Could try the poor look instead. If it's around lunch time, offer them half your PB&J. LOL

That is sharp!

The upper and lower wings would look good on a CTR. If I get one, I'll look for a way to tone it down a bit I think.

i saw a white civic HB like the one shinjari has and it’s a nice looking ride.

don’t those crazy looking parts on the CTR actually function? that said would it be wise to alter the aero bits just for aesthetics? id leave it alone even if the car looks like a space probe. lol

She take it on the interstate? That's when our Golf malfunctions.

Indirect tire pressure monitoring is total BS.

I had indirect on my MINI & now on my GTI. I've never had an issue with either. Guess I'm a lucky guy.

Do any extended high speed driving? Our Golf is fine until we get a couple hours into a 70+ mph drive.

Problem is that you don't want to ignore it, but it seems to be pretty consistent that it will fault with sustained high speeds.

it dont seem to matter. it comes on while on surface roads too. i asked if it was raining and if the car slipped a little but nope. didnt come on after that.

my vw's use the same type, no issue on my cars.

i noted this am my dealer left a vm on my house phone letting me know dat the new Golf-R's are coming in next week and wanted to see if id be interested in trading in my GTI for the upgrade.

oh im interested, but still not 100% committed on the idea as its all wants and not needs. with the slow surface road commute im doing now, even the GTI has too much power.. an abarth would be more entertaining imho.. these first world decisions are tuff

Yeah the CTR Aero's have a purpose. I just like that lower spoiler to add some to the civic...but its not critical....like your Golf-R decision....all wants, not needs.

Happy hump day.

Nvidia is being a pain about my missing shipment. Been over a week since they opened an investigation...its pretty straight forward....fedex lost it one way or the other. ><

Got to work today and the new front gate guard gave me "your front window tint is illegal" BS. I just nodded and smiled and continued in to work.

Well since I work on a US Military Base....they technically are lol. Just don't think that is the scope of their work. He was new and is all gung-ho.

Maybe he got busted for the same 'illegal' tint on his ride and is now on a rampage ensuring NO ONE can have it.

Lets be honest...he's just jealous of my hot hatch hahaha

It’s the same mentality as the dreaded internet grammar nazi. He has no other way to assert himself.

finally home! was a super long short day.

anyway enjoyed my icecream just now, waiting for my wife to come home with burrito's. woooot!

my buddy at work put down some cash to hold the blue Golf-R coming in real soon to his dealer. he said he'll let me drive it when he gets it. very cool. want to see how different 7sp DSG is vs my 6sp DSG in the GTI.
