Hello. I'm Mil. I saw Marshall's post and decided to write my own. I had nothing but subarus for a while until I decided to get a TDI to do some long distance traveling during my medical training. I really like long road trips.
Shortly after medical school, I packed up and left sunny California for upstate NY. I'm originally from TX, so I'd never really seen snow. Snow is in no short supply up here, and as soon as I found out I got the job, I traded my dieselgate TDI wagon (which I loved. I really really loved that car. It was amazing that I could get from SF to LA on a single tank of gas.) and picked up a white ALLTRACK SEL.
Current Picture:
Current Modifications
Rallyarmor Flaps
APR STG 1 software update
Window tint 30% 3M tint (will likely have to rip off and reapply when I get it inspected for NY next year. UGH)
DeAutoKey LED reverse lights
hard wired V1 Radar Detector (this thing has been through 15 years with me)
Yakima Whispbar roof rack
Stuff I have laying around waiting to install:
Forge Intake (pending install)
IS38 turbo (pending install)
APR Downpipe (pending install)
here's the old TDI pretending it was an alltrack. I did neutral support for a brutal muddy gravel bicycle race. I got stuck a little bit with an open differential but I made it eventually!
apart from working way too many hours as a medical student, and now as a resident, I've also managed to get into a lot of fun. I had a youtube channel with some motorcycle trip and ride videos, and I like motorcycle touring! I've sold this one, and I miss it dearly!
And right now I'm rebuilding an old repli-racer Kawasaki GPZ550: basically rebuild as a modern day "resto-mod" with new gen era parts on it and a lightly worked up engine.
and before that I had a string of Suzuki SV650s
