Risus, it wasn't funny at the time but it is now. My Dad bought an Audi when they first came out and lost the engine to the road twice.
Think he was happy?
I laughed because he loved expensive cars.
Two of my cousins bought Audis, and they both were in the shop more than my Chevy. They both actually switched over to SAAB.

So it is rather a problem with the purchase price and not really with design, comfort, driving safety and so on.

Btw Just wanted to remind you, that I would greatly appreciate it, if you could fill yout the survey on german cars: survey.npage.de

Once it will be finished I could post the outcome if there should be any interest in that. But for that of course I need nice, friendly Canadians ;) helping me

I filled out your survey. and I agree that the price is prohibitive otherwise i would drive an import.

Germans car makers used Jews to make their cars in world war two and when it was time to pay them they were sent to the concentration camps to be exterminated in the final solution.

I heard that the Jews were used as crash test subjects in cars to test their safety this I cannot confirm just heard it.

I also heard that modern day German carmakers do not employ Jews in their car and truck plants Germancars can you find out why?

I also heard that the German carmakers were able to use technologies developed in the killing machines more efficiently in the concentration camps in their car making processes after the war.

These technologies were not supposed to be used but some how they got out into the public arena.

First car I ever owned was an old, used, VW; no heat, little window in the rear, 6V system sucked, but it was a car and I had it for 2 years......................And, traded it for a Karmann Ghia, (little VW sports car), which I traded for a tree and a cedar rail fence. First the tree, (car-roaming shot :roll:), then the fence.

Hated the bug, loved the Ghia. Bought another Ghia, new, and we drove it for about 5 years. Popped our two kids in that little back seat, belted them in and toured the country in it, tent on the top, and camping gear on everyone's lap. Wonderful car. Finally it literally rusted away.

Said goodbye to VW and went to water-cooled, and heat. Better idea!!

About that time, I almost bought a really old, raced, Porche; but didn't want the promised divorce, so bought a canoe instead.............go figure. Better idea.

:cool:

G'Day Nugg,

I always thought the Bug was a great little car like the Mini. It was water cooled but you still needed a scraper for the inside of the windshield and a 6V Dunlop battery as well as an engine crank.
Just don't make them that way anymore.

@ Liberalman: VW employed prisoners of war and of concentration camps, as they needed them to work on cars that the Nazis needed for war. They even built a special KZ in which the captives had to produce these cars.

I heard that the Jews were used as crash test subjects in cars to test their safety this I cannot confirm just heard it.

I also heard that modern day German carmakers do not employ Jews in their car and truck plants Germancars can you find out why?

I also heard that the German carmakers were able to use technologies developed in the killing machines more efficiently in the concentration camps in their car making processes after the war.

These technologies were not supposed to be used but some how they got out into the public arena.


as to these last statements I do not have any clue about them, but I cannot imagine that these enterprises are in any way still anti-semitic!


@all who filled out the survey: thank you very much for your help

@all who have not yet: please help me ;) survey: survey.npage.de

So did I.
Didn' know he was a danger, though.

Remember that we can see things that the regular membership can't.;-)

Needless to say if he had remained here he would have posted far worse things than inane jokes.
