Or a BMW... lol seems like all eastern pussy wants you to roll up in either a BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Volkswagen. Subarus are accepted but only if you live near a Polish neighborhood like belmont / central - - my area! LOL theres a wrx/sti on every corner.
I happen to be part of the few polaks that dont drive german cars, instead old ass 240!

| If you want to get a license in Europe, you have to go to driving school where they also teach you how to drive a manual. And once people know how to drive a manual, no one wants an automatic. I bet if everyone in the America knew how to drive a stick, most people would prefer manual cars, and that's what automakers would give them. |

| lol Its because of women that stick is going away. We have to give what the pussy wants in order to get pussy. They complain about not being able to drive our cars because they don't know how. Then when you try to teach them, they don't want to learn. They say its to hard. Because of that, most guys buy autos just so they don't have to deal with the bitching and moaning.lol imo. lol i know im late on this shit. i apologize. |

| Look you never said you bought an auto because of a girl. Im just stating something without direction towards anyone(here at least). What i mean is if you let a girl decide whether you get a man or auto thats fucking lame. But there are some bad ass cars that are only auto. GTR for instance. I drool over that shit every time i see one. Or what about the AMG lineup all those cars are auto and they haul ass. My main point is buy a car cuz you like it and not because its "convenient" or because of some girl. |
