I know you did. Just wanted your attention!
I am in a bad mood.
I am getting into my GTi and will bump into one of these UK hippos!

The Jetta we had might have had 170 bhp but it sure didn't feel like it. It is an inline 5 cylinder so it can't be the V5 engine that they used to stick in the Mk4s?
As for that crappy Dodge ( I know this is off topic but nevertheless) I thought it was downright dangerous. Driving round the jam packed freeways of LA you'd spot a gap that you might want to nip into but there was such a long gap between flooring the throttle and the car doing anything that the gap would be gone or you'd end up cutting someone up. Thank God our GTis offer instantaneous performance.

Indeed, there was some discussion a while back that if that 5 pot fits in the golf/jetta then the TTRS  5 pot should drop straight in aswell which is an interesting prospect for modders in a couple of years time.

A country full of slothful obese people who cannot even walk or think independently. :sick:

Not that we like to generalise on this forum :grin:
C'on now lol

To our defend:

1. We have more twisty roads in US than Europe let alone UK.
2. Our gas is not crappy, do not be fooled by lower number octane. And it is way cheaper.
3. We buy VWs, cheaper, and furthermore, we buy luxury cars way cheaper.
4. Some States have no sales tax on vehicles, and the highest sales is a tad higher 10%
5. Our obese people, as much as they eat, have much better looking and healthier teeth than an average Brit lol.

To your defend:

1. American cars suck.
2. We pay $400.00-$500.00 a month on health insurance.
3. Our education system till COLLEGE, is less complex, therefore more incompetent compared to Europeans.
4. Only chicks play football (soccer), which is so wrong in so many ways.
5. We tend to invade countries we don't like, which is stupid sometimes.

but still, it is the land of free.....
