Of the 1987 cars, I love the F40 so much.

I love the 959 just as much, but it's unusual that those two are compared so much.

It's strange that the Yellowbird has to be the black sheep of the 1987 cars, but I guess that goes to show how much of another level it was on.

[twin belfry]

My two favorite cars of 1987 would have to be the F40 and the HR31 GTS-R Skyline

[open kayak]

Every car that appeared in the 1987 Road & Track: World's Fastest Cars piece was great.

I'd love to get an original copy at some point.

[dense trellis]

I love that first pic, so iconic

[open kayak]

Yellowbird, my beloved.

[sick pike]

what's the one with the gullwings

[tawdry badger]

One Isdera Imperator 108i, looking in the morning mist like a 21st century monorail car that had traded its rail in on a set of wheels. This lovely gullwing creation, whose styling is based on the b+ b CW311, was brought by its designer and builder, Eberhard Schulz, from his small 12-man factory near Stuttgart. There are only eight of these cars in the world, with two more nearly completed. The Imperator is built with Porsche 928 suspension pieces, an AMG-built 390-bhp Mercedes 5.6-liter V-8 mated to a ZF 5-speed transaxle, a steel-tube space frame and fiberglass bodywork.

from the article

[cursive karma]

left any fucking day

not because the 959 is bad

but because the F40 is so good

[open kayak]

It is.

It's up there on the list of greatest driver's cars of all time.

I'd say it's second only to the F1.

JDM🤤

[jovial perch]

🤮

[twin belfry]

Be thankful you’re not in a server full of 12 year old JDM fanboys. Otherwise, you’d be dead.

[jovial perch]

nah cuz ik how to handle them

they are like 9 years olds

no brain

like fr imagine spending thousands of bucks (whether its dollars or euro) to get clapped by stock supercars

they act hard when they beat a supercar

like lmfao

[twin belfry]

“R34 and JZA80 Supra is best cars, JDM best Europeean and murican cars are shit Fast and Furious is the best”

-every jdm fanboy

[jovial perch]

European cars are literally the king of the car world

dont belive me? learn history

[twin belfry]

Motorcycles can beat Supercars in a straight line speed competition, and I don’t think any rider gets rock hard when they beat a supercar.

[jovial perch]

they like omg is that a supra 😭 😭 yeah bro that car is tuned to the level its not even the same brand

[jovial perch]

accelaration maybe

idk i ride enduro

[twin belfry]

Yeah. That and power to weight ratio

[jovial perch]

droppin a bike pic

lil pitter

150cc

[twin belfry]

Yup. Germany made the first car.

[jovial perch]

called Mercedes Benz

[twin belfry]

Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler

[jovial perch]

Ferrari being one if not the best cars in the world

looking at history

these days Merc' are mostly the same design

same rear

same front

[twin belfry]

So boring

[jovial perch]

In the Museum

[spare vigil]

yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[slate tiger]

Sit in it and run

Steal it

[spare vigil]

why aint it red tho

[slate tiger]

Exactly

[gray seal]

there's not much running space inside a car

[tawdry badger]

most of the ferrari due to it's le mans win, were ordered red. Spec like this or any colour other than red was a rare spec.

[spare vigil]

why did i just suddenly become ashamed to be a porsche fan

man that's cringe

[coral gorge]

No way this is real right? Neighbors seem to have a very expensive Ferrari. The exhaust didn’t look right when I walked by it. Also doubt they’d park such an expensive car outside

[spare vigil]

that cant be fucking real

no fucking way

[coral gorge]

yeah there's no way the park a 50 mil car outside

[spare vigil]

no way someone rich enough to have that would be your neighbor in the first place

[coral gorge]

[spare vigil]

the curve at the back really doesn't look right

[coral gorge]

the exhaust isnt right either

[clever jasper]

I bet it's a datsun frame

[cinder hatch]

can you look up the plate on the interent

see what its registered as

[coral gorge]

it has one of those temp paper plate # and its not coming up on any searches

[cinder hatch]

damn it

[spare vigil]

i think the back is wrong in general

first off the part that goes in

then the lights

then the badges

and then the thing on the fender

fuel tank too?

and the rims

[coral gorge]

yeah it does look off

wrong exhaust, fuel cap in wrong place, rear window is supposed to be curved a bit

still cool i guess

looks nice in person

[wraith peak]

