Thats fricken BS he would do that! But honestly, I would see that as a blessing! I would buy a Kia before i owned another European car.

chrysler owns mitsubishi which owns hyundai which owns kia :) But i am far from a Dodge guy. I am a (dare i say it) toyota, and a chevy guy

Not to hijack an already hijacked thread, but....

FYI, Chrysler no longer owns Mitsubishi, who in turn do not own Hyundai and Kia. Mitsubishi has a joint manufacturing alliance/partnership with Kia.

Yea, I'm a Chevrolet guy too. About the farthest I could venture from Chevy is to Pontiac (R.I.P. :cry:).

the only car manufacturers i would buy from is Ford, VW, Audi, BMW.. maybe some exceptions...

Im looking at another jetta now its got 200K miles and is all stock the price is ALOT cheaper so i would easily beable to go through the engine and mod it how i want and stay within my budget.

Just be patient you'll find what you want.

Nothing like the sound of a lil turbo sucking in air and crapping it out through a fart can!

Get a V8! or a diesel!

Just drove my buddy's 99 lotus esprit v8 turbo. 3.5 liter v8 with twin turbos. Fun, was doing 100+ in the neighborhood. And it only runs 10psi. He plans to pump it up to 15psi, 550hp or more.

As far as anything german goes, I will never own one again. The MB I had was just cheaply made. I am a ford guy, but would buy a dodge or (cringe) a gov't motors vehicle before I went german again...

Just working on these cars everyday (paint and body) shows me how unnecesarily complex they are. Even the toyotas and nissans are going that way. Have not fooled with too many new ford cars, but the trucks are still ok. Parts are getting more complex though, which is nver good. Guess it is just a sign of the times.

:rules: re-read :yes:

I have a highly modded 97 F-250 7.3

and im looking to buy a VW TDI which is a diesel.... :whistle:

i found one in fortworth im driving down friday to check it out, if it is as he says im buying it on the spot and then dumping $4500 in parts for it because its all stock and cheap. I want to have one thats fixed up and its gotta have double the stock power (stock is 90hp and 162tq) im looking at 170-185hp and atleast 330tq with the engine additions. Thats why i want one.

I'd like to think I have a fine appreciation of all engines, I drive a turbo, so does the wife - no pop-off valves or other audible junk...fuel costs about twice the US price here in Australia, so there's a second consideration when buying. While I don't mind the sound, under the bonnet is a mad womans breakfast...best to keep that covered up

I friend bought himself an RS4 last week...now that thing sounds amazing, has a little sport button that lets the drivers seat grip you firmer & changes the exhaust note. Goes like a scalded cat
