Another reason I was thinking of adding the power assists is , its just damn cool to say my car has assists , and nobody elses does . Its just one of those things to kind of set your car apart from the rest . It seems most of the stuff I have been thinking of has been done to death , and it is getting harder and harder to be original . I hope you can understand my thinking on that .

Yeah, I feel ya there. When there's 23 million copies of the car you have how do you make yours stand out? Any more you don't need fancy gimmicks or electro-wizardry, simple and clean will take you farther than you know. That's why I dig the german look and went that route on my car.

When I started mine I was unaware of 'Germanlook', 'Cal-Look', Rat-Look', whatever. All I know is that 'Germanlook' matches my philosophy about cars the best. Its about performance and engineering, not gimmicks. Its about adapting/modifying and exploring engineering possibilities to make the cars and vans better. Despite the title, for me its the engineering that sparks my interest but if it looks good aswell then so much the better. You will see on this site that contributors explore the potential of their mods on the track, not in the bar and thats what makes it authentic.

I'll drink to that, this is absolutely my favourite VW site, it also fits with what I feel is the ultimate goal of modifying a VW, to make it them go, stop & handle.