Congrats @coral gorge, you're now on lap 15

[jovial perch]

JDM are cringe lmao

and no im not a Porsche fan

[spare vigil]

you going out on a limb to call JDM cringe is cringe

[jovial perch]

[spare vigil]

it’s cool

[hollow wing]

Its nice

[spare vigil]

🤢

[jovial perch]

9 liters on 100 is WAY a lot

cuz those wagons eat 7-9 liters

[ripe night]

Performance isn’t the only factor which can make you like the car

[jovial perch]

but it effects it more than the look

[ripe night]

A car could have shit performance but it could look beautiful

[spare vigil]

bro i thought he was gonna go off on horsepower and weight

then he goes on fuel efficiency

which is rather based

[jovial perch]

who tf goes for that

well i mean

more weight more consumption

but yeah

dont care abt horsepower

you wont take that on a racetrack

btw from that angle it kinda looks like a Skoda Octavia lol

Skoda has same-ish grill

[jovial perch]

no buy

easy as that

[cinder hatch]

but you know you take to a race track

[jovial perch]

ok and

he took it for fun

[cinder hatch]

It even got a rollcage on it

I think

[jovial perch]

those rims dont fit

[jovial perch]

they take literal street cars with no mods on it

[coral gorge]

thats what porsche chose to show how would i know

[drifting breach]

taycan 4s ct is basically a squashed down porsche macan or cayenne in a way

[spare vigil]

and i have no complaints

except that it isn’t silver

[jovial perch]

Porsche looks good in red

[drifting breach]

porsche just looks good

[spare vigil]

[drifting breach]

theres some models tho that r like questionable

[jovial perch]

every car has it's best color

[drifting breach]

the macan in red god dayum

[coral gorge]

macan GTS in red

[drifting breach]

i wish my dad got his in red but he wouldnt order a proper colour

[drifting breach]

yup

[drifting breach]

[jovial perch]

they just look stunning in those colors

[cinder hatch]

[drifting breach]

idfk its a base line nothing special second hand 19 plate

[jovial perch]

[drifting breach]

the 0-60 is 15.4 seconds

60

[coral gorge]

[drifting breach]

so nothing special

[spare vigil]

ok but

how much exaggerated swagger does it have

[drifting breach]

but myabe this website thing is wrong

i just searched the numver plate

[drifting breach]

very much alot

[spare vigil]

you know one thing i just realised

the james bond films could've been so much better

if Bond's car was a C2 Corvette split window

[coral gorge]

the one brosnan film where he had a bmw z3

at least Goldeneye was good

[spare vigil]

I've started rewatching the bond films

from dr. no

[coral gorge]

Thoughts on new Z?

[spare vigil]

based

would be more based if it was smaller

but well modern car things

[twin belfry]

I like it.

[ancient scarab]

cars are too fat bring back simple and light

[winter dragon]

^^

also looks nice but the front headlights kinda look like an Aston Martin's

[twin belfry]

The grille could have been done a bit better

[ancient scarab]

it's a nod at the original Z - ever looked at one nose on no bumper?

[twin belfry]

That makes more sense. I normally don’t pay attention to the S30’s grille most of the time

[jovial perch]

that looks horrendous

[sick pike]

where the bar running across the grille

I like it better with that bar

new one looks decent

also I'm trying to find this one Datsun car my mom used to drive

i forgot what model it is

and she forgot too

all I know is it might've been a 3 door Datsun from the 80s

[spare vigil]

only valid JDM car

[clever jasper]

the Japanese Ferrari 250 GTO

[agile perch]

Japanese E-Type

[coral gorge]

original NSX was pretty sweet

i want one of these

2008 model

[wide obsidian]

Ford is honestly getting back on their feet though

[sick pike]

or a supercharged one

[wide obsidian]

their 2021 and 22 lineups have been impressive gotta say

[sick pike]

if the cobalt SS was rwd

[wide obsidian]

tbh ever since the discontinuation of the Fusion, they've had an upward curve

[sick pike]

it would be perfect

[wide obsidian]

Fusion was god awful and disrespectful

to the AM brand

[sick pike]

yeah

poor man's am

[wide obsidian]

didn't look good in NASCAR either

[sick pike]

imagine though
rwd turbo cobalt ss

[wide obsidian]

sounds badass

[sick pike]

that would fucking sell like hotcakes

gm bring back the cobalt and do that

[astral tartan]

He has a special place reserved in hell for that

[dawn parcel]

Didn't GM bring back the Ss as a rebadged holden monaro though?

