Hello Everyone

Hi! I'm Rainier.

At first I was like:

1997 GTI VR6. Was my first Euro, got it in January of 2010.Took me from here to Kentucky, down to Alabama, up to New Hampshire and everywhere in between. Brian and I checkered the hood shortly after I got it, and put it on some Eibach Lowering springs.Then the coilpack and ignition switch simultaneously went out. Couldn't really diagnose it, so it took it's one trip to a shop. In December of 2010, I put coilovers on it. The next couple months, I did the swiss cheese airbox mod, got a TT chip for it, and it went through a series of lips and grilles and oilpans. July of 2011, I textured the rub strips and grill and bumper tops. That's what this picture was from. Clutch went out in July as well. That's when it went downhill. Didn't really have time to fix it myself as I was working 75+ hours a week. It got done, but took three months, did the wheel bearings and tierods at the same time, but kept getting the wrong parts which delayed the process. Coilpack went out again in October. Final straw was the hood came unlatched and flew up to cover the windshield while I was driving. I swerved and almost hit a truck head on. Sold it in December of 2011.

And then I was like

Audi 4000s I bought in March of 2011 for 300 bucks. Drove if for about a month off and on. Had a lot of problems. It stopped running, and free time again became a factor in it's repair. Sold it to some Russians who hauled it off in a flatbed in October of 2011. Kept the Ronal R8's. Great Success.

And now I'm like:

Girl Jetta I bought in December from a friend. Put the coilovers from my GTI on it. 2.0 engine kills me. It does run pretty good though. Definitely selling it as soon as my wagon runs though.

Hopefully in the next week I'll be like

Audi A6 Avant I bought from a milfy lady in June. Bought it not running. Traded a Mercury Sable wagon I bought for 1500 bucks for it. Was told it just needed new head gaskets... Wrong! The heads were Fubar'd. Time and money became a factor. Took the heads in to get fixed and am finally getting around to putting it all back together.

From the right angle and right after a fresh wash, yes.

It was a good car. I really miss it. It just all started crapping out at one time and wasn't practical to keep anymore.

I like your first two "you were likes" Thanks for being a part of the Forum Rainier!

it broke down cause you checkered the hood
