i disagree. and i completely agree with scott. the car looks like shit. he and i both think that, and there is nothing thats going to change that. (no to put words in your mouth or anything, scott) sure the car has mega expensive and extensive body modifications, but i, and people like me, could care less. perhaps their crafstmanship is top notch...perhaps they spared no expense on the job, and perhaps they take pride in their work. does that mean it deserves any credit? no. i personally feel that each and every individual who had anything to do with that car was wasting their time. the only thing i can think of when i look at that car is: why? futhermore, i would be dissapointed--nay, angry--if i spent a wad of cash to go to waterfest, and that was the epitome of the type of "modded" car i would have seen. (thats why i didnt go, btw) i understand the whole "different strokes for different folks" thing and im totally down with that. you do what you wanna do, and ill do what i wanna do. i could care less what anyone wants to do to their VW, as its none of my buisiness. just dont expect any fake praise out of me if i think its a POS. dont expect me to fake interest in it and try to find "nice" things about it, cause i wont. youve got to be true to yourself. if you honestly thing that shitbox is a nice car, stand up and say it. nobody's stopping you. just expect to hear from me again. :-) > Usually people who have severe reactions to relatively innocuous things or > situations are merely covering up for something else.. we can look at the owner of the car (or whoever) and wonder why he feels the need to be so noticed. why does he feel to be the center of attention? it aint no sleeper, thats for sure. i classify that car as riced out as most any other VW at waterfest. (thats speaking from assumptions and from what i hear, of course) and for that matter, most any other VW at most any other show. theyre all shit these days... i guess ill stop before i get started though.... ben randolph 92 16v gti 87 16v gti RIP ** **(BTW, if anyone wants a clean carcass of an 87 16v gti in southern NJ, lemme know. you get it out of my grandmother's garage and its yours) _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