[astral tartan]

N/A engine as well

[sick pike]

the Chevy ss looked cool ngl

[dawn parcel]

I actually liked that car

[astral tartan]

My fav nfsmw starter car

[sick pike]

i actually liked how it looked

[sick pike]

my starter car too

[wide obsidian]

I think it was just renders

plans never came to fruition

[sick pike]

no they made an ss model

[astral tartan]

Yeah had a Corvette engine on a Camaro chassis Chevy didn't advertise it so it failed

[wide obsidian]

I really liked the SS

[dawn parcel]

This one

[wide obsidian]

but it just never sold here in the US

yes

[astral tartan]

Yep for 50 grand

[wide obsidian]

famous for being the NASCAR model that would never sell

[sick pike]

it looked cool

[astral tartan]

Agree

[sick pike]

nice image quality

[dawn parcel]

Really sad how gm left this one to die under the radar

[astral tartan]

Opinions?

[dawn parcel]

It had potential even though it was badge engineered

[sick pike]

id totally buy one

[wide obsidian]

I love the SS only because when they brought the Camaro in the Cup Series, Jimmie Johnson started sucking

[sick pike]

impreza?

[astral tartan]

Ye

[sick pike]

cool

[dawn parcel]

Nah

[wide obsidian]

a ton of people hate the new Impreza

but tbh I love it

[dawn parcel]

Not worth it

[sick pike]

what else can you do with an old icon design wise

[astral tartan]

This is what they said it would look like

[dawn parcel]

I loved the concept

[astral tartan]

Viziv

[sick pike]

that looks eh

too edgy

[dawn parcel]

They totally ruined the production model

[wide obsidian]

new Imprezas are still used in recreational rally which is cool

They're either extremely cheap with a lot of bad mods and mechanical issues, or close to stock and very expensive.

[stark ibex]

its the main car here

germany sends their old cars here

[stark ibex]

i think the EG6 would be the cheapest to build

[open kayak]

Definitely.

[stark ibex]

for sure mate

if i buy it in a bad condition imma get parts to make it stock again

and nice and clean

thats gonna be cheaper than the german cars

[open kayak]

Hondas in general are cheap to work with, but most people treat them like crap.

[stark ibex]

yeah exactly

the EG6 is light-weight so imagine tuning it

i'll remove a bunch of shit

for less weight

maybe computer tune

or if i get a bunch of money

new VTEC engine what are they called again

there this one

i forgot

B16?

yeah B16

would be hella cool

the B16 you would find in an EK9

which car would you want as your first car if you don't have one already

Well, I have a Kia Forte S right now.

if you get it will you sell the Kia?

[open kayak]

If not that, a Honda Prelude or Acura RSX.

No, probably not. I need it as a daily.

[open kayak]

I've been chatting with a mechanic in my town, for whatever I might not be able to do myself.

He owns a little shop, and he's certified by both Porsche and BMW.

@open kayak if you had all the money in the world

which cars would you buy

[ancient scarab]

haha such a question that always is

[stark ibex]

for sure lmao

[open kayak]

A 1987 RUF CTR is always the certain answer.

[stark ibex]

I love Porsches, but mainly homologation specials of all sorts.

[stark ibex]

would rally that shit

i love how the rear opens

[ancient scarab]

this is where token and I disagree, on porsches... but homologation cars we agree

[open kayak]

The CTR is, to me, representative of my favorite era of cars, being the mid to late Eighties.

[ancient scarab]

1968-1988

[sharp nacelle]

i would get the mclaren f1, porsche gt1, and mercedes clk-gtr

[ancient scarab]

that's the span with a few exceptions on the ends

[open kayak]

Turbo-lag, lightweight, and pure lunacy.

[ancient scarab]

yeah, i'm not a fan of turbo cars

[open kayak]

If you've ever seen the Nurbürgring video, it says everything.

