Forget Volkswagen, plug Guitar Hero into your car

Is that a yellow memory card. Oh, how tacky.

I think this is what my car would look like if Xhibit showed up at my front door. Only it would have fold-out gaming chairs as well.

It's too bad with the Volkswagens they give you shit guitars. First Act guitars are literally like the wal-mart brand of guitars.

You know what, I was wondering who "First Act" was. Why not a brand with some cachet? And if it's no name, why bother listing the name at all?

Back on topic, did'ya notice I completely avoided all references to "pimping" and "rides"? It was hard.

The VW ads are great, this Eclipse looks like a lot of fun, this whole thing is great. A simple life in a simple non-confrontational comments section. Bliss.

EXCEPT TEH 'FIRST AXE' IZ TEH SUXXORS!

Slash? Dude, get your facts straight. Those VW commercials feature the hilarious Christopher Guest as Nigel Tufnel from the band Spinal Tap.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.

They actually feature, Christopher Guest, John Mayer (pretty sure that's John Mayer, or one of those other shitty emo guitar rockers), and Slash in three separate commercials.

Well, thank you. I was unawares. Only the Guest ones have been playing in my area it seems.

Plus, I really just wanted to quote his whole "These go to eleven" spiel :).

yeah! give out really EXPENSIVE, NICE guitars free with a car! that's good business sense!

=/

it's free. jeez . . . if you care enough to complain about the quality of the guitar you get with it, you should probably have your own (better) guitar anyhow . . .

and, oh yeeeeah, i want that setup in my tC!

Oh, come on. At least he could've done the wireless mod while he had those controllers apart.

...droool....the only car worth owning. Aside from ones rigged with other consoles, too.

Everyone wants to use that quote Scottie, do your homework ;P

Dude, Alex is one of my personal friends. He seriously doesn't have the time to mod the guitars past the paint job since he's so obsessed with that car. You should freaking see that thing! The whole inside is that color scheme, and there are some very tastefully done red lights in there as well, which is a rare sight since most lights on cars are incredibly garish. Alex used to have vertical doors on that Eclipse, but they started to bend off and eventually became unusable so he had to change it back to horizontal doors, which I think looks better anyway. He's put a LOT of money into that thing. I'm waiting for him to swap out the PS2 for his 360 once GHII comes out for that system!

thanks for the comments i am doing the wireless mod on both the guitars right now but they are color matched the the rest of the car. more pictures of my ride can be found at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2095032

and by the way that is me in the picture at HIN Pheonix

Actually, d sub, C.Grant, and ill trooper, First Act's guitars run the entire gamut of the price/quality spetrum. True, they do sell cheap guitars at the Wal-Mart/Target retail level (and this is most likely the type they include in the VW deal), but they also offer high-end models with a serious level of customization options available, much like Fender, Gibson, et al.

Just a little tip from someone who reads Guitar World as often as he reads Joystiq. ;)
