I guess I'm in the minority that doesn't see the need to choose a car as a means of self-expression. I mean, who cares how manly you look in your vehicle, as long as it does what you need it to do? That said, is it any wonder that the corporate accountant drives a15-year-old economy car?
I think of my car as my mobile office. I have just had so many crappy plastic economy rental cars for work, I know I did not want one for myself. Sent from my baller ass iPad FAMS!
Am I double fucked? I have a lifted Jeep Wrangler; with off-road tent trailer and I have a Mercedes S63 (AMG) <-- Guess its a muscle car.
The original has its own flow. It is a funky ride. I'm talking about the re-design that made the bug look extremely feminine and cartoony.
I once owned a Bug. I'd rather walk. The Beetle (original design) was a "ball dropped" by VW imho. The new design is MUCH better, but still not exactly a cool car. The flower holder didn't help the original Beetle either.
Yeah, I would say the new design is definitely an improvement, but still not something I would drive.
I don't have the luxury to live in Germany, but I can tell you in the US, a BMW is not a Camry. I driven both and they don't compare. I'm not sure what trying hard means when it comes to German luxury cars, but if anyone can appreciate a good drive I would think it would be someone who rides a bike. I love to drive . . . and the more power and better handling a vehicle has all the more better for me. To me, it's the people who think BMW owners own cars for image or because they have low self esteem, are the ones who actually have the esteem issues. (Like someone saying people who ride bikes have issues with their penis size . . . which is silly to anyone who rides bikes) If you like to drive, aren't into being practical when it comes to your vehicle and can afford it . . . why not buy high performance german car.
This was perfect after I started this thread...... out running errands for a couple hours and I pull up behind these fucking guys! Late 70's El Camino. Jacked up in the back, primer paint job, cigarette smoke flowin', stickers on the window that said...."Shoot First, Ask Questions Later"......"Right To Bare Arms".... Loud ass exhaust. Was behind them for 10 blocks. When they turned into a 7-11 I had to follow to see if these guys matched the pre conceived notions I had of them.....DING DING DING! They looked like extras from Sons of Anarchy! Right down to the dream catcher ear rings and leather vests. I guess you are what you drive!
Me too. The Bug to me means the original. The Beetle is the currently made car. btw, the Bug originated in the 30's not 60's. Here's a cool website about the restoration of an old Bug. http://www.thebugshop.org/
For me, these are always owned by rednecks, or creepy old guys. http://www.bobbittville.com/ChevyPU-1964GeorgeOdom.jpg Not saying the guy who owns this one is, but it always seems to be owned by older guys, who wear overalls, smoke and drink bud. usually have a confederate flag on it, and a gun rack.
REALLY FAMS!?! Trying to school ME on the history of German cars????? I'm just saying I like those years best. You think I'm just all looks and no brains huh?
Heheh. Yes I do. I think the best years are 60's like you said. Once the taillights got HUGE, they were junky. They're under powered, limited and rolling coffins though
No cause I'm badass mofo that screws all your old lady's while your at work and I drive a lame ass, paid for Honda Accord. Theory. Crushed.
