Wow, folks on here seem to have a lot of themselves, and funds tied up in a set of wheels. I only have a pair on a 1997 Honda 100 Dream. It gets better than 100 mpg, has done over 209,000 km...... and is good for many more.

2012 VW GTI. Just bought it yesterday. First brand new car, and also first manual transmission car. Got good clutch practice today, as it is snowing.....

Very nice! Wish we didn't have to have our registration plates on the front of our cars in the UK. Looks so much cleaner.

looks nice. my b5s4 is a bit more mild, only an autospeed exhaust and dts, stern adj control arms, 18x8.5 monoblock wheels and a few other bits and pieces. being a daddy has seriously cut into my fun bits fund, so it will probably stay this way for a while. the only "upgrade" on the horizon is a recaro baby seat.

I know what you mean. I'm saving for a wedding in June. I haven't bought a toy in quite some time now. Good taste with the Recaro seats.

My new ride to go alongside the wife's Beetle, it's a 2013 Jetta SEL w/Nav. Made a deal today for over $500 under invoice and 0% financing, so can't go wrong there.

The SEL w/Nav has a lot of features--nav (obviously), Fender 9 speaker stereo with subwoofer (400W IIRC), heated power seats with lumbar, push button ignition with the keyless access (never take the key out of your pocket to unlock/start/stop/lock), bluetooth, iPod hookup, sunroof, SD card slot, heated mirrors, etc. etc. Really a nice car for a DD. When I found it it was still in it's factory vinyl/plastic wrapper and hadn't been prepped. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics:

Ha I agree with you... fortunately I live in one of the few states that doesn't require the front plate.

Dude you car is rocking..its pretty cool and sexy..You must have enjoyed a lot with it..

Why thank you. It didn't get out much last year (2012) because of the awful weather, but I did doa track day in it, which was tremendous fun. It hasn't been running well of late, so I have recently got a new ECU in it and had it remapped. It's now pushing 207.4 BHP, and running very sweetly. Looking forward to getting it out again! Should be a riot.
