Hi everyone, I'm new around here, so I'm still learning some stuff
Anyway to get on with things:

7/30/14:
Found the car on Autotrader and took the hour drive to go look at it. 3 hours went by and I was now the proud owner of a 2011 Deep Black Pearl GTI. The car was a base model and in DSG, because I never had a car to learn how to drive manual with.




Picture was taken at a gas station due to the fact that 15 minutes after leaving the dealer, the TPMS light came on...

Welcome to the forums. What part of Florida?

I'm from Fort Lauderdale

Just polished the exhaust tips... What a PITA... whoever the previous owner of the car was did not take good care of those puppies

8/6/14:

Put about 200 miles on the clock so far and I have 0 complaints. First fill up today too - does anyone recommend premium over regular on a completely stock car?

Also applied some red 3M trim to break up the black on the bumper a little, got the idea from mygtimk6 on instagram, not sure if he's on here or not
*EDIT: removed as of May 2015*

Welcome! I like the red trim! And 91 octane or above is strongly recommended by volkswagen. You should only use 91 or above.

Thank you! And yes premium here is 93, so i will definitely fill up with it from now on

Sorry for the focus issues, idk what was going on with the camera...

Welcome to the forum!

Clean car. Cant wait to see where you go with it.

Welcome to the forum! You took some amazing photos so far! How are you liking the GTI?

Clean car man! I'm by the Ft. Lauderdale area too. Would love to get a meet/cruise going. Maybe around Las Olas/Beach for the Boat show?


Also, there's a meet every second Tuesday at the Ft. Lauderdale Ale House. PM Me and I can give you more info. Good lookin' car man

Thanks guys! Will definitely let you know about a cruise- time is limited but im sure i can work something out