[ancient scarab]

pun not intended

[stark ibex]

i would get the CLK-GTR and Project One as well as the Black Series

[sharp nacelle]

as well as an early 60's alfa romeo giulietta spider

in red

[stark ibex]

i like a euro supercar taste

for old cars hm

FC rx-7

[sharp nacelle]

i mean i prefer supercharger so

[stark ibex]

yeah lmao on any car seller sites tbh

[sharp nacelle]

and on bring a trailer

[open kayak]

I'd love a rally car of some sort. There was a prepped Peugeot 106 Rallye on Bring a Trailer earlier this week.

[stark ibex]

i would have an Evo 5

Rally build

[open kayak]

I was outbid, of course.

[stark ibex]

Mitsubishi Evo 5

[open kayak]

It would have been my best bad decision.

[stark ibex]

you know what i find stupid

the inflation of AE86 prices

just because of a show

[open kayak]

It was imported from Sicily, too, which would have been a great story.

[stark ibex]

a thing i could buy for 5K back then is now 30K

[open kayak]

For context, my great grandparents were Sicilian.

Things would have come full-circle.

[sharp nacelle]

that's cool

[stark ibex]

nice nice

shitttt the price tag

[open kayak]

Speaking of coming full-circle, I spoke of Honda when you mentioned-

[stark ibex]

pretty good

[open kayak]

Beat me to it.

I'm having a hard time finding Hondas I want. I want one that's as close to stock as possible, but they're almost impossible to find like that.

[stark ibex]

yeah man its a pain

i want an EG6 or EK9

[open kayak]

Civic Sis are very, very good driver's cars from the factory.

[stark ibex]

street builds

turbo builds if i have money by then

i like Altezzas a lot tho

[ancient scarab]

me too - I actually met Randy, he wanted to buy my station wagon

[stark ibex]

i wanna track build a toyota Alt

[sharp nacelle]

thats really cool

[open kayak]

Bring a Trailer is heaven.

[stark ibex]

i'm not even legally allowed to drive cars yet so im dreaming big for now lmao

[ancient scarab]

i kinda miss the original, but he's made himself a boatload of money

[coral gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/doug-demuro-more-doug-less-doug-carsandbids-caaaaars-and-biiiiids-gif-21566854

Be sure to check out cars and bids

[stark ibex]

i once checked there and i saw good shit

[open kayak]

I want to wait a bit on Cars and Bids. It's still growing, so it's hard to find a lot of cars there.

There are great cars, but not many of them.

[ancient scarab]

when I'm done with my lancia it's going on BaT

[open kayak]

• Affordable ones, nevertheless.

Now that you mention it, what's the fee for selling on Bring a Trailer?

I can't imagine they only run off of the little bid fees.

[ancient scarab]

the fee is transferred to the buyer on BaT

that's one of the beauties of it, encourages sellers to go there

but buyer beware!

[sick pike]

found a vw golf r32 under 100k miles for 8k on cars and bids

mostly stock too

that's a banger deal ngl

[coral gorge]

I saw that one

Looked nice

[ancient scarab]

thats pretty low, i'd be super cautious

[ancient scarab]

[ancient scarab]

my goal is 200whp

[sick pike]

leaving a car bone stock is hard

[ancient scarab]

yes it is especially if you have the money and know the ways already

[sick pike]

you always wanna modify it to become something that's unique to you

[ancient scarab]

yep

this was my 2001

[sick pike]

mk4s look cool too

[ancient scarab]

this was my 99.5

[sick pike]

nice

[ancient scarab]

those two were built TDIs

[sick pike]

they all look different from each other

[ancient scarab]

yep

i got mine purely for the sound

[sick pike]

oh the diesel engines be got in trouble for?

[ancient scarab]

they get awful fuel economy

[ancient scarab]

no, before. these were non dieselgate engines.

[sick pike]

*vw

oh

[ancient scarab]

engine code ALH

super solid. both of those made like 200 lb/ft of torque

they were quick but not fast

the VR is fast

but it's not fast compared to a lot of other shit a topline big engine toyota minivan TRD model will run me hard

up to about 60

then i go away

zoom

[sick pike]

theyre a bit slow on accel?

[ancient scarab]

well, it's a 2.8L not a 3.5 for one thing, and a manual not an automatic

[sick pike]

[sick pike]

I'll watch that when I get out of online class

should end in a bit

[ancient scarab]

in a few months i should have techtonics 264 cams and it'll sound angrier

[sick pike]

sounds nice

despite vr6's being classified as v6's they sound most like a straight 6

[ancient scarab]

yep the sound is addictive

[sick pike]

i6's sound cool

[ancient scarab]

v12s sound better 🙂

[spare vigil]

i second that

[ancient scarab]

flat 12s sound even better

[coral gorge]

not limited to F1, v12 v10 v8 what sounds best

[ancient scarab]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ23f35GlVw

3:20 is the money shot

[spare vigil]

i like the V8 era

[sick pike]

That's a good shot.

