    Re: revolution in the us of a?

    Not nearly as safe as a passat. Forged steel vs stamped. 3 piece welded doors vs 1 solid piece. 12 inch solid steel frames vs 5. And so on... The question about having a wife or not has more to do with having to compromise...often, or not. Which I do/did and now drive this vw for that reason.

    Not sure but are you calling my lazy? I don't just do photography guy. I've been working since age 15. Several of the jobs were 15 hour days. If you don't mind me asking, what job do you have that affords you the time to give my posts so much thought?

    oh ya, and I almost forgot to mention...the VW, was the least expensive and the dealer was the most compromising and easy to work with.

    When you start a thread on economic inequality, and the middle class wagering a dysfunction as they are loosing privileges like driving European cars, per se. Why should you contradict your own point? My argument is not based on comparing on the advantaged looking down on the disadvantaged, on the contrary of the disadvantaged looking up to the advantaged, and complaining why we are not equal? You are, you have the opportunities to do so, and that is one of the beneficiaries of the capitalist systems.

    Irrespective of me having kids, a wife etc. etc. my financial outcomes and management should not be biased on this, nor the safety rating on a car, Last time I checked, the Camary (here in Australia) still got a high rating 36.27/37 for safety. (Toyota safety | Camry crash test - ANCAP
    ). So what does that have to do with anything? It's quiet ironic that you make comments on this forum of trying to invest in shares, you secondary income (I assume) with your photography work, has obviously increased you finical capacity, then why complain on others making more?

    Sorry, this is nothing personal or directed towards you but it's relative to all these hippies that complain they don't make any money and should be greater wealth distribution for doing nothing. When I was walking past the Occupy movement when it was based here in Sydney, I literally had come close to kicking this guy in the head because of in-cumbersome laziness.

    Sounds good . We had a passat a few yrs ago - but it was my wife's, they are fun cars. Diesel would be cool.

    I really like the new VWs. My friend just got a diesel Passat and loves it. He is a real estate appraiser, so the mileage is a nice benefit.

    Plus, they are great cars for aftermarket audio.


    BTW - are you still in WP? I really want to check out your car still .
    Yes, I'm here. Moving truck loads on Tuesday.
    My car is staying here for a while, though. We are going to be living in 2 places for a while.
    I'll maybe be able to meet up after turkey day.

I've never bought a brand new car before, it's pretty awesome. BTW - are you still in WP? I really want to check out your car still .

    I actually lost brain cells reading the above, might OD on some fish capsules to realign perspectives, nor hemispheres.
    My liberal arts degree means I have to drive a Japanese car.
    Tough titties.

    The revolution I speak of, is more along the lines of this:

    The greatest achievement of Wikileaks, is that we ordinary people are no longer allowed to pretend that we don't know.
