i liked your truck, but i might be a bit biased, weird :beer:
Nice purchase, though id rather it have been a Focus ST or something. Not a fan of VW build quality, though they were good at one point but ex's 1.8t jetta turned into a pile of dookie quick. All the plastic hoses in the engine bay turned brittle as hell and had to replace them all. Cable from batt to alt with fuse holder melted. Subsequently later alt died. Two different plastic coolant fittings/barbs cracked in half.
Holy hell those wheels are UGLY!
They are stock lol. First thing Im changing
Smart move. Enjoy and mod the shit out of it! Then post vids.
Thanks. Been a fan of them, two doors are too small for me lol. It reminds me when I sat in my buddy's 80's Civic Si in high school years ago lol.Does it have the DSG farts? Haha. Car looks great OP, always been a fan of those cars.

I love that truck. Sorry you had to let it go.
The Lightning Gods are displeased.
I had a 2011 mk6. Full stage 2, APR tuned with meth, lsd, a ridiculous loud clutch, and pretty much every suspension mod I could throw at it. It was shown on enkei's page a couple years ago before I made the switch. The car was an absolute blast and the TSI is a strong motor. They're great cars. Congrats and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I practically know that platform like the back of my hand.
Sorry to see the Lightning go. I like the GTIs though. Looks good with the badge delete.
For those of you saying he should've bought a Focus ST, those weren't out until the 2013MY and probably would've cost a good bit more than what he bought that GTI for.
Gotta do what ya gotta do.
Nice car. Might look into those when my beater blows up.

My truck was nowhere as cool as yours Scott haha.
^ THIS. I truly believe that all V dubs on US shores are possessed by the souls of evil Nazis hellbent on ruining American lives in one life or the next. Vdub nation has got to be the biggest bunch of unfathomably cocky, weird, emo douchebags I have ever encountered in my life. Being in OCMD during H20 was a horrendous experience.
However, there are those who just drive the cars and do not belong to the cult and I'm sure that is what you are OP, hopefully it treats you well and you don't end up at Volk Fest with a bunch of "bros" listening to DMB, smoking hookah and talking about Neuspeed chips and what obscure color to use on your new velour headliner.
Thanks lol, but all Lightnings are equal in the eyes of Zeus. They are all his children. I do miss it sometimes. I'm sure you will too.
Sells Lightning when gas is cheapest in 3 years and buys a ladies car......... Say's gas was too expensive.......gotcha.
