What’s up with people putting random pieces of fruit in multiple pics in a car listing. Remember the guy with the orange in the Bricklin SV-1 listing? This one. Yeah, that was weird, but today we’ve got a banana in the passenger seat of a VW Golf. Maybe it’s a anti-theft device — you just […]
Volkswagen released their “New” Beetle for the 1998 model year with lots of fanfare and flowery marketing from the biggest European auto manufacturer. Ironically, the New Beetle was built on the chassis that killed the old Beetle — the front-wheel-drive Golf. Today’s example started as a simple 1.8T powered 5-speed, but now it has a […]
Do you know what the typical Volkswagen Rabbit owner wishes he had? A long bed pickup. Because the little Rabbit isn’t great for hauling a bunch of construction debris or making a impromptu hot tub or other things pickups are good at. Volkswagen did make a Caddy truck, but it didn’t have back seats and […]
You had me at “floor jack ratchet strapped to the floor of the trunk.” Yes, I’ll admit that I’ve owned cars that need a floor jack in the trunk. It isn’t that those cars are unreliable, but that you might need to replace a pitman arm on the side of the road. Also, your passengers […]
The neat looking beast you see on the screen above first appeared in the late 60s as the Nova kit car, produced in the UK by Richard Oakes and Phil Sayers using a swoopy fiberglass body, and Volkswagen Beetle chassis with buyer provided running gear. The same design was later branded as the Sterling, Cimbria and Purvis, and […]
The first generation Volkswagen Scirocco was released in 1974 on a chassis that was shared with the Golf…but it had sleek sheet metal that was penned by Giorgetto Giugiaro and a name that was practically impossible to spell. Today’s Scirocco has an upgraded motor with headers, weber carbs and looks pretty good for its age, […]
The G6 (Group of Six) was the unofficial name for the collection of head interior ministers for the biggest players in the European Union, which included Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Spain, and the UK (before Brexit). This super powerful group of shadowy big state puppet masters met in the steam filled saunas of private resorts […]
I’m not sure I’d ever own and drive a car like this next one, but I can say with some honesty that I’m glad it exists. Because it means that some guy got to live out his dream of building a custom and that maybe it gave this dude a reason to get up each […]
I was eating some kind of meal replacement bar the other day that I found in my pantry and I mentioned to someone “this isn’t bad, but it is sorta like eating something created by someone who had never eaten, but only read about it”. It isn’t an experience that I would recommend, but it […]
I’m not a huge fan of the bagged / slammed / stanced look that seems to be popular on the instagram these days, but I’ve always been a bit of a square. However, this look on a Volkswagen CC might be an improvement over the stock version. The CC was available from 2008-2016 as the […]
