ever come across the most annoying fanboy

[madness410]

got this friend talking to my friend talking crap about muscle cars, but all he thinks are good are volkswagens...

my friend anthony disses muscle cars every chance he gets but not to my face lol..and thinks his new volkswagen gti is the best thing out there. i dont rip on other peoples cars i would listen to their point first and then criticize from there...but hes just a fanboy for volkswagen and beleives they are the all around best car...power, gas milegage, everything. my friend gunther is also into muscle cars but doesnt own one..so he couldnt defend as well..

who else has ran into a fanboy like this


9:11pmAnthony: why does a car have to show off by being loud
imports use smaller engines that produce the same amount of power
and since the engines are smaller they get better gas mileage
rice beats muscle every time hot shot

9:18pmAnthony but all domestics are **** dude
why own a car from a company thats going down the ****ter
gti 1.8 t
thats all u dog



9:23pmGunther

9:24pmAnthony

9:26pmAnthony
a company about to go bankrupt but indiviudal cars what???
ratings dont lie
compare a ford to a german car
even honda beats out american cars (doesnt specify in what aspect at all)

ford motors are rated to last up to 200k miles while vw motors are rated to last up to 300k
ratings dont lie

9:27pmGunther

who else ran into a fanboy like this and how do you deal with them without punching them in a face or offering to rip their ass in a race?

[//<86TA>\\]

just let it go, you will both end up killing each other before somebody changes their mind.

I met sombody like that yesterday, but she was just stupid and annoying

[LTb1ow]

Can your car make it around the block?





:rofl::lol: Jk

Eh, LT1 guys get it all the time for the LS1 nuthuggers. Live with it.

[enRo]

Who ****ing cares, seriously?

[madness410]

yeah and the third genners get it from the lt1 circle jerk guys.

it can make it around the block and drive for like 20 minutes before i have to shut it off lol..and the reason why its not fixed yet is because i got fired before i could save enough to bring it to tmr lol

[madness410]

Who ****ing cares, seriously?

i do...

[Tsar]

Who ****ing cares, seriously?
This.


Do you like your car? that's all that matters.


Future advice: Don't argue with idiots, especially the once that say "always" or "all", they will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

[miketa95]

realistically there's no such thing as the best car since it has to do with personal preference. Thats one of the worst things about import people though, always trying to force their opinion on whats the best car on you.

[NJ346]

theres one way to settle this....

[NJ Torque]

**** his gf.

[4thGenJunkie]

i care its only cause the kids jealous he knows how muscle cars rip. dont get me wrong i have a VW and my camaro but its two complete different cars theres no way to compare them.

its ok though i got lm1's today so i can set his car alarm off all day just to piss him off

[madness410]

**** his gf.

he made her get a vw tat on her butt...thats how much of a fanboy he is

[4thGenJunkie]

thats just a target for when you **** her lol

[NastyEllEssWon]

send him my way. im bored and feel like wasting time

[01SS]

I am a VW mechanic. But as far as I am concerned they f'ing suck. Yea the diesel can do 200k plus easy and the same for the others if they are taken care of. However my 81 Camaro ran well over 350k. All these 4 cyl. dubs of equivelent year(to present) to my 01 SS run twice the rpms as my car at the same speeds. As far as same power...Gti 4cyl. turbo 200 HP. and I highly doubt at the wheel. And I dont get the why do you need a muscle car makin all that noise. Every gti i see has a huge ol' fart pipe. Plus the maintenence on VW is through the roof. 60k Timing belts are not cheap all the parts are ridiculous. Dont get me wrong now they can be quick and fun to drive but just not on the same level comparetively. Not without a ton of performance stuffs. I would own one if I could afford one but not at the sacrifice of my car. OOOHHH! I forgot German engineering.... SUX. Worse than my car as far as repairing stuffs. If you have a tran prob. forget rebuilding just save your pennies and buy a new one. We don't even tear into them VW doesnt like that. lol

[sweetbmxrider]

and this

look up book times on fixing a vw then go out to your driver with a socket set and some open ended wrenches and fix your car.

then send him pics of you and the vdub butt tat.

then drink some bud and burn some rubber.

then post pics :D

honestly vdubs are slick cars but they are a funk show to work on. vdubs and audi's are cars i'd love to drive but to fix or maitain, i'd rather **** myself.

you could always ask him for hard evidence or just say, "Who you tryin to convince, you or me?" that should shut em up.

