Add whatever you had to list.

So being at this mileage I keep a lot of parts on hand.

4 new spark plugs in the hatch cubby
1 new coil pack if one fails
Hose clamp removal tool
Socket set with triple square set
1 liter of distilled water
Floor jack(has a gym bag)

I posted my 235k update over a month ago. 250k by the end of the year is possible.

Downtown Houston. No editing straight from the phone. If you see light flare that’s because of the new variable aperture feature.

Pretty great speeds in Houston.

My wife brought our new vehicle to a shop that’s a family friend for a detail, and the guy used a drill and buffing pad on the paint. There are 3” holograms all throughout the paint, and it looks terrible in the sun.

I’m no expert, but I do have a long-throw random orbit DA polisher I received for Christmas with a few polishing and finishing pads. It looks like the speed goes from 2000–4600 rpm.

As a beginner, can I fix this with low speed and use of these two products? I’ve already clayed and prepped the area.

What speed do you recommend?

237,236k miles

17 pro

I had my camera on and someone on motorcycle wanted the smoke. I knew it’ll be an easy W. So I humbled the guy and he gave the 🤙🏼.

One of the only photos I have of my grandpa when he had his 13s on. He was a world war 2 vet so he had his hat on to acknowledge it. I miss that man he was a great mentor.

My 236k mile GTI steering wheel is worn badly so I said why not. The quality is nice.

Factory gauge is off by 10-20 degrees on oil temp. Factory oil temp gauge has read as high as 242 degrees and it’s 219 on Simos.

I wonder how it calculates its numbers.

Pretty wholesome moment here.

Widebody Scat vs GTI

Me and a good friend of mines went to movies with our wives. After the movies they were talking about how big orange beats all kinds of cars on the interstate. My wife said that VW will absolutely wreck big orange.

So she said yea right and laughed it off. I told my buddy let’s let them race on the interstate. So we both played passenger prince.

My wife is extremely competitive. You should’ve heard her screaming talking about big orange nah lil grapefruit while we were on the phone. I was in tears from laughter.

After the race I was petty and turned on the flashers.

Edit: Bro called me this morning he is at the Volkswagen dealership with his wife looking at a GTI. He said he can’t believe they are 40k.

Now should I text his wife and say let’s make your new car faster than his lol.

Cool guy. He said I was his first loss. He seen my Texas plate and said yea I should’ve known yall Texas guys don’t play around.

Im guessing power is in the 600s. I was on map 4 570whp. I have the weight advantage and I have on my drag radials tonight.

Number sounds bigger than miles.

Yes I post Ls too. I put buses on stock turbo b58s but I was out of my league with this one.

Easily down 200ish whp in power.

FBO stinger on E.

DSG locked me out of 3rd for hitting the rev limiter(tune)

People near me are starting to catch on and won’t race me with camera on anymore.

I’ll tell you what!

About to pull this 3m 2080 carbon film off as it’s aging and go with ultrafit carbon ppf on roof and hood.

You think 60”x10’ is a stretch ? I wrapped the hood myself and had plenty of material left over at 60”x5’.
