Jetta with MEDIUM SCHOOL wheels

[87 Turbo II]

Call it what you want, man, but it doesn't make it so. By the way, where you in 1986? Did we know each other? Unless you're a reincarnation, you weren't even a sperm cell or egg in your parents reproductive organs when I was doing this. So where is the validity in your calling my bluff?

Completely irrelevant. It's like when people throw out the "I'm old enough to be your father" argument. It may be true, but for the sake of this argument, you just threw it off the topic so people would forget. I want to know how you "choose not to want to scrub" approaching a 4 inch speedbump in a car with 2 inches of ground clearance without scrubbing because you "know how to drive a car that low without scrubbing". Don't just say I wasn't there, simply state the way you magically made the car 2 inches higher or lowered the speedbump. It's why I said bullshit.

So what you're saying is, you've always (and currently do) owned completely stock cars with zero modifications done to them?

All my modifications either increase grip, power,or responsiveness, they all tie in with the parts of a car that move it, and they enhance their intended functions. Wheels are put on a car to roll it, not to look any particular way. So to make them look like they poke out then stretch skinny stiff tires with small contact patches across them and tucking them under a fender at the expense of gouging the tires on the inner fender, wearing them unevenly with camber, and dealing with poor acceleration braking and fuel consumption from the added rotational mass seems pretty stupid. Modificatons should enhance a function, not make something fit a style at the expense of function.

I apologize for I can't remember, but how much money did we figure you spent on my car?

None, I didn't say you should have done whatever you want. It is your car, I was just saying it's a stupid way to spend money. the fact that that is my opinion is implied. Spend it how you want, I'll judge weather or not I think its stupid all I want, don't tell me you don't do the same thing when you enter a thread, see a car you don't like, and say "That wing is hideous." or anything similar.

A fashion item? I've been at this for longer than at least 85% of the people on this site. I don't believe I'm doing this for anything other than the FACT that I've been doing it ever since I could drive. Why are you on an automotive modification site if you're against automotive modifications? Later, QD.

I don't know why YOU do it. Although the reason "I do it because I've always done it" errs back to irrelevance in my opinion. At any rate, the part of my post this response was quoting wasn't meant just for you, but rather I.A. And fact of the matter is many of the IA members do look at their cars like women look at their clothes. Fashion even if they're impractical as hell. And I am not against all modification, but some, and to join a modification site means I have to deal with the kind of mods I disagree with to discuss the ones I do agree with that are lumped in.

To other misc. people in the thread: There was no lack of rationality to my post that needed addressing. And owned? Far from it. Also, I'm not close minded, I have given everything discussed great thought and just deduced my own opinions from it. Call it what you want.
