daily dwayne’s wish

i want a hatchback with 4 doors and all wheel drive

not sold on the Audi A3 3.2 either…wish VW would release a 4motion GTi (or an R32 w/ 4 doors)

suggestions?

not so sure i want a full on wagon, but it might be my only choice (WRX, A4, S4)…discuss, please

New (wishful) Addition to the Daily Dwayne Garage: Audi S5



Audi S5, originally uploaded by jalopnik.

today’s a car day at daily dwayne…

eff that mustang…granted this is essentially a two door S4, but still…it’s the heat.

if you know my gmail address, feel free to paypal me some donations, just mark it: “Dwayne’s S5 Fund”

Hahaha new GTI commercials

these are definitely worth a watch…vw’s marketing has been great over the years…normally a bit obscure, they’ve changed directions and have gone completely in your face and over the top….they’re funny stuff. I’m digging the “un-pimp your ride” ones a little more than the creepy “FAST” ones, but either way they’re funny.

here’s a link for more

I was hoping that I would never have to sell the R32, but…


The new Golf R32 – New edition of the most powerful Golf ever [Dubspeed Driven]

VWVortex.com is reporting it as well

maybe it’s time to sell it? the new body style isn’t out in the US yet, and apparently, there’s a new R32 in the works. …and i’ll take the beating, but i LOVE the new body style.

i could sell my R right now, still get back a decent chunk of change as it hasn’t really depreciated at all. pick up an old audi A4 or WRX or something for $10-15k and chill til the Mk5 R32 is unleashed…hmmm, i’m SERIOUSLY thinking about this.

in the name of the father, the golf and the holy crap..vw’s marketers rock

I saw this ad a few days ago on VWVortex, and I’m sure you all know about the Pope’s VW Golf selling for $244K…it just cracks me up everytime i see it:

Everyone has their opinions of VWs, and everyone who reads probably knows how much I love them…but I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone who disagrees that their marketing is top notch. Although I wonder if there’s some irate Catholic group flooding their offices with “You’re a bunch of pagan heretics” hate mail.

dubbers doin’ good

got this from the mecca that is VWVortex, a dude from the capital area is planning a cross country road trip for charity.

SAMMICHES cross country trip – cancer benefit

A lot of you may not know this, but my Father is Terminal with a rare form of Stomach Cancer. I have decided to make my X-country into a Cancer Research Fund raiser. LISTEN CAREFULLY! 100% of the proceeds will go directly to The American Cancer Society to fund Cancer Research.

amazing..the guy’s dad is dying of cancer, and he’s taking the opportunity to raise awareness and some cash for the cause. good job man.

the shirts are pretty cool too, grab one…support the cause
