Dear kind soul,

I never imagined that I’d find myself in such a situation, reaching out with a humble request, but here I am, humbled by circumstances beyond my control. You see, my beloved MK8 is more than just a car to me; it’s a symbol of hope in what has been an incredibly challenging time.

Just months ago, I lost my job. Since then, every day has been a struggle, trying to stay afloat while holding on to the one thing that brings me solace—my MK8. It’s been the one constant in my life, a faithful companion on countless road trips and the one place where I can still find peace amidst the chaos.

But recently, a cruel twist of fate left my tail lights shattered. I cried that day, not because of the broken lights, but because it felt like the universe was taking away the last bit of joy I had. Replacing them seemed impossible, given my financial situation. Every penny I make now goes towards rent, bills, and just surviving.

When I saw that you might have a set of MK8 tail lights, I knew I had to reach out. I understand you could sell them for far more than $3, but I’m asking—pleading—for your kindness. I don’t need anything fancy or perfect, just something to keep my car street legal and my heart a little less heavy.

If you could find it in your heart to part with those tail lights for $3, I would be forever grateful. It’s not just a car part to me—it’s a little piece of hope. Thank you for considering this, and know that your act of kindness would mean the world to someone who desperately needs it right now.

With sincere hope, Jay

i dont think i ever claimed NOT losing money on my cars - i've lost SHIT TONS of money on them! But from car to car with all of my shifts, generally tracking stuff, it hasn't been as horrendous as one might think lol. Or at least i get enough money back when selling the car that i dont feel totally underwater on the deal

Let's not forget I had that brief moment a few weeks ago where I heavily considered going to that 95 Eclipse GSX on BAT...

I plead the fifth. Simply because Texas has some very flat and smooth roads. I will share however if you go fast enough, the front end will get very light and the steering lightness feel reflects that. That's where I lift but I wont say what speed that was. Curious to see how the new front splitter will help that.
It was ~170 for me. Allegedly

only ~140 on a "closed course" and definitely not a public roadway racing a friend's new mk8. Scary, but then subsequent instances weren't nearly so bad with better tire. ECS02s were a good call.

Tbh I'm a little concerned the front splitter might let go, it's not the competition one (though now that we're talking about it maybe it should be)

I bought a '94 MX-3 with a BP 1.8 from a Miata turned the wrong direction and there's not really any safe places to lift the car at this point. oh and apparently what we thought were leaking valve seals turned out to be a head gasket.

We're full of bad decisions around here
