Yea I've gone to drag nights for the last few years. I grew up on watercooled's..my dad was a mechanic and mostly worked at the vw/ audi dealerships. We mostly had mk 2's-3's though... I've had a few...3 scirocco 16v's , a corrado slc vr6, passat vr6 5 spd wagon, jetta coupe.. numerous cabrios, a caddy and two 92 big bumper jetta's 1 was a diesel... Still have alot of 16v and scirooco parts we need to get rid of.. even have an alpine white scirocco w/black leather that needs to go.
I'm not a huge fan of the vortex or the stance guy's although I do like some of the cars.
The camber "tuck" is inherent with a swing axle car. No way around it (almost)
As far as the "rust" thing it's kinda hard to explain... My 56 is a patina ride although mines not fake. I cant stand people trying to make them look distressed but to see a car literally pulled from a junkyard and be put back on the road no matter how "nice" it is is pretty cool... and that goes for any brand... no-one would walk past a 56 bel air in the junk yard and it's the same way with a vw for me
I had a sand rail last year that was fun while it lasted before i parted it out... 2180 stroker w/dual 44's (going in my 59). I know entirely WAAAY to much about the early bugs and busses. My brother bought my 61 double cab from me... I'm trying to stick to type 1's.
