new vw commercials that rag on tuner cars
Anyone else seen these hilarious commercials for the new GTI where two German engineers "pimp" out some tuner's ricer mod and destroy it, then throw out a VW gang sign?! Freakin' hilarious and clever! Makes me think of the Porsche commercials from the 90's where the engineers are coming up with the colors for the 911 - one has a jelly bean, another has his wife's lipstick, etc

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

It IS time for some backlash against ricers, tuners and all of their ilk.
Save the racing for the track, boys!

I normally think "to each their own..." but last night I had a run-in with a swarm (no other way to think of it at the time) of 4 Civic/Integra "Brraaaaahrump" exhaust carrying idiots. They were cutting off themselves and others in traffic on a side road and up onto the highway (the same route I had to take to get home) where they proceeded to brake and pull parallel to each other (4 cars, 3 lanes) and then race. Just plain stupid driving, and now I can understand where some of the bad comments come from. Could see them pass a state cop on the side of the road up ahead and it must have been called in because an exit or so later there were a bunch of cars sitting to the side of the road behind a cruiser...

They are hilarious. At first I didn't get it.....
The actor is the guy who played the psychopath in Fargo
VW needed some help with its ad campaign