Did you take it?

[grim vector]

917's sound glorious

hearing them under load is just insane

saw quite a few at goodwood back in 2019

[ancient scarab]

yeah there were several on track at once that year

[dense trellis]

I saw a mk4 while in a mk5, pretty interesting experience

[silk forum]

nah

but it's so good I wanted to share it

[ancient scarab]

omg huzzah my suspension finally goes in tomorrow. it's been too long of a wait!

[fathom rose]

H&R and koni

it's a little colorful in there but you don't really see it when the car is on the ground

It's like an Easter egg

well after spending the day driving twisties in napa valley, I love the new suspension

[tiny pasture]

any thoughts about the redbull sportcar guys?

[spare vigil]

isn't that

an aston

[tiny pasture]

it is but with a redbull livery

should have pointed that out

[jagged crater]

It's the Red Bull liveried Valkyrie prototype

https://s38.wheelsage.org/picture/a/aston_martin/red_bull/red_bull_rb14/aston_martin_valkyrie_prototype/red_bull_rb14_aston_martin_valkyrie_prototype.jpeg

Also the Valkyrie is GOATed

[cinder hatch]

yes

[coral gorge]

blue and red RB livery looks good

they should use it

for races

[open kayak]

Do any of you guys have advice on haggling?

I might be buying that second car I always speak about.

[ancient scarab]

offer half

[open kayak]

That's low-balling, isn't it?

$7,200.00 for a well-maintained, garage-kept car and spare parts.

Any lower than $7,000.00 seems like a scummy offer.

[sick pike]

8k

or like 10

[open kayak]

No, no. He's asking for $7,200.00.

[sick pike]

oh

yeah that is a low price for a good deal

[open kayak]

I'm thinking that I should ask for $7,000.00 if I can find a good enough reason to tack off $200.00, which right now, I can't think of.

It's a 2001 MX-5 LS, with just under 170,000 miles.

There likely is some underlying problem, but for the life of me, I can't think of what it might be.

It's in beautiful condition, by the looks of it.

I don't see even the slightest bit of rust on it, and for a car in the Northeast, that's exceptionally high praise.

[clever jasper]

go 7150

get an extra 50 bucks off

get the whip

then buy a big gulp on your way home

[open kayak]

If a drink ever costed fifty dollars, I think there would be a lot more to worry about.

[clever jasper]

nono

Big gulp + gas

Because you have to stop at a 7/11 to get drink

[sick pike]

7/11s are gas stations?

[clever jasper]

oH nO tHeY aRe TrAuMa CeNtErS

[sick pike]

in my place 7/11s are usually just standalone stores

every gas station has its own line of convenience stores

[clever jasper]

7/11s have gas

Some don't, but most do

[ancient scarab]

yep

[open kayak]

I'm going to shoot for $7,000.00. That'll save me about a month in storage fees.

It'll be my first time getting a second car, so I'm a bit anxious about it.

I think only one other person in my family has had two cars simultaneously.

[misty matrix]

social credit +100

[jagged crater]

[ancient scarab]

between m'lady and I we have 11 motorized vehicles. we are culling the herd.

[clever jasper]

Dude just say cars

[ancient scarab]

no. cars, motorcycles, scooters, mopeds

[open kayak]

I think it was my Uncle who had two cars at once. Apart from me, he's the closest this family has had to a dedicated car enthusiast.

[clever jasper]

then say vehicles

[ancient scarab]

trucks

[clever jasper]

not motorized vehicles

[clever jasper]

TRUCKS ARE VEHICLES

[open kayak]

Just about everyone in the family thinks the concept of having two different cars is insane.

[ancient scarab]

are you really correcting my grammar?

[open kayak]

Meanwhile, I'd like to have at least three at some point in my life.

[clever jasper]

potentially

[ancient scarab]

so the 80 rabbit truck goes first

[clever jasper]

[ancient scarab]

got a perfect offer keeping it in the family

[ancient scarab]

[clever jasper]

okay bernie

[ancient scarab]

[clever jasper]

what?

