I'm only lying a little....I did get a Juke....as a trade-in. Not for my daily driver...This one has the damn CVT transmission. I will say I took it for a quick ride this morning, not bad, with the exception of the annoying CVT. You know in Hebrew, Juke means "Cockroach"?

I started shopping for mods already and noticed it said "dealers are welcome" on their website, ended up calling them up, set up a distributor account with them so I can save a little money on the mods, becoming the only distributor for them in my Metro area...Anyone need some Neuspeed/Neumann Engineering Parts?
That means it's either Honda/Acura/Mini/VW/Audi.

Unfortunately no Vagon, it's too much car for me right now (in more ways than one)...I ordered Intake/Exhaust/Springs, as well as a turbo heat shield and some piping to let the intercooler to throttle body and turbo to intercooler breathe a little better...So you know it's a turbo and intercooled...

Not sure if it is applicable or not at this point, but the A3 wasn't an option in the original poll.

I got a confirmation that it came in on Saturday. I asked to take delivery early next week because I needed time to change my car back and I am a bit busy at work this week, so my time is limited. I hope to pick it up on Tuesday. That's the "official" day my lease is up anyway, and it's also my anniversary, so I consider it a somewhat 'good luck' day for me as a result, figured I would take advantage of that!

Is Shoofin asking for his own Three-Word-Story thread?
