I'm glad he said "...couldn't care less..." because too many people say "...COULD care less..." I'm so picky about this. I call people out on it all the time. If you CAN'T care less, that means that you currently care the least possible amount. If you COULD care less, you still have some care for the matter to let go. Think about it. Adjust.I digress. Slick looking Passat. I usually don't like Passats in general, but this one tickles my fancy.

Yea, I just hope they don't tear down that part or make it inaccessible. I actually made some ramps up and took my car over the curb and put it down by the train tracks for some better shots

I paid $200 for the wheels and tires when I got them. Since then I have replaced the tires, but I haven't been able to bring myself to splurge on some nice wheels. Hence the reason it's in the "needs improvement" stage Again, thanks for all the positive comments everyone!

Smoked them myself. First set was done with lamin-x, then I did a set with Night Shades spray tint. The lamin-x actually began shrinking in the heat.
