Sedans are generally cheaper than SUVs by $2,000-$5,000 when comparing similarly equipped models. You get more features per dollar. Fuel Economy – The sleeker shape and lower weight of sedans boosts mpg by 4-8 mpg on average versus SUVs. This saves considerably on gas costs over time. Ride and Handling – Sedans are engineered for a composed ride and agile handling thanks to their lower center of gravity versus taller SUVs. Ease of Entry/Exit – The lower seating height makes getting in and out simpler compared to climbing up into an SUV. Given these inherent advantages, sedans retain loyal buyers. The new 2023 and 2024 model year sedans aim to continue appealing to these shoppers through fresh designs, new technologies and upgraded performance. Most Exciting New Compact Sedans The compact sedan segment offers an ideal balance of affordability, parking ease and interior roominess. Upcoming debuts include: Honda Civic Honda Civic The venerable Civic sees a full redesign for 2022. The 11th-generation Civic grows slightly but carries over the fun-to-drive personality that draws enthusiasts to the model. All Civics now get the Honda Sensing safety suite standard along with an upgraded interior and the latest infotainment tech. New exterior styling embraces a sleeker, more mature vibe. Offered in sedan and hatchback body styles, the Civic defies the SUV juggernaut by remaining a desirable compact. Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Hyundai delivered a bold exterior restyling of the Elantra for 2021 paired with an impressive tech loadout even on base models. Building on this foundation, Hyundai adds the 201 horsepower Elantra N Line model for 2023. With performance upgrades like a retuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and dedicated styling touches, the N Line provides a sporty variant absent from most competitors. Combined with value pricing, the Elantra stands out from the compact crowd. Mazda 3 Mazda 3 Mazda imbues the Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback with responsive handling and premium cabin materials punching above its weight class. Mazda’s engaging “Jinba Ittai” driving dynamics philosophy sets the Mazda 3 apart from rivals. Turbocharged versions gain an extra 25 horsepower for 2023 resulting in punchy acceleration. The Mazda 3 remains the enthusiast’s choice among compacts. Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza The Subaru Impreza retains its ace in the hole being standard all-wheel drive. This provides traction advantages over front-wheel drive rivals, especially in cold climates. Sedan and hatchback body styles offer practicality, while Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist technology adds active safety. With legendary Subaru build quality and durability, the Impreza warrants consideration from small car buyers needing AWD capability. These compact sedans and hatchbacks inject style and upgrades into a segment facing SUV competition. Drivers can still find the affordability, efficiency and utility they desire in a smaller sedan package. Best All-New Midsize Sedan Contenders The midsize sedan category continues appealing to families needing generous passenger and cargo room without large car prices. Two stalwarts see significant upgrades while others add improvements:
Honda Accord Honda Accord Honda gives the venerable Accord a major refresh for 2023. The exterior styling modernizes with a more chiseled design and standard LED lighting. New luxury and sporty trim lines expand choices for buyers. Technology sees a boost via an available 9-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. Honda also tweaks the Accord Hybrid’s powertrain for quicker acceleration and refined operation. These thorough updates aim to maintain the Accord’s best-selling status. Toyota Camry Toyota Camry Token Camry enhancements this year pave the wave for a mid-cycle refresh likely around the 2024 model year. With Toyota selling over 400,000 Camrys annually, even small changes impact many drivers. Expect styling updates to the exterior and interior, potentially a new infotainment system, and added standard safety gear. The beloved sedan rolls on with top-notch quality and value lacking from many competitors. Hyundai Sonata Hyundai Sonata Redesigned in 2020, the boldly styled Sonata gains a high-performance N Line trim for 2023.

This in-depth preview highlights the most anticipated new and redesigned sedan models arriving in 2023 and 2024. We’ll overview standouts in categories ranging from economical compacts to electrified and high-performance options. Read on for insider insights into the future of sedans. Sedan Market Overview The share of sedans in the US auto market has declined over the past decade as SUVs and crossovers exploded in popularity. In 2012, sedans accounted for around 33% of vehicle sales compared to just 22% in 2022. Still, various factors continue driving sedan demand: Affordability – Sedans are generally cheaper than SUVs by $2,000-$5,000 when comparing similarly equipped models. You get more features per dollar. Fuel Economy – The sleeker shape and lower weight of sedans boosts mpg by 4-8 mpg on average versus SUVs. This saves considerably on gas costs over time. Ride and Handling – Sedans are engineered for a composed ride and agile handling thanks to their lower center of gravity versus taller SUVs. Ease of Entry/Exit – The lower seating height makes getting in and out simpler compared to climbing up into an SUV. Given these inherent advantages, sedans retain loyal buyers. The new 2023 and 2024 model year sedans aim to continue appealing to these shoppers through fresh designs, new technologies and upgraded performance. Most Exciting New Compact Sedans The compact sedan segment offers an ideal balance of affordability, parking ease and interior roominess.

