Bad luck no more

Hopefully my luck is getting better. The guy I purchased the grille from send me an Instant Message on www.VWVortex.com and told me that he sent a new one to me. Per UPS, the package should be here on Thursday, 8.20.09. Let's hope it comes in one piece this time. I will keep this updated. Until next time...

The bad luck continues...

This post is a continuation of the post below. I just wanted to show what UPS has done to kick a guy down when he is at his lowest. haha. Not really, but it really did suck, especially since I purchased this item the day I got laid off. Wonderful huh?

I ordered a badge-less grille. This will delete the VW emblem on the front of the car and will give it a nice clean look to the front of the car. If you look at my playlist below you can see the red Jetta with an almost exact rendition of what I purchased, BUT the UPS company managed to "make my day". Below you will see my pics of the damage...

I am currently talking to the guy who supplied it so I will see what happens. I am in no rush though.

Yeah, UPS is awesome:

Laid off and more time...

Well, due to my current employment situation, which is none, I will have a lot of extra time to actually contribute to my own blog.

This blog was created to show my progress and journey to the ultimate stance. If you do not know what stance is. Please go HERE. The link will show you perfect examples of what stance is and the massive culture within' the "dub" (Volkswagen) scene. The ultimate stance is how the car sits. It involves two very important steps to the equation. First, the proper lowered suspension whether or not the suspension is functional or not (seriously). Second, shoes that will drop the panties. Ok, maybe I need to keep the slang to a minimum since I'd like people who do not know what this culture is about to understand what I am writing. When I say shoes, I mean the car will need some very nice wheels. Be it, big, small, shiny, rare or unique. The wheels need to have a statement. There are so many enthusiast out there, that each person trying to acquire the perfect stance will want to be different from the rest, surpass the rest and make sure it drops the panties (this phrase is sort of similar to when rock stars perform on stage and the girls in the crowd will throw their undergarments to the stage because the band is so life changing and inspires all the ladies to throw there underwear. This is what the perfect stance will do...make the ladies feel like the car they just saw with this perfect stance is like their life-long favorite band). Ok, enough of the chatter.

There will be a lot of other parts, procedures and modifications that will need to be done to the car to add to the stance and look of the car, but those all come down to preference. I will update this as much as I can, as it will lack on my part due to the lack of funds since I have recently been unemployed (07.26.09). I do have more time so I will try to add the little things also. Stay tuned.
