anyone here going to the volksport show? been to the last three and it's usually a great time!

[fuquar]

^^ When and where?

If the rain holds off, looks like it's supposed to be in the 50's on Sunday. That may be an opportune time to do some driving before it gets cold and snows again Monday/Tuesday...

yeah it cost me $72.00 to fill up the other day! can't wait to get the gti back up and running

You're going to spend a whole lot more than that this summer. Mods like yours tend to keep the foot mashed down on the pedal.

Some winter picks for ya'll.

Me and fugar were thinking Springfield when it gets warm possible and maybe we can have a cruise sometime as well

[1.8t gtilove]

hey i'll come on down to springfield. it's a nice little drive.

[Chalm]

Sweet. There is a Mexican joint that I ate at last week while I was down there. Can't remember where it was, or its name. All I know, is that it was good. It looked as if they bought the place from a 50's diner. I think it was accross the street from Kids-R-Us?

silver mk4 jetta?
does he usually have different wheels on than the ones that are on there now?
im pretty sure ive met him and im always amazed at how clean he keeps that car.
is he a teacher at the school?

i live right down the street from that school, across the street from Hillview

[1.8t gtilove]

PG GLI. and yes he's rockin his winter setup right now but usually has the bbe' on. he is super anal about the cleanliness of his car! which is good for me cause he details my car . he is a teacher there. pretty cool guy in general. and... i believe you guys did meet in the parking lot of target

[midwestjetta]

hahaha

yes, i am the target stalker

[1.8t gtilove]

if it wasn't for stalking how would we meet?!

my buddy thats working in CA that you met.......he used to have an old vw/porsche 914. not sure what ever happened to it. it was sitting in his garage last year.

[Chalm]

Is that your garage? Pretty pimp.

[midwestjetta]

its my best friends (more like brother) garage

thats where we do all the racecar stuff

[1.8t gtilove]

good morning and time to go to work!

[fuquar]

At least it's Friday.

Is it just me, or for the last couple of weeks, has it only snowed on Tuesday's and Thursday's?

[xDADEx]

LOL yeah it does seem like thats all it does every week... back in tennessee we would get snow maybe 4 or 5 times the whole year and thats talking like flurries not this inch or 2 stuff every week but i enjoy it especially in empty parking lots ill just play with the e-brake
