volks - thanks for the heads up on the torx so I don't get under there one and start cussing because my beloved go to set of sockets isn't doing anything. What kind of car would you build now if you could?

im more of a VW person..but ive considered building a sick e30 or something...i had a 410+whp turbo vr6 GTI...but i parted it back to stock and sold it to pay for going to BMW training(well the training was free but housing wasnt)

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

I bet that GTI was a beast to drive. I really like the old Corrado's... I might have misspelled that.

My car is finished being built now and is awaiting transport to the port now. I calculated roughly 21-32 days before it is ready to pick up in Virginia.

Woot, bought anything yet? Like painted reflectors, you will want them

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

I was going to order my painted reflectors and my front lip before I got the car, then I just decided it would suck to sit and look at my parts. I'll start ordering toys once it comes in. I started a parts list the other night, man does it suck starting from stock again.

haha modding is so addicting...yea rados are great only issue is they have alot of gremlins and i really dont feel like dealing with all that...its the only modern VW car i didnt own yet..ive had a passat, multiple GTI's, jettas, in all different forms haha..

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

One of my buddies was sooo close to buying a new GTI. I think everything needs to be modded a little bit.

I hate selling cars, I have my S up for sale and people just low ball like crazy.

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

I just got nervous for a second where I saw someone post about needing the wheel upgrade and the sport package to get the oil cooler... then I realized they were talking about the Xi and upgrading to 18's... *whew*

[pittyinSC]

Good color combo BTW

I love AW with Saddle Brown 2

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

Weird, I just had some random sales guy PM me about getting me a 335Xi on their lot for Invoice or if I wanted to order something from him he would do $700 over invoice. I'm like why are you PM'ing me, A. I've already ordered a car and B. That's still more than I paid for my car that I ordered. Epic Fail.

[GMWNashville]

yea i own a 2008 GTI..i personally dont really like it that much but then again its the only stock car ive EVER owned..so idk? maybe thats it? i still just dont get the enjoyment i did out of my past cars..sadly im in a 3 year lease and im 7 months deep in it..so oh well?

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

Did any of you guys know Michael and Sarah that passed away yesterday in that car wreck?

Yes myself and Brian(Nashvegas) did

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

Damn tragedy. I just met the guy a couple weeks ago, he stopped by my house while I was working on the S, he was looking to talk to Turbo Dave that day and Dave had just left my house.

[GMWNashville]

never met either of them though i know alot of people in this area knew them...such a shitty thing to happen...

[batchelorc]

[Dark_Sub_Rosa]

The pictures of the car from the aftermath are really scary. The whole story is on Tennspeed.net and I think also on Tennesspeed.net along with some other forums.

[pittyinSC]

Yes this is very sad
