There is something that has been bothering me for a long time and I would like to discuss it now. I have a serious issue in Jacob Black's choice of vehicle. Of all the cool muscle cars in the world, he picked a 1986 VW Rabbit. This kid is supposed to be a gear head that can rebuild a vehicle from scrap or a POS motorcycle that doesn't run, yet he goes with the Rabbit. Have you ever seen an intimidating Rabbit? How about a sexy Rabbit? Does a man who drives a Rabbit say: "I'm a bad ass mutha fucka" to you? No wonder he never gets laid.
Here is a picture of a 1986 VW
Dorkmobile Rabbit.
Chick magnet?
Will his next project be the bad ass Yugo?
At least this one is trying to be manly. Check out the roll bar inside.
How about Le Car?
Keep your shirts on ladies, here comes sex on wheels.
I don't confess to know much about cars, but I do know a giant werewolf boy/man should be driving something a little more testosterone fueled. What do you think?

I know--it's a sad choice of car. I guess it's supposed to be something he found in a junk yard or something...but I wish he had found a 1986 IROC Chevy Camaro with an eagle painted on the hood..
I was totally going to suggest he rebuild an IROC instead! Too funny. There HAD to have been something better in the junk yard than a Rabbit. Even Bella's old truck was cooler.
Mox you are totally slinging mud in my face right now.
I love my Volkswagens, and I would totally get picked up by a cute boy in a VW (if fact..I did)
In all actuality the car Jacob talked about doesn’t exist, The US model VW Rabbit (European Golf Mk1) was done with production and replaced with the US model Golf (European Golf Mk2) by 1985. I drive the sedan version of the Golf called the Jetta and let me tell you, my car is sexxxaaay!
@CSG - You are biased! Even in the 80's that car wasn't cool. Can you imagine a muscle bound almost 7 foot tall 16 year old climbing out of that thing when he picks you up for a date?
IMO Stephenie Meyer should have given him a cool muscle car to restore. A VW Rabbit (or Golf) is not a horny teenage boy car.
PS. Your Jetta is VERY sexy! Hatchbacks, regardless of the make or model...not so much.
Yes, I suppose I am biased. I have been in love with VW's almost my whole life.
Jacob would have to remove the rear seats, and mount the drivers seat in the rear of the car. One thing to fix that issue would be to get the Cabriolet, then he could just put the top down. Maybe Jacob was environmentally friendly and didn't want a gas guzzlin muscle car?
um. A Cabriolet would scream "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAY" as he drove down the street. That is a total chick car.
Oh he could totally wear and ascot.
Jacob better keep his hands off Jasper's ascot or HEADS WILL ROLL!
My mind was in a whoooole different place when I read the title to this post. I thought you were asking about THE Rabbit - the battery operated item that some women keep in a drawer next to their bed. Imagine my surprise when you were talking about Jacob's car - LOL!!!!!
@Dangrdafne - ME TOO!!!! LMFAO!
@Mox - I never gave Jacob's car much thought because I never gave Jacob much thought. However, I never thought Edward's silver Volvo was sexy. That whole parking lot scene where he saves Bella from the gang bangers makes me laugh every time the car peels out.

Lisa's comment was so nice, she said it twice...
@ SB - LMAO . Jasper's ascot
@Dang - you are a pervy h00r and that's why I love you! I don't blame you for having your mind in the gutter. That Details video still has me hot and bothered.
@Lisa - I guess Stephenie knows even less about cars than me. At least I know whats hot. She really dorked them out in the vehicle department.
@Mrs. P - Did it really go through twice? LMAO!
@mmMox - Yes, for all here talk about her brothers being gearheads and picking cars for them, you would have thought they would have helped her out a little more.
@Mrs P - HAHA, I can't believe she was so mean. Poor Jacob. He's going to cry himself to sleep tonight. Too bad Lizardstew is neglecting the blog. She's the only one to defend him.
@ Moxie - I never thought I would ever be called a pervy h00r in my life but apparently that is what Twitardia does to someone ;) I love you too!
P.S.: I've taken some cold medicine, so I can't be held responsible for my fuck ups tonight (if only I had that excuse every other night). Plus, my son came home from college for a long weekend (their baseball games in Tennessee got cancelled due to weather so the coach gave them the weekend off). I'm going to probably be MIA the rest of the night.
Hi Lisa's son! Take care of your mother. She doesn't feel well.
Hope you feel better, especially before tomorrow night's DML
I'm off to weather.com to check tennessee weather and see if lisa is lying...brb. Just kidding.
Oh my, I'm slightly frightened to jump into this melee.
Ah, fuck it.
First of all IROCs? Really? Yeesh. LOL.
Hello, flashbacks to the Jersey Shore.
I like Volkswagens. A lot. I've always wanted one - a Cabriolet, to be exact (yes, a total girl car, lol) so I'm content with Jacob's car.
To be fair, it's not exactly like a Volvo screams 'manly', ya know? [flicks you all the bird before running off].
In the end, I'm with @Dangrdafne here - I totally thought about something else when I read the title. Le sigh.
HA! "Le sigh"
Maybe Jacob wanted a Rabbit because he heard chicks were into them. He didn't know they meant the vibrator.
hahahahaha.. rabbits = not sexy.. um how does his what 7 foot tall self even FIT into the rabbit? a challenger wouldve been a sexy chick magnet!!
@Copa Shoe Girl-I too am biased. My boyfriend rakes me over the coals on a regular basis for my inherent lust for Car-porn which was started by VW. I have had dirty thoughts about Vokswaggens and Volvo's for years- which is actually what made me go see Twilight the second time ( I had not read the books nor did i know anything about Twilight). GO RABBIT! You know what they say about rabbits..
hi! my first comment here *waves* so i'mma try to make a good first impression and shit. okays, no promises, but i'll try to behave myself. :) see?
jake's car is fo shizz no chick magnet, but...here's how my mind works (fuck jacob, well no, well fuck...just nevermind. focus), rabbit = bunny. bunny = playboy. playboy = heff hooks you up with hot naked chicks...right?? so, jake's rabbit is really just a playmate waiting to happen = smart fucking dog.
aaaaaaannndd that's my world ladies.
sleep tight and dream of compact cars...
i'll definitely come again. teehee.

