I get a kick out of the internet and how a lot of new people who are discovering what we’ve been into for so many years now are into arguing about hellaflush this, hellaflush that. The HF site has been around for 5 years now so we’ve seen and heard almost everything but we keep treading along. Once a week, I’ll put up some of the funnier quotes and misconceptions about the style we call hellaflush. If you can’t laugh at this, then you’re taking this WAY too seriously.

This first quote comes from the NASIOC forums..
“i have nothing against what people like to do on their car, but it is just dumb to see all of the “hellaflush” kids bash on the vdubs for having poke/stretched tires in the rear. if you are into a certain style that may not be liked by all, then you shouldn’t be hating on others.” – vinxH, a Scooby Specialist

I can’t think of a time when we’ve bashed vdubs. As a matter of fact, It’s the vdub scene that peaked my interest in fixing up cars. Going to all the aircooled vdub shows as a kid is what got my internal engine revving and still does. Also, having a hellaflush car is about embracing all makes and models of cars that push the offset game.

128 Pages of vdub flushness. Hows that for bashing..

These MAE wheels were very popular on BMW’s back then and look great on this MK4

.. and here’s my way of tying it (hip hop, cars, and music) all together.
“Catch A Bad One” comes from one of my favorite underground rappers of all time. Berkeley’s Del Tha Funkee homosapien came out with this jam in 1993 on his debut album, No need for alarm. His sound and style was embraced by the vdub community. You’d see del stickers on the back of bus’s, bugs, and a ton of air cooled gti’s.
