   Topic: My New Baby
Posted: 30/March/2007 at 6:07pm |
Well... Here it is in all it's glory... my new 2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLI 1.8 Turbo. Has 18" BBS rims w/ low profile tires, turbo engine, sports suspension, lowered to the ground etc. etc. This thing is one mean machine, and I was tearing it up on the drive back up while my wife was sleeping in the passenger seat. I got up to 110mph coming up I-75 in Florida.

Love it. Carbon fiber steering wheel? Why an automatic?
Best of luck with her, man.

It's not carbon fiber... just looks that way in the picture. It's actually leather wrapped. As for the automatic... I don't really know how to drive stick, nor do I want to. The idea of having to shift that crap all the time bothers me. I like turning the car on and just mashing the accelerator. I know I'm giving up some performance, but It's worth it IMHO.

When I saw "new baby" I literally thought you had a "new baby." Silly me.
I'd hate to see a little Pshielding infant crawling around the house.
Oh, congrats on the car though, she's a beauty!  |

That dirt was removed right after the pics were taken... it came from a damn zoo my wife dragged me to. She was dying to go to a zoo, and that was the price I had to pay for her coming with me to buy this car.

yeh, i know someone who has the car in the same color. you get a pretty decent car for the price. I think i like the look of the new jetta better though. i drive an audi a4 with the 2.0T engine. VW knows how to pump HP out of those 4 cyliders.

Thats the other car I was considering... the a4 2.0T. I like the look of this model jetta over any other car though.
