Hi, my name is pie and I just bought my first VW. Very excite.
Meet Cirilla, my bone stock 2012 GTI.
I originally picked her up because I needed something a little better on gas than my truck, but that was still kind of fun to drive. However, I fully underestimated how much fun she was going to be and now my "commuter car" is going to get some upgrades.
I've been a car enthusiast for many years and the modification rabbit hole is something I've been down more than once. I was a regular at NED for a few years, before life and stuff got in the way. I've had NSRT-4's (2 of them, both did 11's, one was 11.5@125 the other was 11.1@131) and DSM's (still have one, also ran 11's, 11.6@118).
I would love to have some local-ish VW meets to get to know some of you and see what you've done with your cars! I saw a thread that said there was a weekly meet in Woburn, but it was dated a couple of years ago and I'm not sure if it's still a thing. Is it a thing? If not, can we plan something? Wrenching meets (I have a garage, but my tool supply has become limited due to things being ruined in my recent move....), BBQ's, cruises - I've been away from the car life for far too long and I really want to change that. With nice weather on the way, let's make it happen!
Also, I need to make a public apology to some guy in an MK6 GTI with an HKS BOV (if I recall correctly). About 1.5 years ago I was on my way to work in my Eclipse and getting on to RT9 eastbound in Westborough at 495... It was very early and I hadn't had any coffee yet and he gave me a BOV salute. I tried to give him a peace sign but my index finger got caught in my sweatshirt and I accidentally flipped him the bird. I tried to apologize but he wouldn't look at me (not that I could blame him). So, nice dude who tried to be nice, I AM SO SORRY I TRULY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE A JERK.
