They are just ashamed of themselves that they cant do it, they get there daddys car have someone paint it and put tires on it and think look what I did wrong look what someone else did for you. I could go on but its like talking to my 2 year old.
You just opened a whole can of worms that you probably shouldn't have...

While looking at the restore pics I found this one for you Frank...and Corey.

2 cars, nose to nose? That's gotta be a pro garage. Someone probably paid that dude to resto that Jetta, which is even bigger weaksauce than restoring it yourself. No pride AND no ROI.

And yeah, Bentleys are the worst cars ever. A worked Civic could easily run one. Morons buy those.

Something only has as much value as you attach to it. So you don't value Jettas. Fine. That doesn't mean it's stupid to restore one.

its pointless to argue with them...they drive domestic v8's..everything else is worthless..

bottom line: you dont fucking restore a car for money..you do it to call it your own...to show your work...if i built that i wouldnt care about what people on the internet had to say about it bc i guarenfuckingtee you that you could not build something like that...

I'm saying it doesn't look like this guy restored this car on his own. Where else do you see cars parked nose to nose other than in a professional garage? Who would really nose to nose a beater Jetter next to a '69 Camaro? That man took that car to a shop, paid money to let someone else do the work, and now he's acting like it's the tits.
