The GTI is sold. It’s the end of a chapter. I’ll miss it.
I’ve been meaning to write this story for couple weeks, but I never got around to it. Here goes: On my drive back home from Bloomington I had to pass through the mountains. Roughly 10 miles before entering the Rockies a blue R32 with darkly tinted windows pulls up next to me. For those you [...]
I gave a ride home to a girl in my PS6 class. Seeing that I have a stick shift she says “Why would you drive a car with three pedals? You only have two feet.” – Nitrous (NOS) is like a really hot girl with STD’s, you know you want to hit it but you’re [...]
Yes I’m a geek. Bear with me: By the end of this month I hope to have a computer hardwired into my car. Yes a full size computer, with a processor a gig of ram, Windows XP, and sporting a 180 GB HDD. 7″ LCD Touchscreen, Custom Mount, Wireless Network Card, Verizon PCI card, Wireless [...]
Got the Valentine1 installed and hardwired. I tried mounting the V1 remote display, into the AC vent on the driver side. I messed up a lot, but I have a rough idea of what I did wrong. Going to go the dealer or a junk yard on Monday, and picking up another vent to redo [...]
I’m usually the guy on the road who has the gas floored, the pedal to the metal, or wide open throttle, whatever you want to call it. Recently, in an attempt to see how far I can stretch a tank of gas in my car, I’ve been shifting up at 3000 RPM and not generating [...]
I finally gave in and paid retail for it. It seems like almost a sin to pay retail for anything these days, however, I just did. Searching on Ebay was really no good, because auctions were only closing $30-35 dollars below retail. There is no point buying something used and without warranty for that much. [...]
I recently bought a gizmo for my car called the “VWCDPIC”. It’s a small little chip which allows me to connect any RCA input directly into my car’s audio system without the use of a tape adapter. Before I bought this, I was using one of those tape adapters and none of my music sounded [...]
I went this evening down to Tustin to drop of one of my mom’s friends at their business there. In the parking lot I saw a GTI 1.8T which looked different from outside so I stopped to look inside to see if the owner had made any changes to the interior. Less then a minute [...]
I finally got it. I’m loving it and I’ve already got 300 miles put on it. Six speed manual, 18″ rims, recardo seats, monsoon 8-speaker stereo, 180 HP, 173-torque and does 0-60 in 5.8 I’m driving up to Berkeley for the weekend to spend time with Shay, Neil, some of my other friends and also [...]
