What did you do to your mk7 today?

I believe the idea here is that the tank-mounted pump uses fuel for cooling, but I could be mistaken. In any case, I tend to fill up at about a quarter tank, I figure I'm going to get gas at some point anyway, so I may as well do it before it's an emergency.

I just like to visit the gas station as little as possible and have never had a fuel pump issue from my bad practices.

Makes sense. My GTI got hit less than 3 months after I took ownership of it at a gas station, so I try to avoid being there when it's busy. It seems like everyone's in a rush these days

I wind up filling up at least one of my vehicles a week, but I also do a fair amount of traveling for work. The real struggle is not putting tons of mileage on the GTI, it's an absolute joy to drive but I don't want to pile on the miles for business when I could pile them on for pleasure.

First time dropping my GTI off at the dealer for warranty work. 1 hour later there and a ton of severe weather and hail moved into the area. It rarely sees rain since I park it in the garage so I’m hoping she’s safe.

Not to alarm you, but the roof of my GTI did not fare well in a hail storm last summer. There is only one dent in the hood but more than a dozen on the roof.

Here is a picture that captures hail bouncing off my car:

If you zoom in, look at the bricks between the garage doors at the house on the left, across the street. Then pan down to my car and see the lump of ice bouncing in the air. You can see the splash right under it.
I just happened to be working at that house that day, which is farther away than I usually have to go. What luck!

You told me that yours was sagging but I didn't say anything about mine but yes it's sagging. So I used a black zip tie and looped it through the ECS intake and the factory part that remains and it supports it. Don't really notice the zip tie. It has helped my hot weather performance a lot.

Ahhhh I think I remember you saying you weren’t sagging! But I think you said it wasn’t sagging due to the zip tie

put about 6 cars on some shitty charger that thought passing meant surprise race/refuse your lane entry. Dude's girlfriend was making fun of him at the next light.

Just got back from a much needed vacation and decided to finally throw the rears on. I still need to make some more adjustments with the fronts and let it sit overnight to make sure I don’t have any leaks.

I can still see a piece of the rim, I don't think it's low enough.

With the MK6 kit you could trim the bracket and make the rears lower. The good old days!

Right it's not sagging because of the zip tie.

...and it gets the hot-rock massage again.
