Nice collection, love the old W124 verts, a design that's aged pretty well.

I found a critical design flaw in the Golf. This is an absolute game changer that everyone who is considering one of these needs to know about. The problem is with this part of the car:





If you put your phone in there and launch the car, it goes flying into the back seat.

You've been warned.

VW will call it a 'feature' since it prevents phone use while driving.

Phone doesn't fit sideways, phone too big/slot too small (giggity)! And if the door is closed I can't charge it. #firstworldproblems

Drill a 1” hole through that cover and slip the cable through. Charging issues solved!

Or...and hear me out on this...I just put it in the cup holder and call it good.

and agree, a Solara isn't fast enough to outrun a glacier let alone throw a phone back.

Downgraded from a Golf R to a Golf S for the winter. Probably going to get a few more unsuspecting victims looking like this.

Oh I'll definitely be getting different winter (and probably summer) wheels as soon as these tires wear out. I couldn't pass up just running the set of Blizzaks I already have that fit just fine and I got a steal on the wheels too (basically free) so it made sense to go as is.

I must say though, driving on 2" small diameter snow tires is FAR more comfortable than 19" summer tires...

Golf 1.4T S to Golf R conversion is complete! Back to summer mode now. Now this thing just needs a good bath and it'll be ready to play hard.

it just seems like it would be something hard to give up.

Welp, the economy hatchback just past 10k miles last night. It was on a trip to get this:

2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with 18400 (yup, not a typo) miles. This came from a guy who bought this thing new to keep at his "vacation home" in Arizona and never drove it much. He brought it up here when he sold the place and continued to not drive it much. It's basically brand new, never been off road (lol, this will change), and even still smells new on the inside. Came with a 3" Mopar lift with Fox Racing remote reservoir shocks. Currently riding on 35" mud terrain tires which are getting swapped out ASAP for some BFG KO2's since the MT's ride and sound like a freight train.

Bonus Finn content.











I figured that my cars didn't really need different threads, I don't post enough mods and stuff to make it worthwhile.
