and they complain about us wasting gas...

well, it is not exactly that there is no speeding in US

in ATL it is usually speed limit + 10/15 miles

would be great if they had toll autobans, - but airlines might not like it too much ...

You sure that's not km/h?

Thank You for showing me the American way to converse with people!

I'm curious to know where you're from, because you obviously have some problem with "American" ways. Your snooty little attitude makes me want to address you even less. Flame baiters like you thrive off of attention, I guess I'm gonna have to stop giving you the satisfaction.

You'll be pleased to know that user genop was the one who started bashing French cars, while being as polite as any American would, I guess, by using the scientific term "frogs". That, I assume, came from his great American upbringing and education.

Get your people straight when trying to flame them, troll. I never called any cars "frogs". Take a look back in the thread and get your facts straight

It IS km/h. You assumed I meant MPH?

That list is a joke, right?

I'll stick to something that Elton John / Liberacci wouldn't be proud to drive.

[AvesPKS]

What's that dog-ugly car? Lancia-something? I'd take that.

 

[Supahfreak]

I've seen ONE of those cars before, The Volkswagen GTi. Im not used to a Racer boy list without Japanese cars on them either.

wow ... well, since You did accuse me of addressing You as a "Domestic car Nazi", which, of course, was just another in a series of lies from You, and, when I asked You to point out as to when I did so, You chose to just never reply

I guess that makes You a troll, since You called me that ("troll").

Now, I did confuse the users and it was indeed a different user who used the scientific term "frogs" and I did not notice too many Americans lecturing him on being antiFrench and impolite ...

Also, one more time, for the exceptionally bright one in the audience(that would be You):

no, I do not have a problem with anything American, other than American idiots (but, again, I do have a problem with idiots of all sorts, - German, French)

I do think that all countries and people are the same, just the flavours differ

And as far as calling my attitude "Your snooty little attitude", - well, You are the one who constantly writes insults, so, I guess You might want to check Your attitude too

The R32 is coming to the US, it will be limited production and will cost around $30,000. Dealers are taking deposits now.

Is that the one with about 270 hp?
I was surprised at how slow it was in 0-60 for such a powerful and relatively small and light vehicle

Well...150-160km/h isn't all that impressive, so yeah.

It it small, but it isn't light. There's a lot of weight that comes with 4-motion and with the VR6. The body itself is pretty heavy, but the car is solid. You can get more speed for the money by just chipping a 1.8t, the car is lighter and I think you get more torque out of a chipped turbo.

It's a hell of a lot better than 70 or 100km/h which seems to be the norm on the highways here.

Someone did call him a domestic car nazi and IT IS hard to keep names straight from time to time. It doesn't change the fact that this is an American board and your attitude is not something that flys around here. It has nothing to do with you being foreign, it is the fact that people don't take kindly to those who insult our country. It would be the same if I insulted whatever shit!hole you came from. I am tired of your fvcking attitude towards lots of posters on this board. I find it especially funny you sent me a PM and then when I replied you never did. Grow up you little troll. You are 10X more insulting than Geno ever was, but the asshat in you cannot understand that. I suggest you learn to STFU occasionally and listen.

Euro spec R32 output is 240Bhp, and I'd have 4motion over FWD ANY day. And the sound of a V6 beats that crummy 1.8T boom.

yeah, that's the thing, - it is small, slow and very expensive for what it is. One has to be a real true Golf fan to get it, I guess, - for it just makes no sense whatsoever.

You are 10X more insulting than Geno ever was, but the asshat in you cannot understand that. I suggest you learn to STFU occasionally and listen.

well, first of all, - I never received any messages: "You have 0 new private message(s). " Since I never used the messaging system before (and not a subscriber), - maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Sorry for any inconvinience

Secondly, Your post is, again, - just one big insult. Have You ever considered getting on with Your life and stopping lecturing others on what and how to do?

Also, it is funny, how all the Americans who do find time and effort to insult me, never seem to have a minute to apologise, even when they are indeed wrong/rude for no reason (as if reason justifies being rude ever, btw)

Also, I do think it is amusing, how, You are lecturing me on proper behavior, while insulting me number of times in a raw ... it seems You are just lonely and sad and need to insult someone, to feel better about Yourself, for, if one did want to smooth out whatever miscommunication and misunderstanding and conflict there is, - one'd choose a slightly more diplomatic approach ... one, - but not You

Anyway, I am sure You are a swell guy and upstanding contributing member of society, it is just that You are too scared to show Your true colours, for You are afraid that people take niceness for weakness. Yeah, I'd rather stick with that, than the other option, - You are sad and pathetic, arrogant and ignorant, - which, guess, makes You just a typical ... well, person who lives in Alabama, I guess. Or are You some sort of outcast? freak, not like the others at all?

Anyway, - I really do appreciate You being so respectful of me and my place of origin

Keep it up, and very soon I just might learn from Your example and start writing in the same fashion. Like calling Your place of origin a sh!thole. What is it, again, America?

Now, after You have set again an exchange of "action - reaction", - have a good one!

Bull$hit. You sent me a PM, you know what it is, you ARE a troll, grow up.

If You had tried, perhaps You would have noticed, that I did write that I sent few people messages, trying to not have all this great exchange done in public (for I doubt that many (if any) enjoy it). What I meant by not having used the messaging system before, - is that I never engaged in an actual exchange of messages. And, again, - right now it is showing "no new message(s)"

Now, once again, I'd like to thank You for Your polite conduct, respect and thinking that You have put into this conversation.

One swell guy, You are!