[wretched73]

My buddy has a 2000 vw jetta 2.0, i just recently got done helping him along with a 1.8t swap.... Dear baby jesus was that a wiring mess, the poor soul other friend of ours had to cut and splice the wiring harness where it came into the car than a bunch of other random plugs because they use different connectors for the most stupid ****, (and yes it was the correct wiring harness vw just decided to be dicks about it and use different connectors)

plus vw seems to be hit or miss, i know 5 people that are vw freaks, 2 have all the problems in the world, 1 is trying to make his a race car, 1 was the kid who did the 1.8t swap (its still doesnt run surprise surprise), and the last kid just masturbates to it all day

then i proceed to get all this **** because for half the money and an eighth of the labor, i could have a car that could smoke them all on the 1/4 mile :shrug:

[DevilDougWS6]

msot all import owners like that are in denial. they jsut dont want to admit they spent a lot of money on a car that sucks, instead they try to make other people think its the best thing on earth, so that THEY go out and buy one so the person in denial doesnt feel so bad about dropping cash on a POS.




tell him my car gets 26mpg, and makes 380rwhp.


oh and send him this picture too:

[sweetbmxrider]

nice doug

[BigAls87Z28]

Ask him to produce docs for STFU.
VW's post mid to low on the problems per vehicle rating, which is the grail of quality. Buick and Jag have tied for first, Lexus now has dropped to 2nd.
Like Adam said, VW's and Audi's are very nice cars. They feel solid, the interior design and materials are very nice and usually are at the top of thier field...but problems after problems, and fixing them usually isnt as easy as compared to a comperable American or Japanese car.
They also tend to be much more complicated. Where a car like the Civic or Cobalt might have just a strut with a lower control arm with one ball joint, the Jetta will have two lower control arms, both with ball joints. then there will be the sway bar link that is tied into the control arm with a ball joint. Then the tie rod itself...ugh, its a mess of parts that WILL need to be replaced.
Just..very complicated stuff.

[DevilDougWS6]

you had to count on Al to come in with real statistics....just let Al talk to him and bore the kid to death

[madness410]

nah al is helpful lol...hes on point with that info, most of which i will relate back to this kid

[vipergtx500]

I personally hate the GTI more than any other car in the world, for the sole reason that almost every person I've met who owns one thinks they are the greatest cars in the world and HATE all American cars. I personally think their hideous looking, and I don't know how he can say their producing the same amount of power as American cars with their 200hp?. Then they complain that no shop will change their oil, probably because of the "sophisticated" German engineering...its to the point where i get frustrated just seeing one lol

[jims69camaro]

when he says VW is top three in the world and top ten for years, ask him where he got his information. if he wiggles, nail his ass to the wall. not even VW's own magazines would say such lies. then go to consumer's reports and show him how bad they really are.

during bench racing, sometimes some unreal statements get made. but for someone to claim they are top 3 world and top ten for years... i mean, come on... honduh can't even say that (oh, wait, yes they can...)

[4thGenJunkie]

a lot of my friends have GTIs or some kind of VW and none of em ever rip on my car accept that they go around corners better than i do which is true but for the most part they are scared of it haha

Almighty Google disagrees with you. VW has been in top 3 according to their charts since 2007 (4th in '06). And this year in Q1 it's suppose to over take Toyota as the best selling auto maker.

