I might be getting rid of my Jetta 1.8T and be getting a newer car. Before you ask, of course it will be Volkswagen. Why wouldn’t I? Anyway I was wondering around the local dealers lot just to scope out any deals and what not. I did see a lot of Mk5 Jettas there which I am not really interested in but they had a few GTI’s (all automatic) and two Passat 2.0T Wagons. Now here is the hard part, which one do I look into? Besides the other two, I am also thinking a Mk4 TDI in Jetta or Golf form or a new Mk6 Golf TDI. Ill let you know what I decide when I get the chance.

So I finally got the money to get my Unitronic Stage 1+ flash to get my car to pass inspection which it did on the first try. The car overall feels like its a new car with a bad transmission. This is because it is an automatic. But besides that it is crazy powerful now. In the rain, it would just freak out because the wheels would want to slip because of the huge amount of torque it now makes.

Next because of this trans issue, I am searching for a replacment trans for the car but in doing that, it will become a manual transmission. So far I have found one on ebay for $500 but I don’t have the money for that currently. I will have to go to junkyards soon to find a sutable swap.

I finally got my interior LED set for my car in last week. Makes a huge difference now inside. The only issue I have with them, which 42DD states is normal, is that the two dome lights are still lit while the lights are off. I don’t know about them but that should not be normal but whatever. Ill get used to it.

Also, I have been toying with the site again. So far little tweaks here and there. Have to still add some CSS code for this part of the site for how it works with images. The major change I made was the links. I had them such a close color to black with no underline, you could hardly see them. So I added the underline for most links but not all. Also I am still in the process of getting my SSL cert working though the entire /wordpress/wp-admin directory with no avail. That’s it for now.

Yesterday my friend Rich put together a nice little Audi/VW get together last night. The picture set/forum entry is located at this address: http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4726068.

I had a great time and made a few friends while I was at it. Was such a crappy night though. It rained the entire time and became extremely cold which sucked. I still can’t completely feel my feet. Me and Rich are going to try to setup a weekly thing of some sort. Still a few things that need to get worked out but we will see.

I love BBS to much as you can tell.

For some reason New York will be changing from our nice current plates to this:

I’m sorry but who’s bright idea was it to change something that is working just fine and make it look like a steaming pile. There is a petition on stopping this insanity from happening and I will be going on that soon.
