With that rollcage in the back, can anyone even get into the backseats? If not, why bother putting sparco's back there?

New GT3 or that Jetta...hrm really tough choice.

It has to be seriously slowed down from the weight of all those godawful logos.

I read that the owner, Frankie Muniz, plans on dedicating at least the next two years to racing cars full-time; starting this season he'll race for the Jensen Motorsport team in Formula BMW competition. He is scheduled to race at Mont Tremblant this summer.

LOL! That's funny. People grabbing art work from p-car.com, don't worry about it, use it all you want. I was just a little surprised to see the p-car.com art work being used.

lol.... we need someone with a ton of money (like Jay Leno) to buy that car and put it in some sort of charity demolition (every person pays $50 to hit it with a sledge hammer)... and all profits go to charity 'x' ...now that would be fun!

The sad thing is that Frankie paid well over $100,000 for that car after the movie and now is taking a huge loss. Funny that an $80,000 Jetta still has roll up windows.

I'd pay that for the DeLorean from Back to the Future, but only if the time travel option was fully functional and Mr Fusion was installed.

Otherwise No Deal.

I had an A3 Jetta 2.0 for my first car--with a stick, and that thing wasn't exactly quick withOUT all of the tacky add ons that this car has. To each his own I guess, but even with that Nitrous shot, that car is probably pretty damned slow. Not to mention if you ever drove it hard with the nitrous, you would most likely grenade the engine in no time. Someone with too much money and not a lot of class will probably buy this thing. I guess I should log on and make an offer of "$5,000" and then sell the stereo out of it to recoup the cost
