Rental this week: 2015 VW GTI with the DSG.

I pretty much utilize launch control at every light. Why not.

The car has some mad turbo lag down low, but when the boost hits it pulls decent for a 2.0T. Also handles pretty decent for being FWD.

Didn't KFC use Tyson strictly for a while?

That's once more than me. KFC and Arbies are the only 2 fast foods that make a bigger mess than Mr. EW going to war with a 5lbs bag of sugar free gummi bears.

but their chicken tenders taste no different from the ones sold at Target.

Lol. That's why I was glad we purchased a house outside a development. My friends had horror stories about people like that. But I still have nosy neighbors that complain about my house being built 4 yrs ago, 3 yrs before we moved in.

yah, and these folks fail to notice all the other crap that can use more attention... like visitors leaving trash in the visitor's lot. where is the cleaning crew? wtf.

random kids leaving their bicycles and toys outside on their yard, random kids drawing with chalk on sidewalks, people taking out trash on days they aren't supposed to, or not pulling back their trash bins after pickup, illegal parking over sidewalks, stupid dog owners allowing their dogs to dig holes messing up the lawns, etc etc

Yeah, the lacquer stuff gets tacky pretty fast but it shrinks a lot and it takes several days to really dry.

But... It's also easy to work with because a little rubbing alcohol takes it right off; I usually use a q-tip dipped in alcohol to get it mostly even with the surface once it's dried, and then just a little rubbing compound to blend it in. Hopefully I can find a way to do that with the water-base stuff.

Here's a thought... Maybe water takes it off?

even worse are dog owners that walk their dogs in the park allowing them to pee near the sidewalk making a puddle with pee crossing the sidewalk. kids ride their scooters and bikes over that.

this is why when it floods i mentioned to davey that water is filled with dog poop and pee...
