Re: [VWdrivers] Golf 4 headlight fitting?

["geoffrey elliott" <geo@cybersnot.com>]

I get this all the time with my '98 GLX.  I had a '98 GT (same from
the outside except for the Vr6 and the wheels) before it got wrecked
and NOBODY paid attention.  It is definitely the Vr6 badge that is
getting the attention.  A couple of times I've overheard the conversation
and it usually goes something like:

"Hey, see that Jetta?"
"Yeah, so.  Jetta's suck."
"Yeah, but dude, that one has that engine in it."
"Huh?  Oh.  Vr6.  What's that mean?"
"It's really fast."

Mebbe instead of new headlights and such I should just paint
a big racing style "VR6" on my car.  Then it will probably be
really really fast.  8)