Combined with value pricing, the Elantra stands out from the compact crowd. Mazda 3 Mazda 3 Mazda imbues the Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback with responsive handling and premium cabin materials punching above its weight class. Mazda’s engaging “Jinba Ittai” driving dynamics philosophy sets the Mazda 3 apart from rivals. Turbocharged versions gain an extra 25 horsepower for 2023 resulting in punchy acceleration. The Mazda 3 remains the enthusiast’s choice among compacts. Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza The Subaru Impreza retains its ace in the hole being standard all-wheel drive. This provides traction advantages over front-wheel drive rivals, especially in cold climates. Sedan and hatchback body styles offer practicality, while Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist technology adds active safety. With legendary Subaru build quality and durability, the Impreza warrants consideration from small car buyers needing AWD capability. These compact sedans and hatchbacks inject style and upgrades into a segment facing SUV competition. Drivers can still find the affordability, efficiency and utility they desire in a smaller sedan package.

Toyota Camry Toyota Camry Token Camry enhancements this year pave the wave for a mid-cycle refresh likely around the 2024 model year. With Toyota selling over 400,000 Camrys annually, even small changes impact many drivers. Expect styling updates to the exterior and interior, potentially a new infotainment system, and added standard safety gear. The beloved sedan rolls on with top-notch quality and value lacking from many competitors.

Begini Cara Ampuh Membersihkan Mika Lampu Mobil Lampu mobil, khususnya lampu utama yang terletak di bagian depan merupakan bagian paling vital dalam berkendara. Saat kondisi malam hari, jalanan hujan dan berkabut mika kaca lampu mobil yang buram (kusam) akan membuat sinar lampu kurang maksimal. Sahabat sudah dipastikan akan terganggu dengan cahaya yang kurang dan sangat membahayakan bagi kamu dan pengguna jalan lainnya. Perubahan warna yang terjadi pada mika lampu mobil bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor seperti penggunaan lampu mobil dengan watt tinggi sehingga menimbulkan panas yang berlebih, faktor cuaca, jamur kaca, goresan dan tentunya usia yang sudah cukup lama. Faktor-faktor tersebut menjadi penyebab utama menurunnya performa lampu depan dalam memberikan cahaya ketika berkendara. Mika lampu mobil yang sudah kurang optimal ini dapat dibersihkan dengan cara membawanya ke bengkel salon perawatan mobil. Namun harga yang ditawarkan cukup mahal, sehingga jika kamu ingin sedikit mengeluarkan tenaga ekstra dan waktu yang cukup luang bisa saja membersihkan-nya sendiri dengan peralatan sederhana. Walaupun hasilnya tidak akan semaksimal jika dibawa ke bengkel, namun alat sederhana ini mampu memberikan hasil yang cukup untuk membersihkan mika lampu depan mobil yang sudah usang.. Alat-alat yang harus dipersiapkan : - Kanebo dan kain mikrofiber - Sabun cuci mobil atau sabun cuci piring - Air hangat - Pertamax/Pertalite (Bisa digantikan oleh minyak tanah, namun berbau cukup tajam) - Amplas 1500 dan 2000 - Compound atau Pasta Gigi Untuk cara melakukannya, berikut langkah-langkah membersihkan mika lampu mobil sederhana yang bisa kamu lakukan saat #DiRumahAja Cuci mika lampu mobil Langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah cuci lampu depan mobil Sahabat dengan sabun cuci mobil dan keringkan dengan menggunakan kanebo. Pencucian lampu dilakukan agar kotoran-kotoran yang membandel terangkat sehingga tahap pembersihan selanjutnya maksimal. Meracik ramuan untuk membersihkan lampu mika mobil Kedua adalah campurkan pertamax/pertalite yang kamu sudah siapkan dengan sabun cuci piring, rasio perbandingan sabun cuci piring dengan bensin 60:40 atau 70:30. Jika sudah meracik obat tersebut, mulailah mengamplas dengan amplas 2000 sambil mencelup amplas tersebut ke dalam campuran bensin dengan sabun cuci tersebut. Jika dirasa sudah sedikit bersih, bersihkan lampu dengan air, lalu mulai amplas lagi dengan amplas 1000. Jika mika lampu masih dirasa sangat buram, gunakan amplas 2000 hingga Sahabat merasa sudah cukup lalu keringkan dan lap hingga bersih. Mengoleskan compound atau odol pada lampu mika mobil Langkah selanjutnya adalah mengoleskan compound atau odol secara merata pada permukaan mika kaca lampu mobil. Tetapi untuk hasil yang maksimal Sahabat dianjurkan untuk menggunakan compound, karena compound sendiri merupakan bahan yang bersifat mengikis. Dengan demikian baret maupun lecet pada bodi mobil, kaca lampu depan akan tertutupi. Jika ada baret pada lampu mika mobil Bila terdapat goresan-goresan halus, kita dapat menggunakan amplas 1500. Gosok bagian yang tergores dengan amplas menggunakan air serta cairan alkohol hingga goresan tidak terlihat. Untuk menghindari permukaan cat body mobil tergores amplas, maka daerah sekitar lampu dapat ditutupi dengan kain. Jika dirasa perlu, maka kita dapat menggunakan amplas yang sudah dibasahi air. Jika lampu mika mobil berwarna kuning Pada mika yang buram karena menguning, selain membersihkan dengan kompon, kita bisa membersihkannya dengan pasta gigi. Oleskan pasta gigi secara merata di bagian yang menguning atau buram. Setelah dioles kita bisa membersihkannya menggunakan lap, kanebo atau microfiber, setelah itu bilas menggunakan air bersih lalu keringkan. Cara menggosok mika lampu mobil Cara menggosok yang baik dan benar ketika akan membersihkan kaca lampu depan menggunakan compound adalah dengan menggosok secara perlahan searah jarum jam atau berlawanan dengan jarum jam. Jika Sahabat terlalu menekan ketika membersihkannya, lapisan mika lampu depan sudah dipastikan menjadi tipis. Jangan lupa untuk mengelap compound atau odol dengan lap microfiber yang memiliki permukaan halus sehingga tidak meninggalkan bekas goresan atau lecet. Jika sudah melakukan tahapan-tahapan di atas, coba Sahabat nyalakan lampu mobil dan sorotkan lampu tersebut ke arah tembok untuk memastikan bahwa lampu utama mobil kamu berfungsi dengan maksimal, apabila dirasa belum memberikan cahaya yang baik ulangi langkah-langkah diatas.

