So my boss has been braggin about his turbo beatle to me for weeks now, saying how fast it is, and that the turbo 'really kicks in at 3000 rpm' blah blah blah.... anyway. I've tried telling him about the SRT and how it would smoke his little beatle, but it doesn't seem to sink in. I offered to race him on the runway at work (I'm a flight instructor), but he wouldn't have any of it.... he's also 300+ pounds and I'm only 180 so it would be a ridiculous slaughter.
I got a chance to drive his beatle just the other day, he needed it moved to a different airport. I thought I'd leave a little masculinity behind in order to see how it really was. Handling was ok, but power? HA!! My GF's Lance Ralliart could keep up with it. Just thought I'd vent!

 

vent away my friend

 

Try a little experimantal fun....[sm=devilangel.gif] If you have a Stage 2 with toys, Keep the dial at 0 and go for a stop sign-to-stop sign run (or whatever little strip). If you SMOKE'EM[sm=gears.gif][sm=burnout.gif], you can really Vent on how low ya boost setting was in compare to what could've been[sm=badbadbad.gif][sm=Flahssssss.gif][sm=Flahssssss.gif][sm=Flahssssss.gif]

a bettle isn't fast, that's just a contradiction. tell him he drives a chick car so it can't be fast.

 

LOL[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

It is no faster than any other 1.8t. I wonder who he is racing that makes him think he's so quick. Anyway, it feels good to know more than your boss, right?

Tell him you'll wager a week's pay that you will roast him.

 

I drove one once....I felt like I was in a Hampster Ball running around the floor....and that damned flower....[sm=wtf.gif]

Hes a sad situation of a human. Race him for like burgers or something. Tell him if he wins you buy, and if you win you buy. Just to embarass the hell out of him, then watch him eat himself silly out of anger/humiliation and frustration.

 

hahahahahahahaha... [sm=funnypostabove.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

Now that was funny - I really like the sick/dry humor there, LilSparkPlug.[sm=icon_rofl.gif][sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

lol, good one

 

Funny thing is, he says it's his 'wife's' car! I like that about the hamster ball.... it fits. HAHA.
