My EP is back in my hands

[Zero Three Si]

Man I tell ya....I missed my car so much.

Story is...I took on a part time job in addition to my full time job.
The part time job was 30 miles from my house one way. I know that is a long way for a part time job...but the money was hard to pass up.

My g/f has 2000 Beetle. It's leased and is up in June of 2004. She's had 40k on it and can have up to 60k by June. So I drove her car for about the past month.

Wow did I miss my EP! I don't know how some of you can actually sell/trade her.

Sounds like a good arrangement for you, though glad you've got your baby back. My ex had a New Beetle, and it got old driving it quickly(wasn't the 1.8T or anything). That, and I just couldn't get used to the roofline... the absurd amounts of headroom, the windshield "out there" somewhere, etc. Doesn't exactly do wonders for one's masculinity quotient, either...

:eek:

Nope it was the standard 2.0 engine. The car isn't super fast but it isn't super slow either. The car has ALOT of torque. Just not a car I would go out an buy.

Its slow, beleieve me, I owned a Gofl with the same engine (not stock) for three years. I would get dusted on a regular basis by bone stock Si's. It was a good engine though, extremely reliable. I wanted to get the Neuspeed supercharger for it but the car got totalled shortly before the big purchase. Oh well.

Conrad,

I'm going to have to look into the golf a little bit. She's due for a new car in the spring and I like the GTI alot but she wants a car with 4 doors. I didn't realize neuspeed made a supercharger for the golf.

[Driftin SI]

Yup, they sure did. Technically, they didn't make the SC, its the same company that makes the chargers for TRD that designed and tested it. Here's a good pic of it. It retails for $2500.

What she really wants is a 1.8t jetta....but I don't see us paying 20-24k for that thing.

For one...the back seat is TINY. You can get a nice golf for like 16-17 I think.

I told her...if we're spending 20-24k on her car....she's getting a Cooper S.

The golf mk5 is a sweet looking car...I just saw the pictures of it.

While this is true...and I do love the EVO and the S2000...
But if I'm going to spend 30 grand on a car...
I'm going to buy a 3 yr old M3 or a 3 yr old 5 series...

How can you go wrong with a 16,000 dollar car?????