[Masonite]

this "top 3" thing confuses me... top 3 WHAT? top in safety? power? sales? reliability? cost? kangaroos? cup holders?

there are so many variables. i don't understand how a car company could claim they're the top of anything without specifying what it is that puts them there above all others.

Without specific reference it usually means sales. At least in business situations that I have encountered. If soemthing else is meant they will specify.

[TheBandit]

It's easy.. wait until you fix your car, tell him you want to race and whoop his ass. That'll show him. And you can still do his GF for ****s and giggles.

[Mike]

you can be pro domestic, and pro gm all you want. but please stop comparing a 20+ year old third gen to NEW cars. you might win in a drag race, but everything else about ANY other car will be nicer, thats the point of 20 years of progress and technology.

if you argue against a NEW vw, and your argument is your iroc, you are a bigger fanboi then them

[CHRIS67]

Invite him to come to the F-body show in August. Maybe you can go to a VW water show and see how the other half lives. Each car has it's positives and negitives. 8-)

[WildBillyT]

1.) Ask him how many VW's go for hundreds of thousands of dollars when they become classics

2.) Ask him to go powershift a Jetta, and see how it reacts.

3.) Ask him about VW's racing heritage. And ask him why actual German people think that they are low performance bitches compared to Porsche, BMW, and MB.

4.) Remind him that his engine DOESN'T make the same amount of power as a larger American motor.

5.) Ask him to compare his R32's engine with GM's DI V6 and compare the two


Everybody I know who has owned a VW has been adamant about never owning another one. And that's around 10 people.

[HeadlessNorseman]

Just tell him VW hasnt made a car worth owning in the last 20 years. see what that makes him say. I dont know how you can argue for vw when their top of the line sports car makes 200hp and is fwd

Edit: and yes the recent concensus is that their is virtually nothing different about modern japanese cars than modern american cars. I am a fan of toyota, but only because of cars like the mk3 supra and mr2. I think the original root cause of the "american cars are junk" thing came from cars like the cavalier, escort, and the K cars. The caddys, corvettes, mustangs, crown vics, impalas, all the fullsize cars in general have always been well built since the beginning. they can stfu!

[madness410]

[WildBillyT]

hahah yeah exactly bill.

Without getting too political:

I'm not really trying to be a dick, either. I'm not a flag-waving THEY TOOK OUR JERRRRBBSSS type of guy. I just try and buy American as much as I can because I have an general understanding (albeit a bit basic) of how our economy works and where the money goes. That's not to say I like fostering business behaviors like we have seen over the past decade or so...

See opinions are like ********, everyone has one. While you might think Chevy Cavalier is the greatest piece of technology - I think GM only makes two good cars (and by that I mean cars that appeal to me). That would be CTS(V) and the Vette. VW makes the CC (pretty nice looking car), Passat is decent daily beater too. Then we can move on to Audi TT(S), Audi S5, Rs4, R8. Strange, that's a lot more than two. See that's why it's called an opinion, and why your comment of "vw hasn't made a good car in the last 20 years" is pretty useless and idiotic.

Last time I checked R8 had a V10 and was not FWD. Did I look at the wrong sticker?

Not sure how far we can go with that. Example:

In 1998, Lamborghini became a subsidiary of the German car manufacturer Audi AG, which is in turn a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, which is in turn a subsidiary of Porsche.

So using transitivity, that makes a Lambo a Porsche. Huh?

If you want to exclude everything that VW owns than we should limit GM to just Chevy, or maybe Saturn... you pick. :shrug:

Volkswagen -- with its nine brands including Audi, Skoda, Seat and truckmaker Scania -- aimed to surpass Toyota and General Motors as the world's No.1 seller by 2018

Yeah, that was my issue. As far as who owns the company they are the same, but just because they are made by the same parent company that doesn't mean that the actual vehicles have a lot in common. Drive that CTS-V and then drive an Aveo. Or a Buick. They are both made by GM but have nothing in common except for probably some emblem glue. As far as technology sharing, if VW is owned by Porsche then who's to say that the RWD/AWD/TT stuff didn't go from Porsche straight to Audi?

