Default Everything looks like something else...

The new MR2 looks like the Boxster.

The new beetle looks like the old beetle.

The new Z8 looks like a Jag.

The new S2000 looks like a Miata.

I think we are in good company. The new beetle has been praised for its unique looks.

Long live me and my skinny (squashed) beetle!

Default Frankly the Beetle is bold design but still a girls car...and "cute"...

while the TT is very bold and fresh yet...so far from being "cute".

Default Who cares what the ignoramuses think? Many times, criticism is the offspring of jealousy...

Let them enjoy driving their Kias and digging ditches.<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.jpg" border="0">

Default What does ignorance have to do w/ it? Most folks will compare it to something...

on one end they say it looks like a Porsche, on the other end, like a "squashed beetle." It's all good, my man. Don't get caught up in it. It's only a car, afterall.

Default Oh the agony...

Not to give ALL blondes a bad name, but yours truly was at the self-serve benzina machine this morning, when the lady with the Volvo 780 from across the gas plaza yells over, "is that one of the NEW Beetles?"

Generally not prone to yelling, I responded in a whisper, "umm, No". So she has to pass by on her way to pay, at which point I very politely, nay, patronizingly explain to her that she needs a front-end alignment, and I'm not talking about her car. She's not getting a whiff of this head play at all, poor lady.

But then on the way out, I couldn't resist the dagger, and as I roll past, I give her the thumbs up and mention how I really like her new car too. "It's a Hyundai, right?" ... "No?? Really looks like the new Hyundai, you shoud check it out."

The humor was so lost on her, now I feel bad for ruining her day because she thinks her bright and shiny Volvo looks like a car she doesn't much hear about at tea.<p><a href="http://www.tiac.net/users/cpopolo" target="_new"><img src="http://www.tiac.net/users/cpopolo/images/Cpanim.gif" alt="Carl"></a>

Default I don't use drugs, but your signature is a good, legal substitute.

Default Thnx Brad...

I haven't had any time to do a TT animation, and do we really need another Silver TTQ '00 signature? I say no. But when I get around to it, count on a full-length feature movie that will kill an average browser and feature the TT in a cameo role.<p><a href="http://www.tiac.net/users/cpopolo" target="_new"><img src="http://www.tiac.net/users/cpopolo/images/Cpanim.gif" alt="Carl"></a>

Default Re: Thnx Brad...

I agree with regard to the question of how many silver TT pics we really need. I think it is a lot more interesting to see what our fellow forum members look like, and to get a slice of their personal lives every now and then.

It was interesting seeing some of the pics from the NE rally. Unfortunately, names were generally not attached to the faces in the photos, making it difficult to tell who's who. From the looks of the "butt shot" (photo taken from behind), I could see why some of them might not want to be identified :-)<p><img src="http://home.san.rr.com/winefinds/1.jpg" border="0">
