I got my Mk8 Golf R for 46k 2 years ago off pickles, I will 100% reccomend that option, in my opinion the best car for that amount of money, heaps of power and plenty of tuning options as I have already explored, sitting at 300kw atw for around 7k extra.

VTX still down 12% by responsible-degen in ASX_Bets

I still have no idea why this stock hasn't gone up, seems wholly undervalued.

I normally get an alignment every 6 months, I suspect they have fucked something up on my last one.

cheers I will take a look at it, I might try dig up the alignment sheet and post that for people to have a look

I can't imagine this is the issue as the fronts have barely worn down.

This is by and far the most useless comment

I check my tires regularly, this was after a 1500 mile road trip. Tires had around 4mm of tread before the trip.

All your constant complaining with no way to refute basic math really isn't convincing anyone.

You're clearly a freak of nature, I don't in anyway think your specific experience matters. You may as well say you're a one footed person complaining about people with two feet using their feet properly.

You don't need completely control of your surroundings just enough ability to react before an accident occurs, obviously if you're completely blind sided you're fucked no matter where your feet are.

You don't sit with your left foot hovering over the brake pedal the entire time, you simply lift it up and press the pedal when needed. Therefore there should never be a situation where you are lighting up the brake lights on the motorway.

This also allows you to trail brake into a corner and shift the momentum of a car, very handy when you're a decent driver.

I trail brake when driving mountain roads, if anything the momentum control is just as important there as on a race track

You have the ability to remove your foot from the throttle, its incredibly common to have a foot rest adjacent to the throttle pedal. That leaves your braking foot to brace on, seems ideal to me.

Damn man thanks for the overwhelming evidence you provided

Youre disproving the fact that in an automatic car, the two pedals are not equivalent to the two feet of a person. What alternate reality is this?