I was saying that cars like the cavalier/escort arent worth owning either. And no i was not referring to audi. The guy is saying VW is the greatest manufacturer, not audi, porsche, and vw and everything they own. I never compared them to GM and all the brands they own. I was referring to the fact that they, VW, have not made any kind of sports car, or in general a car worth going out of your way to own(not worth owning), not a car you buy because you need it or because its a good car. And yes i am aware some people may not like my opinions, thats why i dont tout them off as facts

I know what you are trying to say, and I pretty much agree. They are a whole different animal car wise, but they are still part of the VW. People here are trying to compare ENTIRE GM line up vs purely VW line up. Well VW is more than just VW cars. They own other "companies" just like GM does. So I do not think it's fair to compare GM to VW line up. It's either GM vs VW group, or Chevy/Saturn/Caddy etc vs VW line up. Maybe it's just me but that seems fair.

Porsche owns 35% of VW, although they are a major power when it comes to voting they are not the owner. :shrug:

[Blacdout96]

Porsche and Audi have been going hand in hand with development for decades. They were the builders of the 917/30 can am cars back in the 70's that developed as much as 1100-1200hp.

As for Porsche owning 35%, isnt it odd that Porsche pulled out of Le Mans (1998) and Audi picked up where Porsche left off?

anyway, To me Volkwagen is a compny that can be comparable to Saturns. they arent uber expensive, aimed at a younger, or economic caring person. I too have heard that VW is a pick n choose kind of car, you might get a good one, or you'll get one with a lot of issues. To say though that VW is superiour to all of anything considered american, let alone a muscle car is absolutely absurd, but whatever, if thats what allows him to sleep at night, let him think that.

[sweetbmxrider]

show me a german pickup truck besides that lambo truck. thats what a workin americana man needs! a pickumup truck :wink:

[4thGenJunkie]

VW made a truck but it sucked major monkey nuts what they need is a good ol Silverado 3500 i think that would just straight crush every vw

[BigAls87Z28]

Yes, you can sure find some really great cars in VW AG's line up.
But the brand VW doesnt have a whole bunch. The CC is nice, the GTI is cool, but the rest of the cars are just nice cars, tend to be pricy and are a pita to work on.
Now, expand out of VW brand and into Audi, and I cant find a car I WOULDNT want.
Lambo, Bugatti and Porsche are pretty exclusive brands, where only the Bugatti shares any noticable parts from the mother ship, the W16 quad turbo engine. Everything else is pretty much left off.

3 years ago, GM owned a large chunk of Fiat, which owns Alfa and Ferrari. Not to mention a controling interset in Fuji Heavy Industries which owns Subaru.

VW is a german brand, and like everything German they execute things well. Its the way and how they do it thas the problem. Usually with 3x more stuff, 2x more complicated, and 5x likely to break down.

And thats how this..

http://www.normandybattlefields.com/mapphotos/25-tiger_tank.jpg


At least quality wise...
Now im not going to say that the Cobalt is a better car then the Golf, no way. But the Astra, at least the REAL Euro one, is. The one we get/got was a bit neuterd and stripped of a the fun things.

[BigAls87Z28]

Also, Im sure that if we wanted to really get into GM's whole world line up, with all its brands, we can sure find a decent amount of cars your average man would want.

i think thats by far the best post ever..... therefore ending all sensible argument that anyone could have for VW

[jims69camaro]

well, i stand corrected. google FTW, and VW to outsell toyoda? doubtful. the oyabun will be up all night coming up with ways to solve that problem. if only we could get the big 3 (2 1/2?) back to pwning all. again, doubtful. but that doesn't mean they make shi++y cars, either. i would hop into any american car before i would be caught dead in a VW. even a cavalier (does the corsica count? 4 door cavalier...)

and add one to the list of previous VW owners that will never own another one in this lifetime or the next.

