H&R has their Mt. Baker cruise coming up on August 17th. I went 6 or 7 years ago and it was a pretty good time. Thinking of going with the wife & kid if the weather is nice.

Some details on their facebook page:

Thank Clem

Saw you got the BFI stage one mounts installed, one day I want to check out the vibration and see if I can tell how much of a difference it is from stock.

Hi everyone,

Just picked up my 16' GTI today. I'd like to start off by saying I've been lurking in the forum for awhile and everybody seems very nice here. I look forward to one day meeting all of you up the upcoming car meets.

Anyways, I was wondering when you guys got your car, did you get any discounts for your insurance licenses from having the front assist (forward collision warning?)

A buddy of mine told me about this when he picked up his Mazda3 recently. He got about 10% discount for having a similar feature in his car.

As a fellow chinese guy I want to say hello and welcome, you will find alot of useful info in this forums. My car doesnt have DAP so I can't answer your question unfortunately.

When I bought my 2018 I didn't get the DAP package, extra $1600 or $1800 I think. With all the changes made by ICBC you now get a discount if you have driver assistance aids. But even with the discount it would have taken years of that "discount" from ICBC to make up the extra I would have paid for the DAP option.

Got the discount but it only slightly ate into the increase due to the new “list all drivers” system. They factored my history (very clean) for 75% and the least experienced driver (daughter with N) for 25%.

Annual premium up around $360...
