I like those a lot, especially compared to our U.S. Rabbit/GTI. The heads and tails look really cool on that. Enjoy the VW. I was in one my entire childhood and new I'd get a VW as my first car. Got some pics in an earlier thread, but here is a snappy of my Jetta.


A fellow VW fan. I love it so much - I keep it clean and actually bought the chrome grille direct from VW and installed it myself.:cool::D

As for the Rabbit. . . Yeah I love those to and your families cars look great ! (though yours in the last photo could be cleaned a little bit :p ). . .over here in Northern Ireland the Rabbit is actually called the Volkswagen Golf - my Polo is the model down from it.

The golf is my car's daddy. :D

Yeah the model before the Rabbits (MK4) were called Golfs, but I don't think we've ever had Polos. As for the cleaning, it is hard as hell to keep these things clean in Minnesota winter... I'm waiting for the first day above 40-50 degrees so I can finally spend some time washing and waxing her.

AIG is purely co-incidental :D I'm a Man united fan though so it's great.

Although I hear they're ending our sponsorship deal next year so i'll enjoy it while its in date. :D

Woot! My first post!

Here's my 01 Audi TT

[beautiful car]
Your car makes cry! :(
I'm turning 16 and my mom was going to get me an 01 TT for my birthday, but then we checked the insurance on it, and it's 440 a month. I make all A's so I would get a 15% discount, but that's still around 370 or something.

I think I'll end up with an '03 A4, which is FINE with me. Still really nice car's, the TT is just my favorite.

Ah well. Beautiful car though..
It's really stunning.

Why the hell you getting full coverage? I pay $88 a month on my Acura, I just drive safe. If someone steals it, oh well. If someone rear ends me, they better have insurance... But even the Dodge Durango I am looking at, so I can pool a Travel Trailer, will cost me about $140 a month to insure. Also note, I am 18...

PS: I rather have the A4.

Well, the bank demands full coverage since we are financing it through them.
And being 16, the chances of getting in a wreck for my first couple of years driving is very high unfortunately.
It'll go down when I'm twenty five.
What sucks the most though, is that if I was female, insurance for the same car would be about $200.

If anyone's interested, I think I'm going for this A4.

That's not really an option.
The car will get payed off in about a year, most likely less, but this car is meant to get me through highschool and for as much of college as possible - comfortably.

I'm more of a two door type of guy, (mom owns a g35 coupe) and I can't drive big vehicles - haha, I've tried, it's scary :p (my step-dad has a Hummer H2), but with the insurance the way it is, I'm settling on a 4-door.
But I'm totally grateful for whatever car I get. I realize I'm a very lucky person for the cars that are being offered to me, so I can't complain really. :)

I would still ask for some beater car through high school, then when i graduate ask for the Audi. But that's just me, if I had that option. At least you will learn and if you wreck, it's just a beater. You can pick up a beater for $500-1,000. But that Audi is nice.

That looks like a U.S. plate.

You are correct, I smell elk ****...

Well I know that it is popular here for people with Euro cars to put Euro plates on the front of their cars and keep U.S. ones on the back, maybe it's just the opposite over seas.

Hmmm, but in Euro. I think they are required to have front and rear?

Most states are required to here as well. It is one of those petty laws though that few people will actually get pulled over for.


Yes, it is an Alaska US plate that I use for car shows/events. I also Have a JDM plate:
