Hi this is my GTI. It's a Candy White 2-Door manual 2010 Volkswagen GTI (18" Detroits, Dynaudio, sunroof, Interlagos, and Bi-Xenons). I got it Volkswagen Certified Pre-Owned from the dealer. It came from Vienna, Virginia and now it's back home in Ohio. I'm planning on going with a OEM+ route. Here is my build thread.

That smokes my first car. A 1974 Toyota Corolla that I worked my backside off to save up $400 to purchase. (I miss that car.)

Congrats on the acquisition!

Are you some kind of photography wizard as well as a car enthusiast? Nice effects.

I'm glad you like the photos! I like photography, but the editing was just some filters on Picasa LOL!

Do you even have a drivers license yet?

you don't need one to sit in it and make vrooom vrooom noises. The real question is can he reach the pedals?

JUST KIDDING
