Not only is having a detailed list of every part in your car on your doors extremely useful, but it looks great as well. |

The only problem is he's right, about more than one thing. Lizard was wrong, this isn't a Jetta hatchback, this is a Golf. He was also right about the performance. The GTI from VW is a racing engine and suspension, but downtuned for US standards. A true GTI in Germany is pretty sporty. The only problem is I'm looking at this riced out peice of shit and I'm guessing it's no where close. The way it sits and the fact it's riced out like this makes me think this is a stock Golf. Maybe it has the normal GTI under the hood, but no VR6 or MK3.
Now, although someone with a name like "bong_munky" isn't exactly someone to get car information from, and he took the wrong approach to telling you (by acting like a seven year old), I don't think it was right for you to sit there and degrade him for liking VW's. In fact, you could look up the facts first.
Also, Obsidian, please explain how German car companies supports a Socialist cause? Germany is a democracy. China is socialist. So, explain?

#21, "sit there and degrade him for liking VW's."
I didn't. He's just another market hype tool. I never called him out for liking VW. |

Obsidian: "Idiots like you are the ones who buy into that bullshit and willfully send your money VW - all of which supports a socialist cause." For one, you never answered my question, how does a German car company support a Socialist cause in a country that has never been and shall never been Socialist? And it looks like you're insulting him and VW in one sentence, so I guess you gotta take back your word eh?
Dave: Yes, it is, but we're on a different subject not concerning that car or any VW's in general. Obsidian is saying that German car companies are Socialists. Which doesn't make any sense. I'd like to see him make some sense. If not, I'm just going to assume he's an idiot who was talking out of his ass to try and impress everyone by using big words that used to be about Russia so German car companies look bad. Next he'll tell you that Japan is a "bunch of commie fags." |

#24, Again - I didn't. I never called him out for liking VW.
I only made light of the massively overhyped "German enginering" phrase which is used to market everything - be it cars or shoes. People seem to have a stigma about them - thinking that like a fine Swiss watch - only German. I'm calling him a tool because he'll belive that anything that's German in orgin is the "creme of the crop". It's that kind of thinking that raising a generation of irrational and highly biased consumers.

| I just noticed this has four doors! OF COURSE it's not a GTI! It might as well be a TDI for all we know. |

Well you can drop in any engine you choose, but it'd be funny as a GTI.
Obsidian - I've never heard that before. I've heard more people say "Fuck Germany, Germany is full of fucking Nazis, and their cars suck!" than "OH MY GOD BUY EVERYTHING GERMAN!!!" Infact, I've seen more people buy Japanese and Chinese than German, and if German is so damn popular where are the German eateries at? We have four or five Japanese and Chinese restraunts in Hamilton Place alone, not to mention all the ones in downtown Chattanooga! And lets not forget Greek and Italian too! And you still haven't answered my question: What makes buying a Volkswagen support a Socialist cause? |

| MxCx: I love the site. Obsidian is just a moron. I mean, come on, I don't even race cars. Check my profile, I drive a diesel VW Rabbit, why would I care about "German enginering"? I'm just mad because this guy is saying some retarted things and I'm calling him out. He still won't answer my question about how Germany is a Socialist country because he knows he's wrong and now feels like a moron, and knows that if he tries to reason with what he said he'll dig himself a bigger hole and look like an even bigger dumbass. |

#29, He makes a good point tho. Im not "calling you out" but how is Volkswagen connected to socialism?
#30, get over it, a lot of people have a lot of different opinions, so when you disagree with something so much that you get all worked up and stuff, let it go, its the internet, therefore you cant really solve anything by truly arguing. |

Yes, few people do know that a lot of "foreign" cars are built in other countries. Hell, Nissan I know for a fact has factories over here because I've been to one of them before.
MxCx: It's not that, I'm just loving slamming this guy for saying that VW and Germany is socialist. I mean, that's like just gathering up black people and saying "You're all jewish!" |
