Yadadamean's Budget Build

Yadadameans

Ready to race!
Bored and wanted to make a build. Kinda late, but better late than never. A bit about myself. My name is Henry and I'm from San Francisco. Currently a student at SJSU trying to major in something that involves Engineering. I got this car when I was a senior in high school and just been doing as much as I can with it. I know they're small mods, but it's something to me and I enjoy working with cars. I love driving and about to hit 60k miles on it now.

2011 VW GTI MK6 Sunroof and convenience package. Bought at Boardwalk VW for just under 30k. Thankful for my parents for getting me it. They wanted me to buy an Accord like any other family does, but I pushed them to get me this. Loving the car and going to keep it for a long time.

Very first picture I took of it at the dealership while papers were being filled out.

Nice. Turboback actually sounds pretty good. Time for stage 2!
