New Car!

[sundownz 197]

Got a new car today... been wanting one for a while so pulled the trigger. Picked up a 2006 VW GTI 2.0T today

Okay, so it's not NEW per-se... but it does look new, and it's new to me!

It's time that I went back to a hatch-back vehicle to make me really happy again

Pics soon! Once I get settled into the new Sundown warehouse in the coming weeks I'll start on the system.

[loudcav 1]

Nice car Jacob...but anything Volkswagon is expensive to maintain... I work for Budget Rent A

Car and we deal with the VW dealership and a lot of their customers tell me their bills are well over $800 for routine maintenance.

Nice car though and Congrats, did you get rid of the Honda, or do you still have it?

[vladd 26]

pshaw do routine maintenance yourself.

nice car, look forward to seeing what you put in it

So, I guess they finally offered you a satisfactory price on trade in for the Honda?

[sundownz 197]

Yep, they gave me exactly what I wanted Honda was indeed traded in -- some lucky dude is going to get four runs of Tara Labs speaker wire with his new Civic LX.

I also bought an extended warranty to 100k miles -- it currently has 45k miles. It was a local trade-in from an Army guy that drove it to Fayetteville and back alot -- his wife made him get a bigger car for the kids, car had full maintenance history at the same dealer I got it from so that was a plus too. Car looks nearly new inside and out still.

I'll get some pics shortly

[vladd 26]

wouldn't the tara labs wire be worth about as much as the car??

Hehe, if it was the high-end stuff it would be My runs are worth around 100 bucks... but I really didn't feel like un-routing those things and I still have around 150 feet of it left so I'm good!

It looks almost like brand new -- and I have a warranty, so I'm good to go

I won't own a European car without warranty anymore after my BMW 325i Power Steering incident. Love the cars... but damn, parts are expensive.

I am sure you will have fun extracting some serious power out of that motor.

Jacob, are you keeping the SD-1's in there? I've got a new box for 2 10's if you wanna try it out, it's pretty small, but seems to perform well.

I'll probably use 2-4 SD-1 v.2s or 4-6 of the new 8s when they come in

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

You had me at hello, until I saw the auto.
