That's EXACTLY what I wanted, and what I wanted to do. I'm sure you guys have seen that picture of teh slammed Passat wagon with the Passat-wagon-trailer! Yeah, THAT'S what I wanted. I first saw that car, in the flesh, at a rest stop in Switzerland.

Since I have a slightly twisted way of thinking, especially about cars, this is what I was thinking about building:

The Slammed Wagen W/Wagen-Trailer (W8/AWD, of course)
Twin S/C's
A PTO (similar to what the Army has with a HMMT, or the old "Goats," if you've been around long enough to remember those tracked wonders) off the back as part of the trailer-hitch, for a 6WD-ability.

My biggest problem is that, as a kid, I used to read Car-Toons magazine, so I tend to see cars as a good starting-point for building something NO ONE ELSE has EVARH thought of doing.

As for the ***** over at Vortex, I type how I type. Fukkum. I play in/on something like 5-7 forums, from time to time. Not gonna change for a buncha ****-slobbers' not fit to sniff my ***-crack.

Did you want the AF kids to beat their asses?

And I know what you're saying Jazz. That wagon is a nice platform with a lot of potential. I mean the quad exhaust themselves look freaking bad ***!

I love Vortex classifieds (found my wheels there), but at the same time you can see a sale post go up and in 5 minutes it has 33 replies. Makes it hard to get anything. And yeah, a lot of them over there are tools.

I definitely prefer the look of the B6 A4 Avant to the Passat W8 Wagon... so that made things easier as well. I just like how much of a sleeper the Passat is. Looks like a total grocery getter but the Quad exhaust and super unique exhaust note to match... cool stuff.

Still though, slammed B6 A4 is around the same price and looks much nicer IMHO. Engine doesn't have 1/100th of the cool factor but it is 100x more reliable and mod-friendly.
