  1. That's the closest to an F1 car I've ever heard a street car sound. Not quite as high pitched, but very sweet. Count me into the "It sounds fucking amazing" group.
  2. Awesome! Can't wait for the real thing to start again.
  3. Mmm, I've never seen one in black. It looks like the Batmobile in that particular color lol. I've never liked the headlights, but I still love the rest of the car.
  4. Haha, I love when Bob and Tom play Mabe's stuff. My favorite is when he calls a cell phone company to complain about an echo on his phone and has another comedian on the line with him repeating what he says in jive. http://www.Bobandtom.com has some clips.
  5. Damn, someone else got a new GTI, now I'm not unique anymore. ContiPro Contacts, or whatever the hell they are, are what came on my car. They're all-season and I'm just gonna leave them on for the winter. I figure they'll do just fine. Maybe in the spring I'll get some summer tires. If you're really worried about driving in snow, you could get a set of snow tires or all-seasons to give you some security. You definitely don't wanna drive on those performance tires. But, looking out for the other drivers around you is a must in Columbus, no matter what the weather is like.
  6. Wow, sounds like it'd be kinda cool to see that.
  7. I heard on Bob and Tom this morning that someone made a documentary about a man who was killed by a horse while it was riding him. It's going to be shown at the Sundance festival as a tribute to him lol.
  8. Then, long after we're all dead, it'll go back to the way it is now and has been for the last few centuries. It's just a big cycle until the world ends or someone nukes our ass, whichever comes first.
  9. Luckily it'll probably be all rain by the time it gets here.
  10. God bless Linn and all his free time.
  11. "The wastegate's all fucked!" hahahahaha
  12. That's one fast shoe they got there.
  13. Excellent to hear, Shawn. Both times I've been there so far were very good experiences. All the employees I talked to were cool as hell, but they were probably just doing what salespersons usually do.
  14. http://www.finalgear.com The site has all the news about it you need. He crashed a jet powered car at around 300 mph while filming for the show. He incurred massive head injuries and his memory is being effected.
  15. Thanks for the messages, folks. Bad to hear about the tires, I do believe they are the Pro's. They came with a warranty, though, so I'm covered on them. Also, I don't like leather seats, especially VW leather seats. The cloth seats are comfortable as hell, and very firm/supportive. I think I got a good deal on the car, 2 grand under Blue Book value, actually. Plus, with the College Grad Program, I got a sweet interest rate so my monthly payment is under what I was aiming for. Nate, stay in one state for more than 24 hours and maybe you'll get to go to BWW with us sometime.
  16. I cannot wait for this. It's about damn time, though I wish it were sooner.
  17. Now that I have a new job I felt it was time to get a new car. The ZX2 had a good run, but was getting past its prime. I've loved the new GTI's since I first saw a story about it on Top Gear. So, I shopped around and feel I got a good deal on this one. It's used, only 7500 miles, but was owned by a Catholic priest. He kept it in mint condition and actually added some upgrades. It has an APR chip that, according to APR, bumps the power to 250 HP and ~300 ft/lbs torque. It also has a Euro lightswitch that turns off the DRLs and allows the foglights to be controlled seperate from the headlights. I haven't been able to take proper pictures of it due to the bad weather, so I just got the ones from Byer's website. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2407/wvwev71k66w1453071et7.jpg http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/238/wvwev71k66w1453077iz0.jpg http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/3269/wvwev71k66w1453078kk8.jpg http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/2245/wvwev71k66w1453079qf3.jpg
  18. Good stuff, I didn't know Car and Driver TV ever made something interesting.
  19. Haha, I fucking work for a company under the Emerson umbrella, I feel a little embarassed. But, it's not like I had a say in it.
  20. I caught one of these events one weekend a while back. It's very impressive and those guys seem to have nerves of steel. I'm gonna have to download some races or something.
  21. "I'm getting a huge clue!" hahahahaha We were quoting that all day at work. I couldn't stop laughing.
  22. The silhouettes are pretty similar, but that's about it.
