Quick Drive: 2017 Volkswagen Golf R

Album created by William Maley · Updated February 28, 20179 yr

The 2017 Volkswagen Golf R is the range-topping hot hatch in the Golf lineup, pairing a 292-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter TSI four-cylinder with 4MOTION all-wheel drive in a dark blue hatchback body. These photos capture the Golf R during a winter quick drive, showing exterior angles from front, rear, and sides on snow-covered roads, plus detail shots of the quad exhaust, R badge grille, alloy wheels, TSI engine bay, and the sport-focused interior with its flat-bottom steering wheel and infotainment screen.

I'm no Hurricanes fan, but I am a despiser of the Golden Knights and love that your Hurricanes won! Congrats! It's a really fun time of life when one of "your teams" wins a championship, especially when it's a series and there's a month-long build up of the playoffs. I remember the 2019 Blues championship run and it was such an exciting month+. Everyday I was either talking about last night's game or talking about tonight's game with a fellow Blues fan coworker or friends.

I'll probably just get a 95 Impala SS, since I know the engine in those cars very well

She was making her mark on the comedy scene in Austin, Texas. This budding talent was taken away from us too soon by cancer ... she was in her early forties. When I need to be put in a good mood with some good sass, I listen to her from time to time. RIP, Lashonda Lester

The moral ineptitude and vileness of one third of the country will never wash clean. Hard to feel any sympathy at all for a country that elects the people it has elected, not just Trump. I intend to check this out.

Hard to feel bad for someone using his daddy's insider information to make huge trades in the stock market to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.

I hadn't realized the Cleantalk spam blocker plug-in had been disabled during the upgrade (my fault, I should have remembered). It's active again now. The recent influx of spam should stop. Please report any spam posts you see.

I didn't know about this. I know that he did one year at NYU in New York City and it wasn't the greatest experience for him so he transferred to some kind of satellite campus or program of it in DC. It is the only First Family that I've seen in my lifetime that has such questionable people. Most of the time, the extended family just stays out of the picture ... like they should.

I will have to say I actually like this heavy metal version of Gilligan's Island theme song. https://youtu.be/9j_bGzpgFrM
