Sigmund Fraud Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Pineapples have, inter alia, been used to adorn* the roofracks and interiors of show*-standard VWs. Hence the reference.

Sigmund Fraud Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Do you have a picture? You know what, I've tried to find one but failed miserably ! Could it be that we have all imagined it ?

John F Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I've never seen a picture of a VW adorned with a pineapple, nor have I even heard about it outside this website. If there's any truth to this affectation, it might be some allusion to the surf / Hawaiian shirt lifestyle of '60s California. Or it might be something as mundane as the unwashed masses of VeeDub sheep parrotting the skunk-induced brainfart of some prominent UK scenester. It might even be an outright lie. ATEOTD I neither know nor care... but I'm prepared to believe that those dubber scene twats are capable of abusing fruit in one way or another, so I'm happy to perpetuate the myth.

Mr Livered Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This was the best I could do after a spot of Googling: The pineapple is, er, quite near the VW... There's also evidence that some people with Beetles adorn their car with pineapples before committing crimes: Later that day, state police pulled over a yellow Volkswagen Beetle with a pineapple mounted on the roof antenna.http://citizensvoice.com/news/pineapple-leads-police-to-burglary-suspect-1.1519309 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squire_Dawson Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 A spot of thread resurrection here - sorry but I wasn't a member when this thread started. That's my excuse, should I need one. Anyway, round and about I have noticed that some VW's have the emblem missing from the front. Because previously the cars missing said badge just looked otherwise normal to me, I observed it and thought nothing more of it. Yet yesterday I had an archetypal scenester following me - shit old Golf, slightly lowered, black paintwork and had those daft white/blue sidelamp bulbs in, and I noticed that the VW badge was missing from his grille also. What's this, then? Yet another unwritten 'scene' cool-rule the logic of which only makes sense to the more progressive scenester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Squire, I suspect that's a throwback to the days when Beastie Boys fans nicked them to wear as necklaces. Many were taken, few replaced as they just got nicked again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgalour Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 No, it's a lazy attempt at de-badging. A properly de-badged grille goes for £silly or you can just pop the one off and leave a stupid gaping trim hole for £free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many were taken, few replaced as they just got nicked again I really hope thats true because... it has a delicous irony if VW crowd are replicating "retro" vandalism on their motors. Happened to my rents twice, although I think the second time was more "parking space spat" related as opposed to the Beastie Boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
