Default silly VWs...

So im on my way home from a nice yummy ritas italian ice, i stop at a red light... look around to make sure its clear, and turn right. Im just cruising up to 55mph, all the sudden i hear this blow off valve. I look in my mirror and this passat is hauling *** past me.

We get up to a red light, he says "nice car." I say, "Cute turbo *grin*"

Light turns green, I spin a bit then bite. and im uh, gone... hes back in my rear-view.

Next light, he says "Holy ****! How much did u pay for that thing?"

I say, "$7000"

he says, "****, i spent ~$18000 for mine, and its tuned, cold air, exhaust... I shoulda bought something with muscle "

I say, "yeah... i like having my power at 2200rpm "

we started from a roll at 45mph. I still pulled on him, but not as hard as from a stop.

just because its turbo, doesn't mean its fast

My GF is convinced this Turbo Passat she test drove is the fastest thing she's ever been in.

I don't even touch the gas in mine cause it makes her chest hurt.

I wonder about her sometimes...

Sweet car man.
