Maybe your car was defective? Srs.

Mine does have the LED tails. It's a 2014 MY. Noob. But they changed the design of the tails for the facelifted Mk6 in 2015, I believe? There are three different GLIs in the Mk6 generation. It's really annoying.

I tuned my car at ~8k miles and the clutch went at 13k. I'm guessing it's power related but I was wondering if it was defective because the throw out bearing went bad which caused everything else to fuck up. That's what the dealer told me. I didn't care at the time. I had a track event two weeks later and just wanted my shit fixed in time. This was all before I owned the E46.

It's a car guy thing I guess. Too me, fuel economy isn't as important as the overall experience. Yes, it suck sometimes that I have to fill up multiple times a week. But, I don't mind as my cars make me happy. Plus, they are the reason I'm able to drive and maintain them.

Wait, am I the only one here that didn't know you had a Ghost and a 458?

30+ MPG from a Truck with 'enhanced' exhaust and tune, TQ out the azz.....

Decisions, decisions...

Do the Colorado, man! That is the best looking truck Chevrolet has made in years.

I completely forgot you used to track the GLI.

1 gallon of gasoline has approximately 1.32e+8 joules of energy.

306 watt hour is approximately 1.10e+6 joules.

Through math, I'm getting roughly 120mpg

So angry. Surely there is a store close by that sells batteries.

Or, you could live vicariously though my bike with your namesake, which i'll be humping (in a way) up and down the trail this afternoon. haha

I'm not a pick up truck kind of guy. So my opinion would be biased.

Hell yeah! It was a ton of fun even though it was way slower than the M3.

ASBSECU E93 · 05-25-2016, 10:39 AM

Aatish - I get 50+ in my MK6 TDi

Verbiage - Once VWoA determines how much I'll get for a buyback...it is highly likely this will be added to the stable...will be sad to see the Tacoma go however.

Dammit....oh well.

ASBSECU E93 · 05-25-2016, 10:42 AM

Aatish - I have a Touareg TDi now putting down 600+ TQ, plus the MK6 TDi.

If I get an X5 - it'll be a X5M.

The X5d cannot be optioned with M Sport goodies...

Cannot start a sentence with "because", unless it is a compound sentence with a subordinate clause following the start. Sorry...

To clarify, a proper construction would have looked like this:
