[quote=NewtoSanDiego]Yes we live in a car culture, especially in SoCal. Brand image is key, you are what you drive.
I want to make a statement. I am somebody, I am fabulous and I am better than you.
Like it or not, your Audi will never be viewed as BMW. Audis are just rebadged Volkswagons. I wouldn’t be caught dead in one[/quote]
Is this a serious thread or a joke?
If serious, this is just another fine example of why this country is in decline.
OP, just go buy the most expensive car that you can con someone into lending you the money for, problem solved.
P.S.
Why is there always so much VW hate. My wife and I both drive VWs, not a single problem so far. My Jetta is over 5 years old, her’s is over 3. I’ve even autocrossed and done a couple of track days in mine. Just change the oil.
