P.S. Love the new wheels and color choice. They cleaned up amazingly. The choice in accent color was spot on as well. Love the orange.

Awe did I erase your wm? I didn't even see it. I added my name to the top and left the wm I saw.

New watermark is great though. Ill have to take notes.

Clearly you got dangerously close to wee dittle dittle but it works in the end. That's what matters. Love the choice of font too... very 1996 of you.

I love how my face is right smack in the middle of the O.
Jon, you're missing a pretty fun convo in ramblings as a background to that.

Sooo, took my non VR 70-300 with me today and got some cool shots in a location I don't normally visit. Had to drop some materials off at the contractor's site...

Pretty cool! Obviously not as crisp as my F1.8 but still not bad

LOL, oddly enough, shooting in front of the prison wasn't that big a deal...I was more nervous about going in through the OUT gate at the bus maintenance lot where it said do not enter. I parked between a row and only had the 70-300 meaning I'd have to stand pretty far to shoot...shot a few and got the heck out of there before security was alerted.

I had my work badge which generally gives me access to be on most properties, but since I was on work time and not doing work, I decided to put it away.

Those wheels look so much better than the Volks did and I thought they looked great.

Thank you, Steven Bell! I appreciate it, man.

Today, I started to install my rear camber kits...the balljoints didn't want to pop out...took it as a sign to just leave it at natural camber, which I predict is about -2.5 degrees...either way, I don't drive much and I'd run into some clearance issues if I attempted to run the oem wheels with the 20mm rear spacer.

Your car looks like a blast to drive and has the looks to back it up. You've done good, buddy!

Thanks a lot, Adam!
I actually thought of you the other day...cousin bought himself a 2010 GTI Coupe, 6MT...fun little car to drive, felt solid as heck. I see why you went German. I'm sure he'd have loved the R, but he's on a budget.

It went really smoothly, since I emailed the camber kit seller and asked for an RMA for return.
