    Wookies in the Woods

    Dear Golf R folks, I'm getting excited about www.wookiesinthewoods.com and I've already started a packing list. What is on your packing list that you always take on a long drive through the mountains at perfectly reasonable speeds?

    Tire Recs

    Last night I got a flat in my driver's side tire. I probably need to replace at least the front 2, but would consider 4 if I found a Labor Day sale. I'm trying to replace my OEM '17 R tires - 235/35/19. Any recommendations coupled with deals you see? Thanks!

    JB4 Thoughts Requested

    Just put on the JB4 and will be fiddling with it soon. Had to reset the bluetooth connection as I purchased it second hand. Any tips from the community? I believe Map 2 is a good starting place and then I move to Map 6 after I have done some data logging and send it to George? Would love to...

    Wookies in the Woods Review

    Hey Folks, I just want to give a non-paid shout out to the Wookies in the Woods folks. It was my first time. (And yes, I had an "oh shit" moment or two) I had a blast though and ultimately a very safe time. It was such a joy to be on a road that seemed purpose built for the R. Mine is bone...

    Golf as a "Borderline Supercar"

    There is a thread right now about a GTI vs. R that broached the subject of the R being a Borderline Supercar. To not highjack that thread, I'd like to talk about it here. I would make the case that the R is decidedly NOT a borderline supercar. Clearly, the R is a great car. It is fast...

    Golf R 2017 windshield replacement - AMA

    I have a 17 R (US) and caught a rock in the windshield. I have been frustrated with the process of the repair so I thought I would share for everyone's benefit. 1) You have to get your lane departure system recalibrated. This is difficult and expensive. I would only use a trusted dealer. 2)...

    Flat Tire

    I just got a flat tire. Grr. I have 9500 miles on my R. Do I need to replace all four? What can I get away with, while keeping my ride safe.

    Cars and Coffee Experiences

    I'm planning on going to the local event in New Orleans in a couple of weeks. I like both, cars and coffee - so I'm going. I plan on cleaning the car up nice beforehand and trying to find some parking buddies. What do I have to expect though? What have your experiences been like?

    Soon...

    Saturday I buy a slightly used 2017 Golf R. I've had a gap in my respectable car ownership and cannot wait to get this puppy on the road. I'm definitely posting pictures later. She is oryx white, has no front bumper license plate, under 7K in miles and is all mine - except when my wife needs...

    Golf R Pricing - Avoid Leesburg Volkswagen in Florida

    Friendly PSA for all of y'all shopping R's. I got a quote from Leesburg, Volkswagen regarding their black DSG R that was listed online for $36,615 (and you could even get it at 36,115 if you were a recent college grad). The sales person there quoted me at an OTD price at 6% sales tax and TT&L...