[01SS]

show me a german pickup truck besides that lambo truck. thats what a workin americana man needs! a pickumup truck :wink:

VW did make a pickup. It is actually a unibody rabbit with a bed. Kinda the equivalent to an el camino without v-8 power. Our parts truck is one with an old gti motor shoved in it. POS truck

[BigAls87Z28]

Thats a sad ass parts truck...
VW is actually currently getting a new Unibody truck ready, like the Ridgeline. There are shots of it on the Ring recently.

[CamaroJoe1987]

look, your friend is just being ignorant, he is just tryin to bust your balls to see wat kind of reaction he can get out of you, ppl have done it to me, all you gotta do is shrug it off like nothing and just tell him, "look man, keep sayin what you want, your OPINION isnt going to affect mine and i have heard worse **** out of better ppl, It's wat i prefer in a car, and a vw is obviously wat you porefer, its a stupid topic that you should learn to drop."

p.s.- the part where you say "ive heard worse **** by better ppl" will really get him after you give it time to sink in

I've been around enough VW's to know they're flaming pieces of crap....you couldn't pay me to own one. Frequent trips to the dealer for off the wall electrical gremlins...no thanks.

It seems like they're hit or miss....mainly miss with the people I know. I worked with 4 of these fanboi's....every one seemed like your friend...VW rocks...everything else is crap....every single one tried gunning for the 'vette with their "crazy modded" Vdubs. It's a shame none of the 4 stayed together long enough to prove how much power those mods gave them. EVERY one had issues. Now granted, they could've been hack job mods but still. Even my friend's stock '03 Jetta was been in the dealer 4 separate times for electrical issues, 50K miles and 4 trips for warranty work...no thanks. My lawyer's Passat has 175K trouble free(for the most part) miles on it. The workers must have been paying attention the day that one was built, lol.

I guess since it's German it must be a great car or something...I'm still failing to see what's so great about them. I love the new Audi's but I'd be scared to own one unless I had a warranty that covered everything.

My lawyer's Passat has 175K trouble free(for the most part) miles on it. The workers must have been paying attention the day that one was built, lol.

I guess since it's German it must be a great car or something...I'm still failing to see what's so great about them. I love the new Audi's but I'd be scared to own one unless I had a warranty that covered everything.
You say that like GM cars, or American cars in general don't ever break down. :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

you speak like its from experience :shrug:

:confused: Where did I say American cars don't break down anywhere in that post? The thread was about how the OP's friend(s) thinking that VW's are God's gift to the auto industry. I threw my opinion in saying that I think they're huge pieces of crap(I didn't even get into how much of a mess they are after an accident).

[LTb1ow]

Saturn FTW, runs great, gets 20mpg, even after running for ~100 miles with no oil. Beat that VW.

There's no need to get your panties all twisted up. I simply pointed out that your argument was one sided, in turn fanboy like - only for the other side.

On a totally unrelated, to you, note I find it funny how few months ago we had a thread about GM, and how they "sucked" - well their quality. And people were saying how they have changed from the past and now their quality if top notch, and they should be given another chance. Ahh, bias - gotta love it :lol:

THE ONLY VW I WOULD OWN!!!!

My panties aren't in a bunch, I just had no idea where you were coming from. I didn't even mention GM or any other domestic company so I wasn't being a fanboy...I was merely pointing out that I think VW's are pieces of crap...which ironically was on topic. :D. I didn't know that if I attack one car company I must also mention a GM product....I didn't get that memo. :moon::mrgreen:8-)

Just tell him VW hasnt made a car worth owning in the last 20 years. see what that makes him say. I dont know how you can argue for vw when their top of the line sports car makes 200hp and is fwd!

