Well I would have but it was a guy helping me stain my deck and I needed the job done haha. Scirrocs' are ugly fugly odd looking VW's that you rarely see and don't really look anything like a ti' I told him. He's like no it looks just like a Scirocco. I had to download a pic of the fugly VW to show him. He changed his mind after that. | | | 06-25-2008, 05:52 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Eugene Oregon Posts: 6,182 | hahaha ignorance! __________________ -Josh Sold-1995 318ti, Club Sport, Hellrot Sold-1996 318ti, Active Model, Boston Green Current- 1995 318ti, sport model, schwartz | | | 06-25-2008, 06:11 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: PA Posts: 822 | Quote: Originally Posted by Moose and I almost had to bitch slap the poor ignorant fool.

The ti looks similar to the corrado. The 16v scirocco was also faster than a 944 porsche at the time it was released. 0-60 in 8.1 seconds. Rieger makes a really clean looking kit for the scirocco and the black one is slammed with m-tech mirrors. __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

Though I've attempted to find one in decent shape in the past and did not have any luck. I found out the kid I sold mine to rolled it. I wanted to buy it back from him. __________________ Clever but we are clueless...

I'll get my girlfreind to bitch slap me later. she'll do better job...hehe. Yeah I guess he was trying to push my buttons and I reacted a bit over the top. I admit Scirrocos are not bad looking cars...just not a sharp as a ti' I guess. Last one I saw was a rusty rollin wreck all riced out and it left a bad taste. Teh guy was running a temporary spare in the rear and it was like 3 different colors Corrado's look more like the ti...your right | | | 06-25-2008, 07:44 PM | #8 | NOBODY F's with the Jesus Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: Ventura California Posts: 7,824 | I absolutely love Corrados, but they're even harder to find than Ti's. A couple weeks ago I saw one in the junkyard, almost brought a tear to my eye. roccos are nice too if done up right. In stock form, they're not very appealing. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 06-25-2008, 08:20 PM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Richmond Hill, GA Posts: 1,231 | somebody asked me if mine was a civic hatchback.............I walked away | | | 06-25-2008, 08:36 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 | Top this I'm at the gas station the other day, and the guy in front of my car is staring at the front end. I figure he was reading my license plate. Then he says," Is that an X5"? Where did he get that from? __________________ 1998 (July) 318ti, 5-spd OEM Armrest Blaupunkt Heidelberg CD50 CD Player/Compact Drive MP3 Player Diamond Audio 5.25" rear speakers Navman ICN 530 GPS BMWALARM.COM (with comfort settings) after market alarm system Magnecor 8.5mm wires M-Z3 Shifter/Momo Knob Burlwood Dashboard Stromung Exhaust X-brace Racing Dynamics Front Strut Bar Carbonio C.A.I. 17" Rial Rims Vader Seats/Heated/Lumbar Support M-tech Steering Wheel/Front Sway Bar/Front & Rear Bumper Depos/w 6500K Angel Eyes/6000K HIDs Clear Corners M3 Mirrors UUC Light Weight Flywheel/M5 Clutch/M3 Clutch Slave E28 3.46 LSD/Mcoupe Cover/E30 Flanges & Halfshafts UUC S.S.

WTFFFFF!" lol coraddo's are relatively easy to come by down here though, but Ti's are next to impossible. I almost bought a raddo a few years ago, but the g60 scared me, not a good motor to find parts for AT ALL... the charger is garbage. VRsex FTW. __________________ 11/97 Base 328Ti | | | 06-25-2008, 09:29 PM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | Quote: Originally Posted by Philly your nuts man... rocco's are AMAZZZZZZING! | werd...if they're in good shape they are old school bomb...like e28's.

I see Jettas and Golfs all day long. I actually had a Jetta. Got serious gas mileage. Most of my freinds look at my car and say what model BMW is that? Usually I say oh..this is the ultrarare ti. Can't get them anymore.
