The Golfmk OFF-TOPIC chat (Part 11)

[bon qui qui]

Funny, when I was looking at cars I didn't even consider VW literally at all.

Because of poor past experiences? My car was a pain in the ass from 50k to 80k, but has been great before and after that and I still want another one haha.

I guess I haven't really been looking at much other than VW and Audi. Not sure why. My wheel spacers will carry over, I guess. haha

Hahaha.

Lmao. I did consider the launch edition mk7 Golf, but feature for feature, the base Mazda3 is way better. I mean, 5MT in 2015? Come on VW. And the entertainment center of the Golf is pathetic too.

The fact that it's turbo and a tune is tempting pushed me away too. I don't need two turbo cars.

VW fooled me once. Okay its a fluke. Definitely wont happen again
Okay VW fooled me twice. Thats really unlucky. Theres no way that can happen a 3rd time.
Okay THREE!!! Trouble happens in threes. Definitely couldn't happen a 4th time. Right?


ELEVEN, fucking eleven. I'm done. Never looking at a vw again. Ever. My vw's made saabs look reliable.

Pretty sure a cleptomaniac working in a bank is more reliable than a saab

2 years ago that was my goal

Now we have 2 fucking mk7 in the family

On the upside both have been stellar

 

[g60_corrado_91]

And you track/autox the one. Hahah

Exactly

My truck lost reverse and top gear last night, a new car may be in play sooner than I was thinking...

Is there such a thing as cold feet when car shopping? I think I have it.

Every time I think I have made a decision, I think about the (although minimal) work I've put into my current GTI and talk myself out of wanting to do it again haha.

slap a big turd blower on the MKV, call it a day

 

[hairyblackrabbit]

And you track/autox the one. Hahah

And im terribly worried about 10+ 5k launches a day.

Seriously. Im scared

Dumb idea? https://vwgoa.taleo.net/careersection/volkswagen_group_of_america_mobile/jobdetail.ftl?job=GRO000450

If you hadn't heard, VW is several billion in debt

 

[g60_corrado_91]

Risky but maybe the experience would be worth it. Where's it located?
