I should have added... most people's sence of taste is only in their mouth :D

I can't afford to make my car perfect... but in a couple of months it will definetly be of my VERY good liking :-)
Allthough I don't think everyone else might agree with me.... but im okey with that :-D

It's not perfect,but at least it drives.  ;D  ;D  ;)

At least the body style and wheels (based on your avatar) are okay  ;D

 I think what 8 spoke is hinting at is the Hot VW's Dec 08 Cover thread.  Time to move on.

Words of wisdom!! What sarge said

I second that.

Perfect is what Perfect does

Fred nailed it.  This thread is pointless unless you're gonna unleash the details.......which isn't productive.  Move on. ;)

                                                         Thank God for you, Mark!

Mine is not perfect,still need to fix the dent in the front hood,swap the front fenders as i think i have a set from different years(one sit higher then the other),want to lower the front more,get it repainted and have to finish of my engine.

Lots of plans for the comming year, ;D

Ez DKK barney , All I was getting at was You do not need to slame other people's cars. You dig?

Keep in mind, when you make a post or put pictures up, you open yourself to comments....good, bad or indifferent.  I'm not condoning it, but it's a fact.  You need to deal with it.   ;)

this is getting a bit like the Miaita thread  :D :D :D :D :D :D

what? gay?  :D

YES.








Like me  :D

One is, but then it's only a week old  ::)

My VW isn't, but I like it that way  ;D

how many cars have you seen in a car show  and thought to yourself "man, that guy really fucked that car up", about 80% i'm guessing. but you wouldn't say it out loud because the guy who just finished his "dream car" might hear you and beat your ass. you guys hiding behind your screen names talking shit on another guys car are nothing but a bunch of douche bag pussies driving your beat down cars, all jealous because this guy actually finished a car. something most of you will never come close to, just because you dont like it, doesn't mean somebody else wouldn't. like my buddy brent always says " there's an ass for every seat". some people dont want to build a car just like yours or what you like and want to try something different, sometimes it works, sometimes it dont, but every resto, stock or highly modified takes a TON of work and a lot of hours planning and doing the actual work. shut your fucking mouths and go finish your car, BITCHES

Wow... talk about hiding behind a screenname.   ;D  What's your name, and why are you taking such offense?  No offense intended, but you're only adding fuel to the fire, here, buddy.  I agree with your ideas, but not your delivery.  It's kind of ironic that you're so critical of people's opinions on another guy's car, but in the same breath you'll mudsling in a manner I'm guessing you'd NEVER deliver in person.

No car or thread is worth this kind of anger... except POS Hoodrides.  ;D

P.S. Edited later: forgot to mention my name is Ryan Bonham, and my comment about Hoodrides is mostly in jest.  Mostly.

my car is perfect. And i made it using only my teeth...

Byebye now.

Thank God for you, Mark!

Ya what he said, Girls play nice or I'm takeing the ball home!!!

Thank God for you, Mark!

Well I'd really like to know why Eric Groff is on this forum being a hemorhoid to Mark?

Whats with the beater ghia?

Kinda forgot I had that thing.

bugnut my name is randy long, live in orange co. ca. have for all my life, not hiding myself, im just a little tired of all these crying that thats not cal look, thats lame, thats not cool, and whatever else they bitch about. that shifter that everyone is now laying into took alot of work to design and build, and is probably somebodies dream shifter and wasnt advertised on this site but got cut and pasted to this forum so everybody here could ridicule as not being cal look, who said it was supposed to be, maybe it was designed specifically for a hoodride. a lot of people on this site are getting so high and mighty about how cool they and there cars are, that im about to say im over this site and go find one were the "cool vw guys" dont hang out

AMEN

you got me! Damn Steve, not nice.

It's a web forum........do you really let it get to you?   ::)

re-read that thread about the shifter dude......quite a lot of people have said they like it.

Steady, Ryan. I posted that piece about the shifter. I actually like it and feel that it is important for our scene to embrace new ideas, new technology. Ridicule it? Only if it served no function whatsoever. From my point of view, there is a need for a a new shifter in the marketplace. I'm not overly impressed with the current crop, especially those designed for a five-speed, so something new is very welcome in my opinion.

If you really want hard core slammin', go to the off-topic section of the UAC site. Now that's scary!  ;D  (No offence Brian...!)

I think the deal is that a few things (shifter and yellow car) got posted here, and they got ripped apart because honestly, both don't fit into the VERY narrow minded hobby that is cal look VW's. The yellow car is a far cry from what most come to expect to see on a "cal look" website....everybody wants to see cars dumped in front running BRMs and no bumpers, no chrome, big cc IDA motor. Me included. The shifter is a big step away from trends of past and present, it's pretty obvious that it is going to ignite some opinion.

You guys are too funny and although I am all for speaking ones mind, I can't help but sense a little narcissism which is kinda good to let out once in a while.

This then being a Cal Look forum that has been specifically set up by a group of selfless people in order to provide aspiring and actual owners of Cal Look Cars and guests alike, the portal to discuss their interest and passion, some of you girls need to take the panties out of your a$$ and get on with it.

Thing that most of you are forgetting is that "PERFECT" doesn't exist in reality and should be DELETED.

Peace through discussion.

Got me too first time and I was holding a hot cup of coffee while viewing! Sh!t...jumped up and started talkin' like Michael Jackson! :-[

I wouldn't let people's opinions get in your way. Everyone has one and besides(as you probably already noticed) some people just love the internet fame. :-\

Eeuhhh...Danny?You've got only one ball to take home? ;D

Ya , I got mono

   This is a very good subject for discussion. As picky as I am everyone who knows me I have never owned or will I have have a perfect car. Even the most expensive cars at Barrett Jackson are not perfect I could tell you some of the cars that I have looked at very close for the price they were asking and could not believe paint,panel fits,body work that I have seen on those cars. Even the brand new Rolls Royce ,Mercedes ,Ferrari have issues. I can go back and mentioned a few cars that I have judged in the past DKP as such and those cars impressed me more than Barrett Jackson auction cars. I have worked for To#¤ta for the last 31 years and to this day I see issues with To#¤tas and Lexus included probably because I am so anal and critical to find a perfect car my 2 cents.

  Thanks

I certainly understand where you're coming from, Randy, and this subject is kind of something that pervades the entire internet.  The Samba is a site that I try to post on as little as possible anymore, due to some of the 'internet personnas' that exist there.  I say 'internet personnas' because I've never met some of the people on there, whereas I have met a number of the folks that hang out here and on the Cal Look Forum, and they're all great people.

I definitely know where you're coming from, and the trick I guess is to try to not take internet posts and website stuff too seriously.  I know I've fallen into that trap too many times, and it ain't worth it.

Just as a clarification, Keith, you're responding to Randy, not me (Ryan).  Carry on! ;D

Oh, hell, old age strikes again...  >:(

niiiice !!!   ;D

VERY VERY well put dude - and don't worry I know exactly what you mean even about "new" cars - I ALWAYS notice how bad the "orange peel" is - new car paint is CRAP!  ::) :)