Sedans retain key strengths like affordability, efficiency, and responsive handling that make them a preferred choice for many drivers. This in-depth preview highlights the most anticipated new and redesigned sedan models arriving in 2023 and 2024. We’ll overview standouts in categories ranging from economical compacts to electrified and high-performance options. Read on for insider insights into the future of sedans. Sedan Market Overview The share of sedans in the US auto market has declined over the past decade as SUVs and crossovers exploded in popularity. In 2012, sedans accounted for around 33% of vehicle sales compared to just 22% in 2022. Still, various factors continue driving sedan demand: Affordability – Sedans are generally cheaper than SUVs by $2,000-$5,000 when comparing similarly equipped models. You get more features per dollar. Fuel Economy – The sleeker shape and lower weight of sedans boosts mpg by 4-8 mpg on average versus SUVs. This saves considerably on gas costs over time. Ride and Handling – Sedans are engineered for a composed ride and agile handling thanks to their lower center of gravity versus taller SUVs. Ease of Entry/Exit – The lower seating height makes getting in and out simpler compared to climbing up into an SUV. Given these inherent advantages, sedans retain loyal buyers. The new 2023 and 2024 model year sedans aim to continue appealing to these shoppers through fresh designs, new technologies and upgraded performance. Most Exciting New Compact Sedans The compact sedan segment offers an ideal balance of affordability, parking ease and interior roominess.

Offered in sedan and hatchback body styles, the Civic defies the SUV juggernaut by remaining a desirable compact. Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Hyundai delivered a bold exterior restyling of the Elantra for 2021 paired with an impressive tech loadout even on base models. Building on this foundation, Hyundai adds the 201 horsepower Elantra N Line model for 2023. With performance upgrades like a retuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and dedicated styling touches, the N Line provides a sporty variant absent from most competitors. Combined with value pricing, the Elantra stands out from the compact crowd. Mazda 3 Mazda 3 Mazda imbues the Mazda 3 sedan and hatchback with responsive handling and premium cabin materials punching above its weight class. Mazda’s engaging “Jinba Ittai” driving dynamics philosophy sets the Mazda 3 apart from rivals. Turbocharged versions gain an extra 25 horsepower for 2023 resulting in punchy acceleration. The Mazda 3 remains the enthusiast’s choice among compacts. Subaru Impreza Subaru Impreza The Subaru Impreza retains its ace in the hole being standard all-wheel drive. This provides traction advantages over front-wheel drive rivals, especially in cold climates. Sedan and hatchback body styles offer practicality, while Subaru’s EyeSight driver assist technology adds active safety. With legendary Subaru build quality and durability, the Impreza warrants consideration from small car buyers needing AWD capability. These compact sedans and hatchbacks inject style and upgrades into a segment facing SUV competition. Drivers can still find the affordability, efficiency and utility they desire in a smaller sedan package.
