NO Audi's (to my knowledge) are made in Mexico. my TT was built in Hungary I believe... Despite sharing many parts and design ideas with V Dubs, Audis are very much different cars.
To my knowledge, R32s are actually built in Slovenia.

I'd enjoy the hell out of that. Needs to happen before I sell my R32...

The biturbo died in 2002. The 2003 (and up) model has a 4.2l 40v DOHC V8. Needless to say, I'd much rather have the newer car...
lots of sex here:

to someone without any confidence, its possible. i feel the same driving my beaters around as i did when i drove a Diablo for a day test driving it.

in fact, i think i feel better about myself in a shitcan then i do in a high end car. i can park it wherever the fuck i want and not care, i can do what i want in it, and the attention is not there.

if someone has to have a certain car to feel better about themselves, they are one shallow bastard.

you are correct sir! my mistake. Phaetons are made in Dresden, Germany, Passats and Touaregs I believe are made at the "main" factories in Germany.

Then i guess this fucker is the abyss.



Its just like anythign else we do in life so people like it some dont.

Cant bash a man for his taste in cars. I kinda agree with you though. There is nothing wrong with having a nice car, there is nothign wrong with having a relable beater, but if one centers his/her life around a "material posession in general" then yes they definatly havea problem.

i think i will modify my comment to this:

if one has to have a car and/or material posessions to have more self confidence, they are lying to themselves cause they feel the need to have an inflated ego.

But at the same time you need to make a concension for those who simply like cars and things and don't necessarily feel NEED for them, but rather a want.

make a concession? everyone is different, thats what makes the world go round man. just cause you dont like that i dont like what you like doesnt mean i should like what you like. confusing enough?


i was brought up different then most people i reckon. i was taught to want in one hand and shit in the other, see which one filled up first.

everyone wants something different. i have no problem with that either. just dont be going around trying to tell me that what you want is better then what i want. shit, i am more happy eating a tuna sammich then filet mignon.
