Finally pulled trigger on winter car...
 

Bought a White 2008 VW GTI. It's no RX8 but for a winter car, I'll take it :) Time for some more modding... :lol2:

Shotgun!!!

VW's for the old guys, eh, Warren? LOL

any pics of it?

Will get it Thurs of Friday next week and will snap some pics...

'06 Forester turbo, snow tires, Cobb remapped to 15psi - now there's a winter beater!

Yeah not bad. Too bad it's a "two bagger" ;)

that's quiet the winter car sir! Good to see you're still hangin' around.. it's been awhile since you last came out!

A two bagger? am I just missing something?

An age-old expression :) Think ugly chick and paper bag on her head so you can complete the task at hand... 2 bags if you're worried the first one could get accidentally removed ;)

Yeah, miss you guys but have been crazy busy as of late. Perhaps soon with get together re: Al leaving?

I now have a new favorite expression

Yeah man... sounds good. I guess the plan is for Dim Sum next weekend if I follow correctly.

the GTI is a mean lil' bugger as well... get it chipped and those things have just as much HP as Torque... not sure how they go around corners... but they're speedy lil' basterds. :)

Looking into which chip I want now. So much HP and tourque gain for so little money... definitely different than the 8 in that respect. Doesn't handle like an 8, not even close but I love the seats and the DSG auto tranny. Car is also very tight and has a great ride. Got the 4 door model, so it's even practical :)

Hopefully will get out for dim sum but do have to travel to Buffalo on Sunday. If i miss you guys, I will get us together for a night in the HT :)

Must be nice to have money! ;)

We've haven't gotten together in a while. Anyone going to organize a small get together soon??

Ha, got you both beat, just got my beater, a 390hp Dodge Ram Quad Cab Laramie 4x4...call me when you'z get stuck!

GTI is nice though.

Got us beat if you like trucks ;)

...so what was that phone number to call if I get stuck... LOL

The Foz may be (prolly IS) butt ugly, but it's also absolutely invisible.

I get waved right thru check-stops!

They must think I'm a lesbian......

:eek::SHOCKED:














































:fruit:

thats what iv thought about replacing my focus with soon as i get my big pay day lol.

Whatever...gottcha all beat with my 4 door SL1 100hp saturn baby!!! Let's go race our beaters...lmao!

^ Mine beats them all, a 2004 Vibe with automatic. Zero to Sixty in about 12 seconds, what piece of crap and to boot it has torque steer! figure that!

It good to see Thunder & Darkbrew are still around, have not seen you guys posting for awhile. Must be nice to have a 2008 GTI as a winter beater!

I was at JRP today. For $530, the cost of a modified chip, I can add 50 HP and 60 pounds of tourque!!! I'll probably have that chip installed before I go home from the dealership... LOL

ya rx8thunder, its the beauty of turbo...my 1.8T with the same I/H/E + chip mod boost it from 150hp to 227hp...193whp at the front wheels.

Yours should be at least 240hp/240tq!

Cant turn for shit compare to rx8 tho :P

That's why my 8 is not for sale ;)
