Well, if anyone is curious, I replaced my totaled Honda a couple weeks ago. I'm so happy with my new car, it's a blast to drive.

2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLS VR6 (edit: my car is definitely black, the lightoing from the sun makes it look green in these pics)

Image
Outside, not the most aerodynamic car. :heh

Image
Big ass front bumper.

Image
Interior is nice. Would rather have a different color but still a very roomy interior.

Image
Gear box = Gay. Seriously, I don't why the Germans had to distance themselves from normal gearboxes. Top left reverse is so stupid, because now you accidentally put it in Reverse and 1st, meaning the car can go whenever, as opposed to accidentally putting it in 4th instead of reverse, so the car would just stall. I mean, you gotta be pretty retarded to mess it up, but I still don't like it.

The clutch is jumpy and light, I like short and heavy ones. But other than that, this car is awesome. When you go from a V4 with 120 screaming horses, to a VR6 with 175 it makes a shit load of difference.


So post your cars in the format I did. 5-6 pics max please. and nothing over 200kb (jpegs are your friend). And actual pics of your cars, don't just google it.

Looks like you got yourself a very nice car alp! :wink

Believe it or not, but I'll get a Volkswagen too, polo if you wanna know,

only 50 horses pulling you out of the dust, but it's a cheap car and need less

fuel compared to yours.

I think the gear looks gay too, but where do you want to have the gear to go backwards :???

You have to press down on the shift lever to put it in reverse...which is also gay because I like to hold the lever with my palm down on the top. So I'm always scared of pressing it down while shifting, which would fuck my transmission up. :heh

I'm jealous, I've always wanted a Jetta. Almost got one before I got the Saturn I had but it had been in accident and the dealer didn't want to admit to it.

alps, does your state require front plates?

Yea, I don't know why my car doesn't have a front plate mount, but whatever, it looks better that way. Will I get fined or something on my first offense?

Nice Alp, I'm glad you got your car back, I know how much the situation sucked when you got hit by that soccer mom.

Sweet Obi. I used to cap on German cars at any chance, but now with this car and Frosts Audi, I don't know if I'll ever go back.

That V4 is puttin out 170? :eek Must be one great stock turbocharger. My car is more powerful than the 1.8T version, but I'd rather have that model just for the turbo (up the boost on that bitch :heh).

Thanks a lot gondee, I appreciate it really.

It doesnt really kick in till about 20-25 mph, plus it weights more then a jetta so im sure yours would pull ahead. I was originally planning to get the 190hp Jetta GLS 04 or 05 V6 think it was also a 2L. S.O.B was like 28k though, I got the passat for a bit uner 10k.

20-25mph? It's not by speed man, it's by RPM. Why did you get an automatic car with a turbocharger?

My car was a retardedly great deal. 2001, no cosmetic or mechanical damages (literally none), and 54,000 miles for $8,200 (almost all my savings from my whole life :heh). The car's BB value is around 11.5-12k.

Nice cars everyone. :D

This is actually not my car, but my sisters. It's a Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet from the early 90's.

I won't get a car until I'm eightteen or something. :(

Hey alp, you should rename this topic to:

I got a new Volkswagen, post yours.


Maybe you didn't believe me, but about 2 months ago I was able to drive one of the best cars in the world. This:

Audi Q7 with 260 hp!!! It's funny to see how everyone is getting nervous when they see you!

Its not just the germans, american cars and trucks do it to. It makes it easier to roll the vehicle out of a rut or when truckers back up. See, they dont have to go through all those gears to go from R to 1, or vice versa. Guess I'll get a pic up here this weekend.

VW's rule. I wouldn't mind a Jetta myself or something of the sort.

My car sucks, so I don't wanna post it. But maybe one day.
