Glad to see you're developing a little class. My Type 34 Cabriolet project is about worked out on paper, parts are accumulated, converible top is built, and I'll be warming up the fire wrench soon. You'd better get yours done and get your ass to the Type 3 Invasion end of July. Oh, and pop in on the Type 3 forums once in awhile, y'heah? Very Happy

If mine was a ricer in disguise...I would love to. But seeing how it isn't, well you know.

Keep the pussy car in the driveway so you can avoid all the people laughing at you.

c'mon dipshit, at least try and make sense here. ricer in disguise? i've never seen 14 inch bus smoothies on a ricer.

tell you what, i don't blame you for not wanting to race your baby motor. after all, it's just a run-of-the mill motor in a run-of-the-mill bug. nothing special, nothing exciting. even a hacked up t34 ghia would get more attention, and have a better chance of winning a race.

but anytime you want to grow a dick and run it, just let me know.

You have another car that is also a ricer in disguise. Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about. If you want a ricer just buy a honda.

Run of the mill this and that doesn't bother me. I drive mine everyday and I don't work in a VW shop. I don't have the need or desire to make my car go supersonic. But I do have the smarts to make it look nice. And not make it look like some hack job.

So, Alexandra... come on up to Oregon and laugh at MY "pussy car"...anytime. Twisted Evil

The pussy on that T34 is better than any YOU'LL ever see.

why you bringing up my other ghia? this is a different car, dumbass. at least try and stay on the same page, ok? when you fall behind you drag all the rest of us back. it's not fair to the rest of the kids.

don't hate on me because your life is average and you feel inadequate.

LOL....I was merely making a point that you are a closet ricer and you can't come out.
