lol, thanks. I said Jb4, minutes later: Poof! Diggs appears.
it was sort of a self imposed exile. Can't quit you baby, gotta put you down for a while...
I got a PM one night from a humorless see you next time former member who had just rejoined and had a hate on for me. A couple hours later got a PM from one of the mods asking me to contribute the good advice but stop being such an asshat... maybe it was better diplospeak, I don't remember. I guess I figured I was funny enough that the mods more or less tolerated my shenanigans. They did for a while. Realistically, I needed to get back to adulting for a while. Tapatalk woke me up at like, 4am. I enjoyed making memes in response within minutes of a post a bit too much.... I had a problem.
Anyway- I'm thinking rather than pouring money into the faithful and well maintained non winter driven GTI, why don't I go buy a former rental stripper model dad bod chasis with a smaller displacement engine, murder it out, add some hot pink underglow and put it into the 11s?
What I'll miss about the GTI: GTI is beautiful to me still. Aesthetically she's still the perfect hatchback. The GTI is so much better looking than the R. The steering wheel is dope. The accent lighting inside still impresses every first time passenger. The headlights rock (the motors are stupid and something else to eventually break, but the beam pattern and high beams are awesome). Handles lovely. The catholic schoolgirl seats still make me erect. It's fun to roll race muscle cars and make them very very sad.
What don't I like? She's a fat ass. DCC stops me from upgrading the suspension. ACC stops me from upgrading the IC. The ride height stops me from wanting to snow drive her like muh deezul. Automatic everything down to the wiper blades is heavy. I want to stick a key in an ignition.
n54tuning, the local-ish BMS distributor also sells corn ejaculate by the 30 gallon barrel, and he'll deliver to me. I'd like corn semen and an is38 in a wagon with fake plastic spinners.... or a wood grain on green wrap.... something assholey enough for me.
Would it be better to be a 2018 over a 2019 for tuning options? If I can use the corn semen with a JB4 tune on top of a Uni or APR tune, is that the best I can do?
