No, it has to be a nice controlled landing. They must realize the depth of their wrongness while they wait for the long dark.

... or controlled landings.

Just don’t include any provision for a return trip.

Poor thing. Let me star you. (Someone else did already, but that’s the spirit)

This is correct usage of the internet and car ownership in particular.

Clearly you don’t “get it” when it comes to cars and the reasons that people love them if you can’t appreciate the rarity and the unique nature of these cars.

Yes on the surface it’s an underpowered 4 door golf with a weird paint job, but to me as a VW Enthusiast it’s one of the most polarizing and unique cars you…

and its a rust-free and straight (hopefully) california car. not sure itd be that easy to find a 95 golf back east without major rust, then do a complete teardown and 4 color respray for a couple thou. and even then it wouldnt be an original.

This guy gets to post and I haven’t been approved after 6+ years

...and that part of you needs to keep its comments to itself if it doesn’t have anything nice to say.

I’m not a VW fan by any means, but I loved reading this. There’s nothing quite like a good car story, I think anybody with a love for cars can appreciate this noble quest. And seeing the car community come together to help this guy out is rad.

Maybe for you or me, but this guy appears to be doing something car-related that he loves. Let’s applaud him and wish him a safe trip home.

ty for letting us know that you missed the entire point of this website

It’s a unique special edition car. Plenty of other marques have special edition stuff that’s nothing more than a sticker package or appearance mods.

“A quick trip to paint and body shop”
umm, that’s not a thing. haha a quality paint job in 4 colors would be more than he spent on this entire trip, and that wouldn’t include having to buy an entire car as well.

Exactly. As a car person you should be able to understand that there are different people and it’s cool to see any of these groups have something cool like this happen. I’m a Toyota guy but I still love how this Harlequin is being saved in the same way that I hope people understand why I want a Toyota Century. Non-car…

And.... your wrong.... That’s like saying a ‘55 Mercury with Factory A/C isn’t cool because you can take any ‘55 Mercury and add it fro Vintage Air. There’s only a few hundred of these cars. As a maybe car person you should understand that your “so what” *aka I can’t even take the time to understand why someone else…

They really don’t understand that in this day and age, this is going to come back and bite them in the ass.

This is probably the best use of that joke, ever.
