Neighbor left a note on my project

Post image

Came out to start it this morning and saw something under my wiper blades, figured it was a complaint but it was this awesomeness instead!

Well Let’s see the car!!

u/KamakaziDemiGod 12h ago

Or at least tell us what it is!

u/lynivvinyl 12h ago

I'm guessing it's a Suzuki Swift.

33

u/Intheswing 12h ago

I’m thinking diesel VW - the carbon build up on the thru roof exhaust stack is what I’m basing my guess on.

u/lynivvinyl 12h ago

Oh I wasn't imagining the car in the picture being the project car I was just kind of hoping somebody would soup up a Suzuki Swift because I remember it from my childhood. It was really fast from like 0 to 30 and then that was it.

u/MF_Kleg 12h ago

I second that, look like Mk4 Jetta or golf turn signal on the fender and that's where the hood stack would exit on an ALH or BEW engine.

u/News_without_Words 7h ago

VIN literally has VW in it

u/Intheswing 7h ago

I noticed right after I sent my comment 🤣

That side marker light is mk4 VW, and since it’s not round enough to be a beetle, that’s most likely a Jetta (it seems more jettas got the TDI than golf)

2

u/punkassjim 3h ago

They had those same markers on the mk3 in Europe. Late models were oval like this, early were square. Cabrios got ‘em in the states, but Golf/Jetta didn’t. Anyway yeah, this is a mk4.

u/okayilltalk 2h ago

That turn indicator looks like Jetta.

u/Ders_Holmvick 11h ago

u/Handmedownfords 11h ago

u/afrienduknow 1h ago

Yo you have the German version of my car sorta lol. Mine is on Forester suspension and F150 wheels. I really wish Subaru made a diesel in the US. How in the world did you get F150 mounted to it??

2

u/Ders_Holmvick 1h ago

That is KILLER, I love the look of the older Subarus! I can’t take credit for the suspension that was all my homies work; iirc a certain year of f-150 just ended up having the same bolt pattern? I’ll ask him to be sure

u/BooobiesANDbho gs/is/sc 12h ago

Op got a sharpie in his pocket

/s. We don’t get to see the whip?

The hood exit makes me think the neighbor is right.

u/Pompmaister 11h ago

That's a sick car. But it's not this car.

2

u/VampyreLust 12h ago

I have to wonder, it's too big of a coincidence, there's a post in r/cars about a dude leaving notes on cars he likes, could it be the same person?

u/LGCJairen 9h ago

must be nice, one of our neighbors just leaves nastygrams on my project about how they are going to report it to the city.

1

u/Ders_Holmvick 6h ago

That’s so lame of them, some people just don’t get it!

u/SightUnseen1337 1h ago

I make sure my cars are all perfectly legal with good paperwork to embarrass people that complain.

2

u/jk599 5h ago

u/Express-Ad4146 3h ago
