When I was young I didn’t say a lot of bs, but one of my friend used to call vw golf, and sedan translates to Mercedes, as such a Passat was a Golf Mercedes… Enough for the Internet I guess…

Oh my :D Today I walked by a woman circling a multipla with “for sale” signs tolking to her ??boyfriend?? saying something like: “… yeah it’s for sale and it looks really nice!”. I know it’s a practical car and sh*t but still I was holding myself not to burst into laughter thinking that’s the 1st time I heard anyone say that and then I come home to this post :D

When someone originally explained to me what a turbo was, I didn’t quite get it and thought that it was to help the exhaust gases get out of the exhaust with less effort….
