and it's a soccer mom, or some guy who you can tell just doesn't appreciate what they have.
Rolled up on a W8 Passat today, and while not an awesome car...still unique and different...
Woman...on her phone...inside looked like it had trash and stuff everywhere. :banghead::banghead: Probably doesn't even know what a V8 is...much less a W8.
Saw a pretty hot girl driving the snot out of a modded S2000 a few days ago. Normally I hate to see some worthless cu*t in a performance car blocking traffic with her bad driving.

So just changing the drivetrain completely transforms a Passat from a milquetoast would be rental if cheap enough to buy and maintain to a luxury car?
I need to find a base turbo four with a blown engine and swap in the premium luxury car drivetrain that completely transforms the car.
I actually don't care about this sort of stuff in the normal sense. There's a kid on campus who honest to God drives around in a bright yellow Gallardo Supperlegera. It's incredible what some of these college kids are driving around in. Regardless, whenever I see it I just think "Meh, good for them," and go about my business. However, when someone pulls up to a stoplight in a nice MGA or SAAB c900 turbo or something like that I always covet it massively. People who drive those types of cars have to go out of their way to do so though, so you always know that the owner appreciates what they have.
Lot's of trophy wives and spoiled chicks out here. So, the view is mostly pleasant, if not outright tantalizing.
Recently, I exchanged flirty glances with a Hilton-look-alike in a modded Cayenne S. Then I realized that her sugar-daddy was driving that Lamborghini behind her.
Nothing personal against the owners, themselves, but I lack respect for people who drive great cars and don't take care of them. I've had girlfriends whose parents bought them brand new cars, and never wash them, clean the interiors, or change the oil...don't want to put Premium fuel in them because it is 20 cents more, etc. :banghead:
Have plenty of friends who have gotten brand new cars, trucks, etc. and trash them out in an effort to make it look like, "meh, it IS expensive, but that ain't no thing" "just a car; no biggy". :thumbdown:
I suppose that's their prerogative...but that isn't how I was raised...with regards to cars. Keep it clean, wash, polish, wax, rotate tires, change the oil, and so forth.
Why? It usually means they have more important things to do in life than become OCD with their transportation device, yet still displayed a modicum of good taste when selecting it. It also probably means they have the financial resources to not have had to have spent 75% of their income on their ride, and therefore feel the need to treat it as the only thing that matters.
That being said I'm not onboard with general dirtiness, because that trait probably permeates their whole life.
TCL: Where a comfortable, decent driving, engineering first (in mass production iirc), solid car (albeit bloated and fiddly) is junk, but stanced out b-tchbasket torqueless convertibles are hot shizz. :thumbup:
What does a person look like that does not appreciate what car thy have, just curious and who are you to judge what is "pretty cool". I'm sure there is some guy sitting at a bus stop looking at some guy in a beat to crap Pontiac Aztec thinking, boy that guy sure is lucky to have a car.
i know dat feel bruh. i h8 when i comez to a stahp loighty thingy and i see sum dambazz in a 1924 hoduh civicuh and he all be lookyn at me and he like say w8 m8? u mirin ma ride? and im all like o hell naw u just lost da game sahn!
There's plenty of people around here that grind my gears (Portland, OR)
A guy with a mk5 R32 on some glossy black Les Schwab wheels with his smash mouth hair cut always blasting some emo screamo crap and going WOT at every stop light/sign in town.
Another is a woman with a newer blue V70R who I've seen hit curbs around corners, and docks it like a boat onto curbs when pulling into parking spaces. Wheels and bumper are trashed.
And to top it off, I had a friend who picked up a 2006(?) Mercedes C class a couple years ago. When I had asked him how often checked his oil, he replied with "i just wait for the light to come on".
a G35 will have the same power, lighter, bigger interior, better on gas, much more reliable.... There's just no point on having a W8 Passat unless you're a fanboy.
I think the point he is making is why do people buy top of the line/rare vehicles if they dont care and only need them to get from point a to b, AND not take care of them on
top of that. They could have just bought a base model.
I am NOT VW fan, but the anyone who says the W8 Passat isnt a neat car is just full of themselves.
if it weren't for the repair bills, insurance costs, and fuel consumption;
i would be all over the w8.
feels like a proper passat. like every other one should have felt like.. although heavy, quite quick enough, and amazing in the elements