The R32 has the 6 cyl in it which I think is 280 HP and is 4 wheel drive.At least a few yrs ago they where like the 04. We only had 1 new one in 08 that I saw and I hadnt paid attention to whether it was AWD or not. Plus the 08 does not come in stick beacause the DSG(? i think) trans. shifts quicker than a human can. I have test driven the GTI a little hard to see how well it is and its almost instant, I mean like no rpm drop between shifts. This is all just for the sake of attempted accuracy. I still prefer my SS with a trans that can be rebuilt, and not have to buy a new one at the first signs of trauma like the vw's.

[LTb1ow]

The deaths of 11 million people go hand in hand with VW. VW = teh lose.

Props to Al

VW is a german brand, and like everything German they execute things well. .

yeah ive heard about that trans, not 100% sure if its called a DSG. but i hear its the fastest shifting auto trans. according to google a new r32 will run you 33k. i dont know about anyone else but id rather spend the extra 5k or so get a new camaro, or use the 33k and buy a sweet used vette.

[NastyEllEssWon]

22k gets you a 50k miled c5 z06 :wink:

[Syzygy]

i personally know 4 people who after owning a VW would never buy one again, these new VWs are good for nothing other than of course smelling like crayolas inside (im serious).

however, i personally love the old beetles, those were bulletproof, you could find one at the bottom of a lake, turn the key, and drive off*....all 40hp of it.

*(that was a bit of an exaggeration, dont rip me apart please!)

The same logic can be applied to people who drive Mitsubishis.

[LTb1ow]

That also came up.

[jims69camaro]

and hyundais.

but, since this was about fanboi-ish people and the VW, i didn't send the thread that way on purpose (or avoided it on purpose). approximately the same number of people were killed in pearl harbor that were killed in the world trade center, and you saw how riled up people got, albeit for six months, after the trade centers fell. imagine how people felt when we were actually attacked on our own land by the enemy - that's how people felt 50+ years ago. yet i see the old geezers putting around in their honduhs and hyunduhs as much as anything American. i know their memories can't be that bad, even with widespread Alzheimer's (notice that is, also, german).

expect to drive an Afghani car in 2050...

[Tsar]

Are people serious turning this into a WWII thread? :rofl:

[7pointoh]

Well, I've met a lot of fanboys and I just brush them off. Because if they get no reaction from me, then they feel it's not worth their time to explain it.

But to Shownomercy, SweetBMXrider, and Transmaro93. You guys are like the voltron of LT1 fanboys. It's okay when separate. But when the LT1 is brought up, they combine to form the perfect LT1 fanboy....Nah you, guys are cool.

You do not make good threads. I just make them good. :nod:

And thats why by and large the Chinese population refuse to drive anything from across the water. Rape and pillage sure can stick with certain people.

We can turn it into a Cold War thread. Look how well eastern block/russian cars do here......ohhhhhh yeah.

[CamaroJoe1987]

quick question...how did this go from an annoying fanboy to transformers? lol

[sweetbmxrider]

that tends to happen....

[98tadriver]

he made her get a vw tat on her butt...thats how much of a fanboy he is

and that just goes to show how bright she is lol

but then again, we dont like em for their minds :lol:

[Tsar]

If you think I would defend a Russian car maker, you're delusional :lol: They are among the ****ties cars Ive ever seen, I would go as far as to say I would rather drive an Aztec.. Yesterday my gf and I were bored so we decided to price out a Russian car, while I was reading some specs for some "sport" model that had 81 horsepower I noticed that it included seatbelts in standard equipment list :lol:

I wonder if some of them don't have that feature..

[BigAls87Z28]

You should search the Top Gear show they did about Russian cars. They were talking about Chinese cars showing up soon, and asking if Communisim ever produced a good car? So they took a bunch of Soviet Era Russian cars and wow....
Four wheel aluminum drum brakes FTL...But the sheet metal was similar to the armor on a T-72.
