Man that GK paint sounds like a real pain. What color? Is it single stage?
Yeah I can't believe its May already and can't believe some of you guys are still driving your 'winter' cars this late in the year.

Kenchan - STI seems like a good weather car based on frequency of use vs Golf-R during the winter. You mention anime voice actor....you a big anime guy?
Mike410b - yeah, just saying the Fit/GE will get less use and the 'summer' car is awake from hibernation Nice new sig pic btw.

i drive both the STI and R all yr round. i was just waiting for salt to wash away since i already washed the R’s undercarriage several weeks ago. looked at the STI’s undercarriage the other day and looked clean so will only wash the engine bay next time.
nono, i’m not an anime guy at all. lol.

Thanks! My friend bought a Canon AE1 over the winter, so he's been using my car to practice on.

But if I don't love the Corolla, CSi & Fit are perfectly acceptable.
If the Civic sedan didn't have those HUGE vents in the rear bumper I'd be much more likely to do it haha

sounds like a plan.
i saw a new IS350F yesterday and while they look fugly on paper it actually looked alright.
not that i’m going to get one, just thought i’d put it out there.
for me to get the car, it needs something more special than just a pretty interior.

alright, got gas on the way home in the GTI. had fun driving the GTI today cause the temp was 84F and the S04's were gripping as they should. psi was a bit too high though as the ride got increasing harsh as i drove home.
anyway, got home and decided to do the inner glass on my R and STI today in the garage. it's too windy outside to do my GTI. dont want dust and crap inside my ride while cleaning the glass, especially being dark leather and all.
i REALLY LIKE cleaning the rear glass on hatchbacks cause i can do it with the gate open. the worst was my G coupe i had a while back.. i had to literally fold the rear seats down and roll on my back to wipe the rear inner glass clean. wtf it was a huge task especially on a hot day. the STI isnt nearly as bad, but still a pita. i like my glass crystal clear so i use multiple towels and lots of Griot's WindowCleaner (basically rubbing alcohol + distilled water).
also checked up on the GK's touch up i did yesterday. so far no cracks or lifting on the paint surrounding the work i did. might hold up. not sure, will see.
since the drive home in the GTI was kinda fun today, i decided to renew the plates. i might still buy a DSG-R later this year to replace but not 100% sure right now. will see how things go. wish i had more parking space..