Jacob in Twilight and New Moon in a Rabbit is fine, ya know before SM got a 4 book deal and exended the whole JB character.
But once he started with the ego and attitude in Eclipse and BD he morphed into needing a Honda Prelude circa 1995--black or possibly bright yellow-with shiny rims and music blaring.
yeah, i knew a few dogs with such car.
Ok...so clearly you girls haven't spent much time in VWs. ('Cept CSG and Scar Char.) When I met my husband (who is 6'6"), he drove a VW GTI (a 2-door Golf). He had oodles of room. He also used to have a rabbit as his "winter car" when he lived in IL. No back seat removal required. Granted, he's not a hulk by any means...but he does have long-ass legs.
We must remember that Jacob acquired the Rabbit before he turned into a giant wolf boy, not knowing he would soon be massive. And I think he probably got it for free, or too cheap for a beggar to be a chooser.
Sorry...it just doesn't sit with me for some humble, poor kid livin' "on the reservayshun" to be restoring an Iroc. I think the Rabbit fits Jacob pretty well.
I would like to remind everyone that this is a made up story. Stephenie could have written any car she wanted for Jacob. She wrote Breaking Dawn for fuck's sake. I think Jacob finding an IROQ in the junkyard would have been more believable than anything in Breaking Dawn.
Yes, my dear Mox, I know it's a made up story. But I still maintain that an Iroc does not FIT Jake's character. At least not Jake in the first 2 books. An Iroc is for stoners who disobey the rules...the Jeff Spicolis of the world, if you will. Jake is as far from Spicoli as you can get.
@LS - I get your point, but its still a doofy car. No offense to Mr. Lizardstew. He doesn't drive a Rabbit now.

@smartEpantz. WELCOME to the SagaPalooza.
If Jacob fucks like a bunny.......he's doing it with Renesmee. EWW!
Oh, totally agree. It was a doofy car. But Jake was kind of a doofy kid...
And no offense taken. His GTI was a pretty sweet ride, and his Rabbit was around simply to keep the rust off of his BMW in the winter months. You know how he is about cars.
I am LMAO that this has turned into such a heated debate. Who knew?
@Lizardstew - You sticking around for DML and twitter tonight?
@mmMoxie - I didn't know Derble was your sister!! Just read your comment on my post.
Lisa, I'll be there for 20-25 minutes. Then I got a 30th birthday party to go to! I don't think I have ANY plans next Friday...
LS - Seriously. How many friends to you have?!! LOL! I may not be here next Friday. If our son's baseball games are on for next weekend, we have decided to make the weekend trek to Kentucky. He has been named their number one pitcher and gets to pitch the first game of the season. We thought we would be in Tennessee today for that, but the games got cancelled. It's his senior year. We don't want to miss a minute of it :)
See you in a little bit, then.
Lisa
@Lisa LS is a social butterfly. She has plans every weekend.
I'm not happy that you may not be here next week. Not happy at all. Stupid kids always wanting stuff like attention and love and food.
@mmMoxie - Trust me. I'm already thinking about how I can work it out. If we're at the hotel, it should be no problem. I will just use the lobby computer or fight my way through the tiny screen on my iPod Touch. But if we're out to eat with Travis and some of his teammates, then that's a different story. I have visions of me excusing myself to go to the bathroom and trying to access the Wi-Fi on my iPod touch from there. I'm that addicted. LOL!!
OMG that is hilarious. I can see you now sitting on the crapper and laughing your ass off!
No shit (pun intended)! LOL!!
Look, people! I can't help it if I'm a woman in demand!
The rabbit is a stupid choice. I fell harder for my hubs (who does auto body for a living) when he showed me his 1970 Barracuda Hemi...YUM! Now that is a muscle car. We drove it for our wedding day.
mox, you just made me sad.. you mean this ISNT a real story? hehehehe
I stand by my comment. The VW is a solid choice!
