About a year ago I drove a VW GTI. Based on everything I have read about it, I should have been in love. But there I was, on the twisty Merritt Parkway, in the middle of the night, feeling rather indifferent. I wanted to love it, but just kind of liked it. It’s was a…

“228… 229… 230… 231… 232!” The numbers moved slowly but they kept coming. I couldn’t tell though because my eyes were focused on the road ahead.
