American cars are crap.

Yes, VWs are one of my favorites. I've owned 4 so far. 2 Scirrocos, 1 Rabbit, and a GTI. Plan to own a VW again someday, a GTI of course.

trade it in every 2 years for something new and you will never worry about it breaking down and it will likely always be under warranty.

cant afford to do that???

i got a 1992 sunbird with 190,700 miles on it that i will sell you....


heheheheh


i think 190,700 miles is pretty good for a american car...but then....i heard the engine is made elsewhere...probably by the equivalent of slave labor in some south american country...


oh well.

Clearly, you do not know me. I loved America since Christmas Day 1979 when I was visiting a friend in Albuquerque. Email me in private, and I'll tell you what happened. I could hardly believe it.

By the way, I've been to 41 out of the 50 states, and was married to an American.

My post was about American idiosyncrasies, and not hatred. All in fun.

Heh heh Beet1e, differen't people have different needs      No doubt at all that my vehicle is very poorly suited to European conditions, just as there's little advantage to owning a VW in the rural US (aside from those people who think they're "cool").

Wonder why

[capt. apathy]

ya the 70's and 80's where crap for american cars.  but on the upside the early 80's where a great driving time for a broke teenager.

me and my friends could pool our cash and get a p.o.s. car for little or nothing. it would barely run, and there's no way in hell it could pass an inspection. so you'd get your 30 days worth of trip permit and drive it for a month(if you got a 'good one' that would last that long) then sell it for scrap weight. take that and another $20 or so and go find another peice of crap.  we always had wheels but they didn't always get you home.
