Hey everyone!
Welcome to the build page for my 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTI Wolfsburg Edition.
Ever since early high school, when I saw a few of the seniors at the time had some slightly modded Mk4 GTI's as well as a Mk4 GLI, I knew I was going to own one. There was just something about it's simple yet elegant design that drew me in. So, after driving around a 2000 Ford Taurus throughout high school and my early college years, I decided that it was time to treat myself to the car that I wanted. After working hard and saving up enough money I bought myself a 2010 Volkswagen Golf 2.5L. I thought it was the coolest sounding car ever!
After going to local meets and cruises, I realized this little Golf just wasn't going to cut. I've been a car-guy since I was a child helping my grandfather build his race cars. I needed something 'more'. So one day I went to the dealership in my Golf, and there under it's wrapping was a brand spanking new 2014 GTI. I just had to have it. It's what I wanted, and I bought it. I could not have been more joyous exiting the dealership lot. I had achieved my goal of owning a car I had sought after.
Naturally, being the car guy that I was, the mods came soon after. I'll let you follow along as I continue to build my car to my perfect daily driving machine.
