Miles' YEA GTI
Miles' 2012 CW GTI 6MT
Purchased: March 13, 2016 with 26,500 miles
This is my second car, second 2.0l car, second turbo car, first FWD car... Can you guess my last? I'm really loving the VW life. Build quality is incredible and I didn't expect such a great community around the car. I've moved super quickly with mods since I got it, and will be slowing down now.

I have a YouTube channel called GTI Mod Blog (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnciGJ6lZpjURNLGrKU-Khw) where I film some installs on my car, my best friend's 2016 TR GTI, and various Golf R's.
I've gotten partnerships with these companies, so check them out:
