The Polo has developed yet another feature you wonât find even on a Mercedes!
I call it the faux door lock.
This is extremely useful if someone tries to get inside the car by picking the drivers door lock. No matter which way you twist the key, the door wonât open. Unfortunately this does mean that if I want to get inside my own car, I need to hop in through the passenger side. But thatâs merely a minor drawback.
Volkswagenâs security systems are so well engineered, the cars continue to invent new security features decades after theyâve been made and sold!
Funny you say that because this would happen in freezing temperatures on my Mercedes
Teehee, I hit pole 
I was planning on posting this once I fix it, but then I realized itâs a fog light and itâs illegal to have two rear fog lights in Finland anyway. Itâs one of those laws thatâs not being enforced like, at all.
So Iâll just keep it like that, probably! Contact me if your car looks to clean. Iâll smash it to pieces!
I canât find any modern text saying itâs illegal to have more than one and actually the law regulating the necessary lighting components for cars mentions ârear foglight or -lightsâ (valaisin tai valaisimet). Given how anal the inspection people are itâd be weird if all these modern cars now for who knows how long were let off with nothing for having two foglights.
Probably changed once we joined the EU if not earlier, I found a regulation from 1993 on Finlex mentioning rear foglamps in plural most of the time and one from 1995 also mentioning ârear foglamp or foglampsâ as mandatory equipment.
âŠwe are the most boring people
Me too, me too! Iâve once specifically looked for EU lighting regulations, and happily found some Hella PDF explaining them 
I had the privilege of studying inspection law theory. That was just as interesting as it sounds. I nearly fell asleep. It didnât mention anything about having only one rear fog light, to be fair. Iâve just been going with that 80s law. But if thereâs no law saying that you canât have two rear fog lights then itâs probably not illegal.
After allâŠ
Can someone explain that picture to me please? Cause Iâve seen it floating around a lot, and to me it just seems like a bunch of nonsense, is there an overarching joke to it? (I know what Turning Point America is, but not the rest)
It has a bulb in there?
The saying is just a general guiding principle for challenges here.
I have no idea what the car itself is from; I presume someone who tried submitting a meme car once? Or maybe just created as a meme? But the phrase itself has been pretty central to a lot of challenge rule discussions.
Thatâs from CSR 115, I believe.
Great news!
My Polo is about to hit 300k!
Even more great news!
The odometer rolls over at 300k km for some reason, so I now own a 1999 VW Polo with 0km! If anyone wants to buy this rare specimen, thatâd be 35 000 euros without taxes. Hit me up.
They figured youâd have put that poor car out of its misery by this point
Instead of making it go to 999999km they just remove âtotalâ from above 299999km, neat
Oh thatâs why it felt so empty to me. Itâs kinda weird for the odo to roll over at 300k, after all the screen is capable of displaying numbers higher than 2. IIRC in a Twingo the odo rolls over at 400k km. Truly funky given that both have electric odometers lmao.
Today is the day I fix my broken taillight.
I wanted to do clear tape but I couldnât find any. So I got the next best thing. Plastic.
I also tinted it so it works less.
At some point my friend asked me what the hell I was doing? I told him this is what I call Hilbert Repair. He found it mildly amusing but he is Finnish so thatâs like uncontrollable laughter for Americans, I presume.
Peak.
