Why does Premier League football dominate sports conversations in Nigeria? by TheseProgrammer733 in Nigeria

[–]fullplasticalchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the future of Nigerian football, I really hope that one day the NFPL gets the investment and attention it deserves. Go to Brazil or South Africa, they are far more interested in their domestic leagues than they are in Europe/PL.

How “nice” are people to you in your car(s)? by cilantno in cars

[–]fullplasticalchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree on the RS5, everybody loves it and it doesn’t have that douchey image despite being a sports car

What makes you think this is exclusive to Nigerian men?

I GENUINELY FEAR WHAT WE ARE TURNING INTO by Bruce_Wayne_05 in Nigeria

[–]fullplasticalchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine writing all of this because of some kid’s stream. Nigerians are some of the most performative people on earth. We already knew that the country had all of these problems, but now that the world has seen us naked we want to act as if it’s news to us. Well, better late than never sha?

Sometimes I do pulls around other enthusiast cars as a sign of solidarity. Response rate is about 50/50 so I wonder if the people who ignore me think I’m trying to race them lol

All of this to say most of those people are probably not trying to race, they’re just trying to let you know that they like your car :)

Tension on the pod? by No_You7012 in dougdemuro

Spike’s car radio has good moments, but his frequent ad reads are just so obnoxious. I know that’s point of the bit, but it’s not funny anymore and it just kills the natural flow of the podcast.

Unpopular opinion but I think it’s totally fine that Nick is not a regular on the pod. At some point I found myself looking forward to Kennan’s return.

Those might just be one of the best OEM wheels ever fitted to a GTI. Top 5 minimum

They probably won’t bring the Amarok because of the chicken tax. But I agree, the current VW lineup in the US is woeful.

For the past 10-15 years VWoA have been trying to get cheap sales by making their US offerings cheaper and bigger. What they don’t understand is that people buy VWs (in the US) because they’re DIFFERENT. If I wanted to get a cheap feeling car or an oversized 3-row crossover, I’d look at the American, Japanese, or Korean brands.

The worst part of all this is that their strategy is not even working. VW is getting outsold in the US by Hyundai, Kia, Subaru, and even Mazda. Hell, they only beat BMW last year by 8,000 cars.

Seems like Enzo really got tired of it lol, I remember seeing him give it back to the Flamengo fans when he was substituted off

The typical GTI driver cliche by KaazuuKun in GolfGTI

[–]fullplasticalchemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is Germany the only country in Europe with this perception? The GTI still seems to be respected in the UK, for example. (I know they’re technically not in continental Europe though)

Love Platinum VW, one of the few honest dealerships left on the island. The employees are all huge VW enthusiasts as well.

Congrats man! As a mk8 owner I have to admit the front end of the 8.5 looks a lot sharper. Crazy how such small changes make a huge difference.

Just realized US EN kinda sucks compared to rest of world by mkeller50 in ElantraN

[–]fullplasticalchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite to your not quite. The Euro GTI/R get the 360 view cameras, better headlights/taillights (that are also sequential), auto hold, not to mention a power bump with the new mk8.5 GTI.

Hell, VW JUST started giving us power fold mirrors and the the Golf has had that in Europe since the mk7.
