Hey all!

Back in June of 2018, my wife and I decided we'd like to have a car for various reasons. We set a budget and I found this gem. A single-owner 2015 Volkswagen GTI SE Coupe DSG in Reflex Silver Metallic, complete with performance, lighting, and other packages, with only 30K miles and bone stock. SOLD.

Being the gear head that I am, I found this forum and have been lurking ever since. Decided to finally make an account since I've been tinkering with the car a bit. Mods as of now are in my sig... pretty basic Stage 1+ so far. Probably will stay this way for the foreseeable future as well.














Looking forward to learning more about this great platform!

Congrats and welcome to the Vdub Community. I'm in Brooklyn also.

Damn really like this. I much prefer the 2dr to the 4dr but having a kid made that impossible for me. What part of bk are you in? I'm also in bk.

Maybe we need a Brooklyn meet? I know there was one in LI in Oceanside at a coffee shop called Caffeine. Maybe they will have one soon. It's in the regional forums of Vwvortex.

Who needs a car in Brooklyn?! Just kidding.
I used to live in Midwood, Bay Ridge, and Brighton Beach. Good to see a fellow Brooklynite here. Enjoy modding!

Funny thing is, 3 years ago when I moved here from Seattle, I thought the same thing. So, I sold my 2007 Pontiac G5.

3 years later, I now own this GTI, a Ducati, and a Triumph because no one drives in NYC. :rolleyes:

New Yorkers don't drive, they take leisurely motorized strolls. :)
As long as you are ok with NYC traffic, whatever makes you happy.
Props on that Triumph
