one day last year i was driving in southern indiana and i saw a 99-01 he was following me i think it was LGM or something like that? it's the color fsttyms1 has. and i finally stop at a red light, the guy pulls up next to me and rolls the window down, he's like 50 years old too, and asks, "where'd you git dem pipes?" (referring to my exhaust). i started laughing. the end

Old lady cars are the epitome of great buys. Even if the paint is off a bit they are insane about maintenance. The midlife or older woman is the best caretaker of a car you can find, if they have the right mindset. They are organized and usually have all the car's records.

stick up the ass much?

and yes, it is very common.
i've seen the Type S loaded with kit and spoiler many times with older men/women driving them..

that made me realize i drove a car most people wouldnt take a second look at normally.
it gives you a sense of pride.

lol no butt getting excited over common cars and telling so on the internet isnt that exciting.....
its actually an everyday occurrence....
he could have waved to her,signaling that her car is awesome too! but he saw that it was an older lady and didnt think she would appreciate her car.

I'm sure she knows her car is different with the lip kit, and would appreciate the honks, the thumbs up, the waves just like we do.

there are so many stock tl's around here in my city.. all of them are middle to old aged people. i'm the only modded tl in my city =/ .. i wish i've seen more.

but yeah .. i see old men and women driving pretty clean 2g's with either the spoiler or oem lip kit. They know how to maintain.

Exactly true. My mom's Passat gets detailed by a professional detailer every 4 months, second Friday of the month. Any little noise or maintenance light is taken care of that day. Oil is changed within 50 miles of scheduled mileage. I'm starting to think that that car will outlive me.

Yesterday night, I was driving from North Carolina to Jersey. Was following a 99-01 with lip kit and spoiler. Car wasn't dropped but I think had some aftermarket rims. I followed it for about 2-3 hours. (Might as well follow, keeps me awake for that 10 hour drive). I had to get gas so I stopped following.
