Porsche Turbo vs VW Beetle - Top Gear - BBC

Just because you ...
Just because you have a huge stick up your ass doesn't mean it's not fun. It's meant to be entertaining and it is. If you're talking about the Evo that was shot up by the army, it was destroyed because it was seized from a drug dealer and was court ordered to be crushed. Getting chased down by HMAF is a much more interesting end.

I simply hate when ...
I simply hate when topgear producers come up with stupid ideas like this one. Few weeks ago i was watching them destroying a damn nice evo lancer 8. Are they fucking insane? Unfortunately , i'm among the few people that are against this type of "fun", while the majority simply ENJOYS this. Due to this , they'll continue this crap over and over again.

@dvamateur Ah, I prefer that super sport beetle that can do 260+. It's not quite as ugly as the other beetles, but it's not an alfa romeo either.

once again top gear trash a car that many viewers would like to own, but i guess is considered crap next to the latest offering from Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley,Range Rover etc etc. Dont watch the show any more myself since they all drove across Botswana. Funny how the Beetle did well there eh.

@mcgoo721 ha, I've never actually had one of those cars, so i probably shouldn't judge but i still don't think i would wanna drive a car that comes with a tampon in the glove box... Anyway, my opinion...

@vjaros1 You'd be ...
@vjaros1 You'd be surprised. The miata has the same stigma, but it's one of the most fun cars I've ever driven (my buddy's first gen track car). Girls like both cars. Actually, girls just care if your car is clean and maintained. They either don't know anything about cars, or if they're car girls they're usually insecure whores. At any rate, if you're relying on your car to get girls you are doing something very wrong haha
