    Hook it up with a test drive, maybe I'll replace the van with that for my daily driver.

    Dude! DON'T BUY THAT CAR. It just returned to our dealership after sitting at an auction place where it didn't sell. Biggest lemon in the world. I think we've had it for a year or 2.

    Tell the dealership I'll give them 3 grand for it and they can take the loss. Other than that, Im sorry to say but the inventory is boooooring.

    that's how I go home but not at that time of day, otherwise it fits profile of my car... did it have a bike rack faring and a europlate? plus I am really not sure if I drove the car that day or not...

    Today 12:10, I saw a 4 door Reflex Silver MkV GTI on Detroit rims heading west on 14 right by past Lake St and before 47 in Woodstock. It had the HID DRL's on.

    2:10, I saw a black MkIV GLI with the BBS RC's and it was clean heading west on 14 just past McHenry Ave in Crystal Lake. Pretty sure it's the one kid I know of that goes to MCC.

    6:15, a Sage Green MkV Rabbit with steel wheels and hubcaps heading east on 14 right by MCC. I've seen you numerous times in Woodstock area.

    I figured as much. Maybe it was the mirror being busted off.

    I still haven't got this **** figured out, hopefully I'll get the mail today that I'm waiting for and be able to fax it back over to get the car in the shop.

    Ah, forgot to post up my spotting today.

    5:15ish in the evening. United Gray 2 door (I'm 99% sure, wasn't paying attention all the way) MkV GTI with the Denver rims. You were in Huntley on Haligus Rd. right by Main St.

    no, i graduated from warren in '06, most of my friends are from the grayslake area though. uhh...does stover and manjerras ring a bell? i hang out with them every once in a while. i also hang out with Gianneschi, vela, and a few others. none of them drive dubs, so im kinda S.O.L. i have been tryin to find a few people around the area but school and work take over my life right now...shi_tty


    spotted: 4:30ish hainesville and 120 04.5 pg gli heading west on 120


  28. 03-19-2008 07:59 PM #63
    10:00am today, I saw a black Scirroco on 47N turning onto 14 east (Woodstock).

    6:30pm, I saw a black MkIV Jetta heading north on 47 right by the Jewel in Woodstock. It had Longbeach rims on it.
