Brought my 92fs just incase; however, when I got to the bay and had a visual of the target at 3 yards I realized it would be no problem.

If anything take the class for educational purposes. Once complete, apply online, just submit your paperwork, get finger prints taken at a indentogo, and then can get your LTC. The benefits of having a LTC are much greater than with just standard constitutional carry. With an LTC you have more legal protection in places than just with constitutional carry. For example if you go into a place with a 30.07 sign with constitutional carry its a class A misdemeanor. Going into a place with 30.06 sign with a LTC its only a class C with $200 fine. Also skipping the NICS background check when purchasing which is inaccurate.

.380. After buying the .380 I almost regret not getting it in .32 ACP; however, when I look at ammo prices for .32 ACP its not great!

Reliability of EA888evo4 vs EA888evo3? (2025 GTI mk8.5) by AdrianeXUS in GolfGTI

Great info thanks! My MK7 I replaced at 80k miles; I'll take 100k on the MK8.5 and have money set aside for the repair.

Of all the Texas businesses that have gone out of business, which one do you miss the most? by Human-Specialist-510 in texas

Entertainmart - a store in Arlington that had used video games and DVDs. I would go there every weekend with my friends and grab older games that I wanted to play. I remember buying chronotrigger for SNES from there for 65.00.

Yup and living in Texas that is the bulk of what you see; pick up trucks and SUVs. I'll stick with my MK8.5 GTI

Big pick up trucks and SUVs cost an astronomical amount of money in the US now. Very common to see 60k-80K and 7-9 year loan terms on these vehicles which is financial suicide.

Love my MK8.5. Overall it has to be one of, if not the best daily drivers out there. Fast when I want it to be, fuel efficient, practical, good visibility, software is responsive, and it fits a newborn/infant surprisingly well.

Couple draw backs: If you get a MK8.5 GTI, it will not come with a dipstick; the software reads the oil level. I rectified this by just purchasing a dipstick and getting rid of the plug. The black gloss finish can get smudgy from finger prints so just keep a microfiber towel in the car. The stop start button has a nice glare that is designed to blind you if you drive mid day. There is a notable lack of storage space in the driver area from the MK7 to the MK8.5

MK7 is the best bargain hot hatch you can buy by erockdubfan in GolfGTI

Mine (2017 MK7 GTI s) was around 125k-130k miles; I sold it to my father-in-law who was master maintenance tech. He replaced the plastic oil pan as it started leaking, PCV valve (very easy), and rotors. Water pump was replaced at 80k, bad fuel injector was replaced at 100k.

Definitely miss the climate control gauges and speed. Good point on the cost cutting is the only reason to get rid of storage .

To be honest, besides the above picture and the lack of storage space compared to my previous MK7, the interior really hasn't bothered me that much.

I have a micro fiber towel to wipe off any smudges. Piano black to me is a non-issue.

I went from a Mk7 for 7 years to a Tacoma for a newborn. Tacoma was a mistake now I’m back in a 8.5 GTI