[ancient scarab]

hey $2000 worth of performance work on my GTI in trade for the old truck is a good deal for both parties

know anyone who wants a nice 94 jetta?

[clever jasper]

uhhh

I would for my first car, but that's a long ass shipment

plus bronk

[open kayak]

My younger friend was looking into older Jettas.

He settled on a Passat, though.

I was hoping he'd have gone with the Jetta, though.

Nineties Jettas are cars I like, strangely.

[clever jasper]

Holy hell the old Jetta is just

b o x

[open kayak]

Well, it's small too.

Jettas got pretty big in the 2000s.

In the Nineties, though, they were still small and chuckable cars.

[ancient scarab]

this car but not the wheels

[open kayak]

Where are those wheels going?

[ancient scarab]

it'll be on these

the bbs go to m'ladys GTI

this car is an interesting one

OEM rear disc + internal swaybar

no abs

no sunroof

aba manual

[open kayak]

Was it a base model?

[ancient scarab]

it's k2 swapped

yep 49 state, too

[clever jasper]

How much to buy another set you have

Because you're totally a rim dealer

[ancient scarab]

haha no, I'm not

im a wheel junkie though but not to that level

wheels are like shoes

[clever jasper]

and life is like a box of chocolates

[ancient scarab]

I restored those rado steels myself

the gold is from grimmspeed

matches bbs perfectly

[open kayak]

For Volkswagens, it's really just BBS and ATS that you want to go to, anyhow.

If you're younger, Rotiform.

[clever jasper]

OZ's can look pretty sick on a rally spec Volkswagen

[ancient scarab]

ew rotiforms might as well run wheels made of lead

[open kayak]

Rotiforms aren't really my kind of wheel.

[ancient scarab]

im a huge fan of low unsprung weight

[open kayak]

I like the old, retro-style racing wheels.

[ancient scarab]

that's why I have fat fives on my GTI

next is probably ultraleggeras

these are forged

[open kayak]

Older BBS models, and especially Watanabes are probably my favorites.

[ancient scarab]

RZ

those were on my e30

[open kayak]

The deeper dish ones are nice. They're reminiscent of old GT cars.

[ancient scarab]

these are the jetta wheels when they were fresh

[open kayak]

Yeah, they look O.E.M. to me.

[ancient scarab]

they are from a mk2 GLI 16v

they have vw stamps

just like the set i scored for the corrado

so yeah we love wheels

bbs especially

[clever jasper]

Absolutely beautiful

[open kayak]

I'd still love to get my hands on a red VR6 Corrado.

[ancient scarab]

fly out I'll take you for a spin

[open kayak]

It's easily Volkswagen's magnum opus.

[ancient scarab]

agreed

[open kayak]

Hopefully they aren't too hard to find in good condition not long down the road.

• Let alone, mostly unmodified.

[ancient scarab]

that's her car, she's had it longer than me, and I'm not carving into that facet of her identity

which is why I have the gti 24v

it's similar but very different

[ancient scarab]

yes, I love these

@open kayak we can help you

we have the west coast scene covered

la, sac, sf, pdx, seatac

[clever jasper]

I'd like to find some beaten up car from the 80s and make it a tarmac rally car

[open kayak]

I'm from New Jersey, so that poses a problem.

[clever jasper]

take it to cars and coffee

[ancient scarab]

we have the good ones though

rust

rust

rust

[open kayak]

I'm not in the market just yet for a Corrado, though. At my budget, I'd have to get the four-cylinder model.

[clever jasper]

and more rust

[ancient scarab]

we don't have it

[open kayak]

Personally, I don't want a Corrado unless it's an SLC.

[ancient scarab]

vr vs g60, not a huge gap in price

[open kayak]

Or, better yet, a Euro-spec VR6.

[ancient scarab]

hers is not stock. might as well be euro spec

[open kayak]

We only had the VR6 badged as the SLC, right?

[ancient scarab]

yes

[open kayak]

I hate that. I'd much rather have the VR6 badge instead of the SLC badge.

[ancient scarab]

my gf is a corrado expert she worked for vw for 20y

[open kayak]

But, changing the badge feels wrong.

[ancient scarab]

here's a lol for you

we got the opportunity to save some vw history

https://youtu.be/Vq7x7HKxhHI

it's a vw billboard
