after a few months you'll get used to the payment...
but yeah, don't do anything drastic until you're comfortable.
Kiler, that's Killer, man.

Don't have any pictures, but someone in my work parking garage (of course no camera) scraped the rear driver side door and the panel behind it. Took it to the shop and it's looking like about $2000 in damage. Mostly cosmetic and nothing major was damaged, but it's still super annoying.

Hoping to get the car back next Friday. Until then, I have a Cadillac XT5 rental.

rockstar143 11-21-2018 07:48 AM

A bump in the road...
annoying as hell.

Majofo 11-21-2018 08:14 AM

It's just a Jetta Kurt, get over it!

rockstar143 11-21-2018 08:23 AM

well timed jokes kill!

It will buff out.

Finally got around to cleaning her, even though it's supposed to rain all next week :bored:

Still my absolute dream car. Fun to drive, not too flashy. She needs tints, which is my next big thing for the time being. I bought her used, so the carwash swirls pre-date my ownership, but that's fine.

No it's not, no excuses
J and MM respect your even less now

cu2wagon 04-27-2019 02:01 PM

I think it's cute that Kurt's dream car is a Passat.

That's perfect!

Midnight Mystery 04-27-2019 05:01 PM

Atleast Kurt has what he wants even if what he wants is modest!


No tint yet? :hungover: How long have you had this car? FFS Kurt!

So what, you were going to wait even longer? FFS Kurt!

rockstar143 04-27-2019 07:14 PM

Sexy bitch...
curious...why does your brake caliper just have "S" and no 4? Is it because they use them for various models?
and for the black, shoot that shit at dusk.
Use something like Wolfgang's deep gloss sealant...it will give it such a shine it'll kind of hide the swirls.
People used to ask if I had gotten the TL repainted when I'd first apply it.

kurtatx 04-27-2019 10:01 PM

I honestly have no idea why there is just an "S" and no 4. I don't know that they reuse them on other models

Midnight Mystery 04-27-2019 10:16 PM

Kurt... I have to ask.... What did the Jetta replace?

kurtatx 04-27-2019 10:21 PM

Jetta

kurtatx 04-27-2019 10:21 PM

Before that I had a TSX for about 5 years

It was a new 13 red. I4. Over all it was pretty nice. Just wrong wheel drive for Texas. Before that I had a B8 A4 I bought used out of college. loved that car but it was a few years old and had issues.

Sticking with the Audi brand, but a member of the Acua family! Awesome!


Like I've said a million times before... I drove a 2010 VW CC and loved it! If it weren't for the questable reliability I'd have one right now!


That 2.0T DCT combo is priceless! So much power for what it is!

JS + XES 04-28-2019 01:01 AM

The car looks lovely but you need to get it detailed by a professional asap. Those swirls are horrible!

Go check out my car thread, then...

rockstar143 04-28-2019 06:47 AM

I forgot to correct you somewhere, Wes...
mine has a 3 liter Supercharger...
I believe Kurt has the newer 3 liter turbah.

rockstar143 04-28-2019 08:29 AM

Majofo 04-28-2019 10:45 AM

Shit I forgot Kurt has da turbo
You need a tune fool

Also.. I didn't hate the fishbowl look
I like it

llumar or 3M ceramic tintsss would be ace tho

cu2wagon 04-28-2019 10:48 AM

I can't do it. It needs tints. All cars need tints.

How else do you expect to keep people from seeing your GameCube Nintendo?

TintS!

That's the plan. They're getting installed Wednesday.

Any recommendation for percentages? I'm inclined to stick with legal front and 25 in the back.

cu2wagon 04-28-2019 10:55 AM

20ish all around. IMO.

But ceramic most importantly.

Majofo 04-28-2019 10:58 AM

Get on your Marathon 'til you bruise ya feet
Or run the streets 'til the reverend write ya eulogy
Fishbowl in the six with all my jewelry
'Cause I heard my haters is supposed to be shooting me
I'll never let a broke bitch influence me
Slauson Ave, getting money and the proof is me

Majofo 04-28-2019 11:01 AM

Uh, what you think a real ninja rap for?
So I can roll around in a RAV4? Never that
Cadillac pimped out, fish bowl, true vogues
Fifteens, but I had to go and get two mo'

New law is bullshit
I'd do 25 / 20

I had 10 / 5 on the TL when that was legal

:pimp:

I really liked 5, but I know you ain't bout that life
Hide all of Enzo's nose marks
:O

Bro.. 25 is the new law for fronts
Unlimited in the rear, like Kurt's ass

Well, if he's gonna be all Kurt about it...

I'm well aware of the law, but I still say 20. Or perhaps see if the shop will use the darker half of the 25 roll... :ninja:
