    Well I avoid potholes at all costs so it wasnt that. I do drive very... um well, I "drive" my car to its point some times as does the other person who blew their FKs. Not sure how u drive or how hard u push our car but FKs cant keep up with me.

    i have been driving her a lot lately, love this car so much...i have put more miles on her in the last 3 weeks than i have in the last 2.5 years of ownership...i know put the bumpers back on,i had to remove the front again to get her on the alignment rack, and i took off the oettingers so no damage would occur...few pics of my ****ty mk2 daily as welllove the new exhaust note as well.and forgive my rear bumper fitment, i had my euro one on earlier as well...deciding which i like better/.

    It made it to the street! That is a lot of mileage.

    How do you put miles on a car that is not registered?

    What's so special about this?

    Low miles and not totally destroyed? It's not like it's a rare car either way.

    Time to drop it on air.

    the fact that everyone that sees it including techs who work at a porsche garage tell me its immaculate, and the fact you cant find another in this color and condition i guess makes it special.also the fact that i have every gas reciept, service record, window tag from delivery date makes it also a notable example.

    i guess at the end of the day, there is no other car id rather be spending my hard earned cash on.

    if you had a tech crash one of your cars , you would understand why i remove the plates...i registered it exactly 2 years ago today.Plates and bumpers are back on her now.
    well just the rear plate, no need for the front one to be on, i keep it in my glove box.

    Here is a solution, learn how to work on your own car. And you are paranoid. Its just a stock Golf, get over it boss.

    its not a stock golf, i am paranoid, with good reason to be, and i do work on my car, but im not a tech, and its best to leave some jobs to people who are trained to do it.thanks for the advice.

    I love the green taillights...reminds me of what not to do. Put another quarter in the "NO" jar
    AT~

    Also, you are going OEM right? Where is your hatch badge and your wiper? Not OEM to me bud. You should actually make this a build thread and post some pics of that manifold. That seems to be the only build here.

    i think my car is one of the cleanest original paint mk3 gti's left, but i dont think i am better than anyone else because of it.I also dont believe my **** to be leaps and bounds above anyone elses's car, i am just proud of my mk3.
