Airgne has one too, but he has a lot more toys than me. I'm a basic bitch.

Not so much a mod list, I just had a lot of preventative maintenance done.

Updated mod list, still a little light. The power difference is a lot better though. Once the tune is all sorted out, I will hit the rollers.

No new pics, I don't build my cars for sex appeal, I build to put a smile on my face lol

If you watch Drive to Survive on Netflix you will see F1 driver Carlos Sainz has a black mk6 GTI.

I haven't watched that show yet. I'll be sure to look out for the GTI.

No new updates, we had some small tornados and I have hail damage. Hopefully my insurance will be good to me. 🤞🏻

I thought the storms hit closer to the southern coast

I have always really dug the golfs, just never had one. I almost bought an E-golf this past summer but they are still pretty pricey. if it had been in the $8k range I would have. i think a e-golf with GTi wheels would be awesome.

Little update, I had hail damaged from a couple years ago. I had the whole car gone through. Replaced both fenders, repaired rockers. There's 0 rust on this bad boy. The whole car has been repainted except the bumpers. Had a better cat welded in place of the cheap one that's on the downpipe. I think that's it, I'll post pics after I have it detailed. Usually I do it myself, but this is going to get a full douching.

End of an era, I bought another German and sold this last week. I'm going to update the mod list. Then eventually make a post for the current German.

Thank you

Are you the outcast? The VW dealer I was going to, all the techs drove MK2's to MK5 Jettas and GTi's.

Nope-we have a volvo nut-a couple of audi owners-a honda fan (he was a subie tech) one tech (20 plus years at the dealer-will not drive one) drives a toyota and the master tech drives a ram truck-
