  1. Saw your car at the Quaker show where that pic was taken. Looks sharp. If those were manual trans, I would own one. I love the way they look and they perform great too!
  2. Welcome, your car is slow, but in great condition and cool color combo.
  3. Congrats, having a girl is close to the top of my list of "risks" of having kids, lol. Enjoy.
  4. Yeah, I should have done that, stayed on the road longer and taken a highway back. Oh well, next time I will be more prepared. This was not planned, we were bored, it was gorgeous out so I googled it remembering this thread and wrote down basic directions and off we went. I would say without a doubt it was the hardest I have driven my car in the twisties. I also felt that a larger car would have been less fun to operate, such as a B8 S4... this of course was just a guess, but my car just feels right to me. I love it. Im game for another blast on a nice weekend day.
  5. Honestly, I don't remember, it most certainly wasn't all the way. I bet it wasn't even half way on 555. I was driving pretty hard and after about 30 minutes on it I turned around and went back. So I got about an hour of 555 and the roads to get their sans 70 were fun as well. The whole trip took about 4 hours including a 10 min leg stretch and a bathroom/drink break. It certainly brought some deficiencies to light with my car though. I need bigger sway bars. Even with the coils at full stiff, I had a bit more roll than I wanted. Regular driving they don't roll at all though. Also, brakes as I mentioned. Both of those mads will make my car a big sleeper in the twisties. It is so tossable and handles great.
  6. The wife and I drove 555 for the first time last weekend. It was amazing. We took 70 east to 13 to 669 or something like that. It was truly awesome and the GTI did amazingly well with the bilstein coilovers. I junked the upgraded front brakes due to the pull so the braking could have been better, and I was rubbing a bit under hard turns, but that will be fixed in the spring. I couldn't believe some of the blind hills, they were ass puckering for sure!

    2005 Audi A4

    Not true, being fwd makes it a 5 speed. I cant remember exactly when but i think the 04.5 and 05 1.8t quattro cars all got 6 speeds. I know for a fact they did get 6 speeds at end of cycle with 1.8t. Nice car bump. Ill let a friend know.

    Fwd or quattro bump. And I thought the 05s were 6 speeds
  9. I am assuming you are not saying that this is going to be the first time such a thing happens, but I might be assuming too much. Yes, happens every presidency.

    Ok, so what does it take to get into an Ipad? Amazon shows 400 in like new shape for 32gb wifi, is that about right?
  12. Hello, My wife has started a new job as a Hospital Administrator and is in need of a better organizer/planner solution. I was thinking about picking up a used Ipad for her, but I know nothing about them. Who uses their planner features? I imagine there are some good planner/organizer apps out there no? What Ipad should I get? I want to keep this cheap,, as in $200 but don't want to buy junk either. Let me know if I am expecting too much. Probably wouldn't need much storage, but would be nice to have internet capability, etc I know absolutely nothing about tablets, so school me. Also, and links to good deals would be great.
  13. Took me an hour and ten minutes to go 20 minutes. Luckily I know back roads or else it would have taken about 3 hours.
  14. 4 or 8 gauge amp kit JL audio subwoofer and amp Done I used JL 10w3s with a big fosgate amp and always had clear, hard hits. You can get the wiring online easily and the amp kits are easy to install usually.
  15. I am waiting on all his call outs to post up the outcomes.
  16. I wish I could have made it. I only have 3 days left of PTO (vacation/sick time) and I couldn't justify it.
  17. Looks like I wouldn't have been the slowest one had I went. lol

    vW forum?

    The golf tdi is a better car it is just more expensive, but the Jetta has more rear seat room and is cheaper.

    Isn't the new one a 2.0. Dumb jones.
  20. Agreed, maybe not to these extremes, but agreed.
  21. Came to post this. The black series is a car I would only weekend drive. Suspension is supposed to be very stiff. Unless it doesn't have the look he wants, but honestly a corvette doesn't exude a great image imo.
  22. I passed you coming home from the Alum creek dog park, you were just turning off Polaris in the Tundra. I honked, but kind of late. I can't make it today, unfortunately.

    It's ok to be scared. It would be quite embarrassing if you got worked by a stock Volkswagen.
