    Default Post your, "Hey...what kind of car is that?" stories...

    So far ive gotten asked if my car is a:

    - Jetta
    - BMW
    - Mercedes
    - Audi
    - Phaeton

    The best of all though was when i was getting my emissions done, the guy thought it was an A8. I mean i can understand A4...i can even see A6 as the Passat is a tad larger then the A4. A8 though...that thing is HUGE.

    Thoose were all done with the huge VW badge on the trunk, who knows what will happen now with the trunk all shaved:



    So anyone have any good stories to share?

    -Jordan

    I got rear ended back in November and needed a new trunk so i just had them shave it while it was there. He charged an extra $150, but painting the new trunk was already in the price for repairs so im not TOTALLY sure what it would cost if you just went and said you wanted the trunk shaved. Yellow River did it though (just an FYI).

    YRC shaved my Jetta up. nice job.
    I always got what is that?! with my jetta...most people thought Audi, a few went Benz...The shaved rear makes people question alot. Throw the tag in the bumper and they go ignorant.
    My civic was the one no one could guess what it was...I'd say whatever came to mind at the time.

    This isn't the best pic of Corrado but, it was extemely clean. I had it around 2000-2001 and I'd get people asking if it was a new model. The badges were on it but blacked out. Man I miss that car.
