    I'm not sure if i have seen a cars thread on the forum here before. Anybody else enjoy cars? i guess i have a mild obsession with the german variety (hence the 4 rings under my name), not as bad as my RSL obsession but its close. i drive a 2004 audi a4 1.8t quattro. i've gotten into modding/tuning it a little bit, some bigger injectors, tuned ECU, upgraded sway bars, and some other upgraded engine components to help get the power up a little higher. she's still a fat bitch though and feels crazy slow. in the future ill probably go big turbo if i ever get the money.

    Dude, I love Cars! And so do my kids! We especially like the part where the little Italian car is changing Lightning McQueen's tires at the big race. I laugh every time I see that.

    Beautiful A4, UP. I dig the black wheels.

    I'll have to get a picture of my A6 wagon up here soon. She's a 2.8 V6 but a little large so she's definitely not the fastest car in the world. :)

    I drive a '05 toaster with wheels. Yes...one of those things.

    I love my xB--and I own it, too. Kind of hard to miss me--my plates say: BAD BOZ

    With a car like mine, you really get honest opinions from people about it. Some say they hate it. Some say they love it. There's no holding back. There's no in between.

    There's a lot more to this car than its square shape. For fewer than 20K, the standard features are great. The 360 degree view is cool for road trips, and it is quite roomy for looking so small on the outside.

    Say what you want, but I love my brave little toaster.

    Mrs. Ismitje (aka Serra, an infrequent form poster) and I have been married for almost 20 years. We've owned six cars in that time, and expended a grand total of $19,000 for the lot of them.

    So, I guess this isn't the thread for me/us. :)

    NICE! the R32 is a sick little beast. did you hear they are bringing the R32 in 2012 to the US again? its going to be a 2.0 turbo charged replacing the VR6, supposedly its going to have HP approaching the STI and Evo. should be awesome.

    yup, won't be considered an R32 though since no 3.2 VR6, will be called a Golf R. Looking forward to the 4 door version finally making an appearance in the states.

    I drive a 88 mazda RX7 Turbo Two Tenth Anniversary. I love it. haven't upgraded anything on it yet. Its still pretty much stock. Its a blast to drive and to slide around the corners. I don't have a picture.. sorry!
