Just kidding. Screw that piece of crap. I put it on my parent's property to make room and on the way I locked the brakes for about 100 ft and dropped the front end off the road. But it's fine.

Now, I'm straight up ballin' son.

Black leather, climate control (yick), 6 CD changer, 6-speaker MONSOON system, power everything, heated seats and mirrors, power sunroof.

I love this car... so much...

I got 32 MPG driving 55 on the highway with a 6 cylinder engine!

jhuuskon: you know it's 6 cylinder engine.
Chris: what type of VW is that? Jetta?

I know, but it's still unacceptable.

edit: With a car about the same age that weighs the same and the same power and torque output, a figure of 6.5l/100km is easily attainable with skill. Even the facelifted 406 with the outdated ES9 V6 beats the VR6 in power and torque numbers and has an extra 300kg over the Bora at the scale (not to mention being one notch higher in size class), yet it still easily reaches 7.5l/100km without much effort.

My point: Deathwish needs to hone his economical driving skills before he starts bragging with mileage.

Speaking of fuel efficiency, I sold my Uno. I need something with a little bigger engine now that my driving has shifted from the city onto the road. The 1.1 is magnifcient in the city but its fuel consumption rises sharply after speed goes above 80km/h.

Yes, Dullswagen makes pretty nice turbodiesel engines now that they abandoned the pump nozzle idea and switched to common rail like other reasonable engine builders. For an Audi their turbodiesels are an excellent compliment.

I really should go try out some new turbodiesels to see if they've gotten rid of the annyoing turbo lag.

You have much to learn about the US my friend. For a V6, it's almost unheard of. For a car in general in the US, it's barely below highest you'll ever see of 40 MPG (which a POS Honda gets with 100 hp) without going hybrid. Which is just stupid.

32 mpg is 5 mpg above EPA.

Looks like someone hates VWs... I can feel the envy through the screen.

I. Do not. Want another POS ricer boy car. Just so I can go joy riding around the corners and then wonder like a little bitch why the CV joints and tie rod ends keep getting blown out. Children drive Hondas. I'm driving lush. The trunk of this thing is big enough to fit three rows of 12" subwoofers (just for a dimensional example).

This car is sexy as hell from the inside. Black leather, sound system. It makes a Cadillic XLR interior (that I parked next to today) look like it was done in china.

I think the exterior is sexy too.

The USA is still a minority when compared to the whole rest of the world.

I take umbrage to that sir. My pos Honda is a '92, has 167 thousand miles on it, gets about 200 miles per tank city, can do 90 mph; at least I think it is 90. When I drive by those automated radar thingies my speedometer says 20 but the thing says 30. But my point is the thing still does the job pretty well. As to your car Chris, congrats, should we start a pool to see how long before you kill it?

Obviously I didn't read the examples or I would have chosen a different source. My opinion still stands. I still think it's bitch to use it to describe anything except for the opposite sex (or at least things that hint towards it; a Jetta not being one of them)... Not that the world agrees with me... There are probably millions of women this instant with their asses hanging out of half a skirt frivolously telling guys not to objectifying them. I've already given up.

Jetta trunk

Cars in America, when loved, are considered female. It's not odd for females to name their cars female names. So sexy can still apply once you've applied a female personification. For example, anything James Bond drives or touches, is inherently sexy. Austin Martin DB9s are sexy. Think of it as looking at sexy clothes at Victoria's Secret. You're not exactly "aroused" by the clothes, but you know they're sexy.

Bob Keane: It's not to be taken as a personal attack. 99% of kids who drive Hondas don't realize one thing: As good as it is (because they are good cars) it's still a Honda. Which means it's not race car and its not that fast. So dropping a huge spoiler, bazooka muffler, rims, carbon fiber hood on your mom's old car is the same as ... dropping a huge spoiler, bazooka muffler, rims, and carbon fiber hood on your moms car.

It's like dropping a suped up Chevy 350 into Nova or F150. It's been done before. Except... in this case, the guy with the 350 actually has a fast car with a sexy American V8 burble sound to it. If I die never hearing the obligatory "wiiiizzzzzzzz" of a fat pipe on a honda 4-banger again, I'll die happy.

Okay, I had fun with that last part so I'll really sum it up. Hondas are great cars. They earned their position as a car company in America. However, as a piece of fashion, they are over done. (Which makes them inheriently "not cool") They are not better than Aston Martins. They aren't better than BMWs. So for all these people to drive around like they own the place in their cars that are only notable because of a movie they saw ("The Fast and the Furious") is straight up silly. Hence my usage of the word childish.

VR6 Jettas are rare here. That's some sexy points. Black leather on black body reminds you of a stealth bomber. More points. 5-speed and power everything is more points. A rare V6 that uses one head, more points. German made, more points. All it needs is some nice (but not over-the-top) shiney silver rims.

I'm not here telling anyone that this is the greatest car ever made on any level. It's clear to me that it's not on even a single level. That's not the point. The point is that it does everything I want it to very well. The handling is precise but smooth. As is the power delivery. The interior is lush, decently laid out, and very comfortable. For $7700 (after tax) and only 85000 miles on it, I struck gold and I'm very happy with it. I never would have dreamt that I could own such a jack-of-all-trades car. And I'm happy and thankful!

Just because they're occasionally referred to by feminine pronouns doesn't mean they're literally considered female. It's just natural for straight males to refer to things they love as feminine, but taking it seriously is taking it out of context. Personifying a car is worse than personifying a cat. It's ultimately a machine whose primary function should be working^[1] and whose secondary function, if any, should be looking and sounding cool while doing it.

You should be aroused by what you're imaging inside them. Take that away and they're just meaningless fibers.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a suped-up Honda. What's wrong is imitation cars that are fitted with purely cosmetic mods to look or sound fast when really the internals are stock or otherwise underwhelming.

An import is a relatively inexpensive way to build a relatively fast car. And honestly, rice rockets are nearly as cool as American muscle. They're made for the same thing: speed. American muscle just does it much cooler.

Fashion is a woman's domain. Cars are not a fashion statement. Ever.

Again, I think your Jetta looks like a nice car on a scale of average cars, but it's not nice when compared to dream cars or anything like that. So I don't mean to put down your wheels. I'm happy for you.

screw it with the fuel efficiency flame war jhuukson is starting, drive it and love it son!

Edit, Chris, awsome ride son, now take of pic of you posing with your car like i did

edit 2:

You'd be surprised how good looks can be handy. Fashion is a good thing to know about. And a man's car and how he maintains it is his style and personality.

LennyLen, it's an expensive and cool object, sometimes i like to wear matching colors to my car. It can get you from A to B in style or not, depending on how much you care about appearances.
