Hello 'Gents (since I'm pretty sure I'm the only lady...), the GLI is at a WA dealership and no longer under our ownership. It was giving us small issues that could potentially lead to a huge issue when Brian would be deployed, so we traded it for a 2011 Jetta TDI. It's weird not being in a fun car, but the fuel mileage is awesome. And back in July Brian traded his GTI for an A4 with a new engine and bigger turbo but that will be sold soon due to him leaving. Just wanted to pop in, say hello, and give you an update
Tell Brian he needs to get his **** together and start flying instead of playing Army!
I have this sneaky suspicion I'll be up in WA this time next year. Only because i have bad luck, it rains there, and there probably aren't many tracks. Have y'all heard from Tom?
He's working on it...his unit up here is flippin' ghey but he's done all the stuff he has to do, just waiting for other people. And if you do, awesome just let us know. Tom messaged me back at the end of July and asked if we go to meets, but I don't know of any and haven't heard from him since.
Good to hear from you guys. The TDI is no speed demon, but the other benefits still bring out some love. My wife is rocking a Passat TDI now and she is loving it.
I bounced a few messages back an forth with Tom after he landed up there, but I haven't heard from him in about two months, either.
my key fob had dead batteries and i put new ones in it, it is not working with my car now. do i need to get some reprogramming or what do i do to fix it??????
ok so key fob..... only works when its in the trunk lock ??????? i dont understand whats the deal with it but as long as its in the truck lock the buttons lock and unlock the doors and work the alarm. :banghead::banghead::banghead:
can anyone explain this or help me fix it the right way with out paying automax $100 :screwy:
I'm pretty sure the reprogramming instructions are out there on google. I replaced my key system with a remote start that had it's own fob and tied it into the alarm. But I normally do something different.
Chance, I agree that Cheeburger Cheeburger was horrible. I do not want to return, even this Thursday. :thumbdown:
Place key in driver door/pass side if no key hole.
Turn and hold to lock position.
Press lock on key fob multiple times which should lock the car and set the alarm.
Done.
If that doesn't work try the same but hold to unlock side.
apparently for a beetle, you put the key in the trunk, press and hold the lock button and wait. but its still a little messed up. the trunk button does not work on the fob. and to lock the drivers door you must press unlock 4 times then lock, or the driver door will not lock. f@*k it, its easy to just lock and unlock it with the key itself.
Hey guys I'm not going to make it Thursday. My Uncle passed away and I am driving alone from here to NC. So have fun and let me know how the turn out is. The aircooleds are going to representing as well. Take lots of pics.
there are a few courses near by, i think that the New Braunfels Track, Harris Hill Track is a short course but lots of fun. SoulSpeed is located nearby? i forgot.
The temple track is called Little River Dragway, we head there to do drag rips and just hang out. its more of a family time for the guys in the group.
we roll together, and hang and leave when we want.
8 bucks to get in with a military id and 10 without, its an additional 10 to race.IIRC.
im sure there are others around, but im not really too in the know. i never track my car, so im unsure.
OH
there is a small auto cross event every month at the whiskey creek parking lot. I heard its lots of fun.
Apex driving events does most of the track days around here.
TWS (College station) FAST! bikes do 150 on the back straight.
MSRC (Cresson)-1.3, 1.7, 3.1 configurations Apex runs regularly there. 1.3 is very technical with a 50ft elevation change, 1.7 is fun cars run CW mostly I've only ran CCW. the 3.1 is the two merged and is a lot of track to cover, mentally taxing.
MSRH(Houston)- 2.7 I think its a smooth fun course, not sure who runs there.
ECR (Eagles Canyon) Denton/Decatur, mid speed technical track, lots of elevation change.
Track days are to be had around here all these tracks are w/in 3hrs. The key is searching local forums and sneaking in with other car groups, EVO, BMW, S2000, PCA, ect.
Ordered new EBC red stuff pads and clear side markers should be hear Friday, so no more clowning on me chance for my orange band-aids lol and most importantly no more squeak
You seem to think I have this hatred or disposition towards you, your friend, and his car. This is not the case. I simply made a comment voicing my opinion, if I came off like an ass, my apologies, I have always had to be blunt and direct.
I think you guys are over analyzing the statements made in here. The point I tried to make is that it doesn't look amazing and it is not a color for a BMW, but that's what you get with TheMadHacker. I acknowledged part of your statement in agreement, then followed with a reasoning as to why you would see such an abomination from him. It's just what he likes. Standard, Normal or Classy are NOT descriptions for his taste in paint jobs.
That said, Yoda85's fingers get loud in the forum when he feels a need to defend something or someone. It is one of his traits that can be good/bad, depending on the situation. Sometimes you just have to redirect him and push the "GO" button.
Of all the times for you to stop in here and make some comments! Stop slumming and get your pretty behind back uptown. This ain't the Jerry Springer Show! eace:
i like the blue, it is character and personality and his car is the "only" car around in that color.
i can not say anything bad about his car, other then it needs some mean exhaust to give it a growl
people be like "do i hear a muscle .... no it's just bmw"
id do it, i mean it is a v8 right. flowmaster mufflers
:laugh: I know, just throwing out some motivation the only way I know. Besides Im in no position to talk about cars. The only VW I have to my name now is the Routon. :facepalm: LOL I so can wait to leave this desert! :banghead:
