Default so im developing a thing for VW's.....

i awalys thought they were kinda cool but never really was into them till recently when my buddy bought a mk3 golf 4 door, and i love it, they are just nice cars. i just like how they have all kinds of cool little german amenities

so far hes had the car for about 2 months and has:
KYB GR2's
H&R sports
custom bent cat-back exhaust
VR6 guages
ABD tuning chip
BBS wheels w/ kumho 712's
eyelids
smoked lenses all the way around

anyhow here are pics of his car i took for him last night



your typical treehugger picture

Nice, I quite like A platform VWs. Especially Mark IV's with chipped turbo motors. VR6 is cool too though. 2.0L is a little on the weak side (only an 8V head?!), but the Neuspeed supercharger kit will take care of that real quick!

My friend has a VW just like that with some of the same stuff. They look ok but I hate everything else about VWs. Their engines are layed out weird, their dashboards are high as hell, they have gay light switches, they have stupid ****ing crank seats (worst idea ever). Lots of German cars have that shit. It pisses me off. Thats why I love Honda, it all makes sense to me.

the stupid light switch is used on mb/bmws/audi/etc.

also the "stupid" crank seat allows you to keep your seat back at the same angle when you let tilt it to let people in the back seat

I know, I've seen it in most all German cars, I still hate it.

As for the seats I've never ever had to adjust any "Japanese" style seat back after letting someone in. Anytime I ever drove people around however I make them get in on the passenger side because its just easier. F' the passengers.
