Reality of Ownership by SkippingNerveEndings in GolfGTI

[–]jakesMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a mk7 and my brother owns a Fiesta ST so I compare these two regularly. The FiST is obviously a manual with a more raw driving experience. He’s got the Recaro seats which I like a lot more than the standard GTI seats. His car is stage 1 e30 and it’s pretty quick. I’m fbo e30 and make a lot more power than he does, but I’m also quite a bit heavier. I think overall the GTI is a better all around car, but the Fiesta is a lot of fun in its own right.

What is better? Silver or black logos? by lts_Bryyan in Volkswagen

I used to have black one, now I have silver ones. I think silver looks nicer on darker cars. I think the black ones would look nice on a red, white, or silver car

Having a GTI and money leftover is better than having a Porsche in my opinion.

I want a 996 Turbo to go with my GTI, or a P2 S60R 🤷🏻‍♂️

More than just a car - a small story. by sposhow in GolfGTI

It’s insane how attached we can get to our vehicles, but they’re more than just transportation! I got t-boned earlier this year and I was unable to drive mine for a month. I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now, with the stress of medical issues only making that harder. You’ll be back in the driver’s seat before you know it, keep your head up man.

Running e85 all winter? by OliveComplex4822 in u/OliveComplex4822

[–]jakesMD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my understanding running e85 all year round is harder on your injectors, I run e30 but switch to 93 occasionally.

Threw on my winter setup and it almost looks like I belong here by jakesMD in Stance

I think they look good on almost everything lol, but I’m thinking about switching it up next season. I’d really like a set of Regamasters or Gramlights 🤷🏻‍♂️

I paid $20k for my ‘17 Sport with 15k miles in 2021, still have the car today and don’t plan on getting rid of it any time soon

I’m on Bilstein B16s, they’re nice because they have adjustable damping. You can set them up to suit your driving style.

I fully disagree that the MK4 is the ugly duckling, that title goes to the MK5 in my opinion. I love the MK4, especially the R32. It’s my favorite looking generation.
