What’s up, everybody, here are JETLAG RADIO 1094 & BENKYO RADIO 1094. Everybody remember the ID.R, what a incredible vehicle from VW. Now, the entire ID line-up at VW has been unveiled: ID.4, the ID Buzz, the ID.7, and the super secrective ID.X Performance (551HP). This weekend, there will be a VW Superbowl LVIII AD about its 75th anniversary. What will they display? I hope to God (Jesus, Allah, Buddha, etc) and the Universe, that they announce the VW Passat Wagon R or create a GT model for the North American market. It’s available in Europe, I want it here, with the same INFOTAINMENT LCD screen. It’s large, it’s as big as a Tesla 3, I want it. So far, even after working for over 25 years, including 7 years retail, and 12 years Corporate, and the lack of paychecks for the past 5 years, I have been unable to purchase my first new vehicle. I need one, I absolutely need one. I have been working on my startup/website/blog/podcasts/DJin’ since 2014, that’s over 10 years ago. I need a celebration. I need a new car. I did not ask for the entire Galaxy, I just want a goddamn new vehicle, whether a German-Engineering one, or a JDM one (assuming Nissan creates a MAXIMA NISMO, since I do not have the cashflow or cash liquidity for a SKYLINE GT-R at the moment, and Toyota has yet to create a 4-door SUPRA). Help me out goddamnit, many of you got filthy-rich, I just need $80K-200K to purchase this vehicle. That’s why I hope I win the 80Eighty or TunerCult contests. I could have a new car, and the income to pay off bills, mortgage, and own a new SUV for my wife, and a sports car for myself. Thank you for your help, guys & gals.

Until Next Time!
