I've seen Funked with my own eyes ... he cannot fit in this car. He may own it, but he certainly don't drive it.

Notice Frenchy, he did not post a picture of his car,..just a picture. Hehe,...once they took the doors off and the top, he was able to fit in it, but then they had to put in one front seat in the center....then he could sit in it. I hear it is a double-wide. LOL!

Theres no replacement for displacement.

Small blocks for small minds.

Do you dont have real cars there - like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche or Audi ?

Yes we do and some of us have taste! Not knocking the WRX performance for the price...(dislike the interior)

Looking out of my office window I see 2 Ferrari's, 7 Porsches, 10-15 Mercedes/ BMW sedans, few Jags, 3 limo's and these are parked outside. If I go to the parking garage I'm sure I could find many more Porsches, a few more Ferrari's and maybe a Lambo or two.

I'll have my Audi TT 225Q at the Con, unless we need more space then it'll be my wifes Audi A4.

Too bad my mods wont be on the TT before the con.

1st: It still looks like a frog which has been scared

2nd: A frog with golden wheels !!!!

3rd: Why do you care in other countries for the top-speed of your cars if you arent allowed to drive them at these speeds?

Here in Germany we have no tempo-limit on most parts of our highways - and I like it to test my Mercedes 300 CE on them

Btw - THIS is a car which is fast AND looks good.

@Mox: The Audi TT is also a very fine car - although I dont like its behaviour in special curves at fast speed.
Also I dont like the brake-system of BMW - its a little bit too hard.

My brother has a BMW and I was glad to drive my car again.

But maybe he is right, when he said: "The Mercedes is a car for the old people..."

LOL It's true.

But Audis are just rebadged, overpriced Volkswagens.
And VWs are junk.

I can't say anything too bad about BMW and Porsche though.

And Benz is the one German car that is worth the price.

I've owned Audi before, mine was junk, and undriveable by 65,000 miles, thought this *was* an Audi Fox. Just like a restaurant though, I won't go back...

Typically men (and their respective egos) are as such: Whatever they're currently driving, or whatever they cannot afford, IS the best automobile.

High speed stability is supposed to be fixed on the later models (Traction control was added and the small rear wing which I dislike). I haven't heard of any other wrecks except the one you speak of in Germany.

I've only had the TT for 3 months but so far I'm really liking it.

I wish I did! I work at the Crescent building in Dallas one of, if not the most expensive office buildings in Dallas (more expensive than any of the downtown buildings you see on TV). Across the courtyard from the office building is the Crescent Hotel (I think it's 4 star) where royalty, super stars, etc stay when they are in town.

My first day at work I parked next to a Lambo, I took pictures thinking it was a rare thing, now it's now big deal to see a Lambo everyday. I'm not sure what some of these people do in the Crescent but some of them come to work in Limo's occasionally.

Skuzzy · « **Reply #27 on:** July 19, 2002, 06:29:11 PM »

Ahhh,, I know the Crescent. There is a bed and breafast near the hotel my wife and I got married in. Can't recall the name of it. Quaint place.

Yep,..big money in that area.

Babek said it best "The Mercedes is a car for the old people..."

I like Mercedes and I think I'll get me one when I'm 50+ years old.

The only BMW I'd own would be a M series!! I do like the looks of the 3 series coupes though. At least the TT's more rare, every 16 year old rich kid in Dallas has a 3 series.

Mercedes?.........just need too call a Taxi here in Germany, get a "Benz" and a driver.
