How do you all contain the "urge" to just slam it to the floor? I've been attempting this on this recent tank of gas and have been managing 37.7MPG :eek: But I seriously cant contain that muscle twitch on the pedal.

This is why I created my thread :p

I can barely control myself with a stock GTI, I can't imagine how much of an asshat I'd be if I had a K04.

So....my question to you all is is the GTI just a material object? Or an extension of something more in your personality? Is the car part of you or just something you drive? How do you handle that :urge: to blow past everyone? I'm having a huge problem with trying to determine why this car is such a part of me.

1) Or an extension of something more in your personality? My car is 100% an extension of me. I mod following my feelings. I made my car muted, stealth, blacked out, under the radar. I stayed away from showey and in your face stuff.

2) How do you handle that :urge: to blow past everyone? I embrace the urge. I too drive like a jackass passing 5 cars at a time on two lane back roads if they are too slow. I try to keep it under wraps as much as I can but I love to drive my car fast and I usually do. I'm sure it will get worse when I'm able to go KO4.

I have always been a big fan of cars, from the very technical machine/build part to the experience of driving it. I had a very bad few years before I joined the army and never had a car of my own. I always admired the GTI from the Mk4 onwards. When I joined I could only afford the rabbit I got in 2008 but I loved that car more than anything. I didn't mod it only because I knew I would get a GTI one day and wanted to save. Now that my life is on track and I make enough to afford the important things..(house, food...ect ) I knew I could get my "dream car". For me it is a symbol, a representation of all the hard work and discipline it took to put me on the right path. Every time I get in it I smile. It is by no means my whole life, but I don't drink or smoke so I feel justified in spending money on my "hobby" I have plans to mod my car and make it my own. I want to keep it as OEM looking as possible....Well OEM as in it looks like it could be the absolute top spec euro GTI from the factory, and I want a tune. It will be a little while before I bother to spend money on these things but I love looking forward to it. And I love reading all the tech stuff and mod stuff on this forum. People like the OP, plac, bender, gunkata...just to name a few...have given my so many ideas, and knowledge that I love my car even more. I know this post seems to be going off topic but I am thankful for this forum and the people like myself that enjoy their cars and have pride of ownership.

Now I want some LED tails....

IMO the only thing that makes a driver look like a dbag is smoking in a nice car.
