At least it isn't this one:

Got this 2014 370Z Roadster to cheer myself up. Only 24,000 miles, one owner. My regular Nissan dealer sold me a factory bumper to bumper warranty for seven years or 70,000 miles. Found it on eBay in Escondido. Picture is of transporter picking it up from seller for delivery. Color is Black Cherry and now has new set of Potenzas one size taller so I don’t scrape coming out of driveways.

They changed it from the Pillsbury Doughboy steering wheel after a year because they wanted to add media controls for the radio and the Cobalt had them and the Corvette wheel didn't.
 
Recently sold the MX-5 and picked this up as a replacement:

Tow bar is now removed and I've polished up the exhaust tips since taking this photo. Seem to be having some trouble with the gearbox though at the moment, so until I can take it to a garage, it's not getting driven. Saves me some fuel money at least...

That's quite a departure from the little Mazda! What spurred on that decision?

Also what's the gearbox doing?

I’ve fancied a GS for a while now, crazy amount of car for so little money! Planning on buying a house next year so thought I’d get it out my system now!

Was driving it the other day and it vibrated at a certain speed, did it twice, hasn’t done it before or since so not sure what it is. Don’t want to make it worse though.

That's a bit odd eh.. might just need a service.
 
Congrats, I've always liked how those GS looked.

*Goes and looks up prices of GS*
*Hot damn, ok. Hm, that was not a good idea*

Maybe trans fluid wasn't warmed up properly. Can you do a transmission fluid change? I hope you can anyway, on some cars the transmission fluid is not accessible.
 
Just picked up this thing on Friday, love it so far. Wasn't sure about getting the DSG transmission but having launch control helped sway me, and I wont have to teach my wife how to drive it. Though it also means I need to find something real cheap to teach her and the kids with now.

Did a really cool photo/video shoot with Falken Tire this weekend at Gridlife! It was a highlight to an otherwise tough event figuring out issues with the new supercharged engine setup.

Spent a couple hours with a buffer, some wax, and some polish the other day and I'm very pleased with the results

Of course, as is tradition for most of the east coast, the forecast was wrong and it rained the next day.

There are a lot of things I miss about MD this time of the year, but I'm very happy to have no chance of rain in my forecast for the next two weeks :lol:
 
Wasn't entirely sure where to post these, but figured it was suitable enough here. Took a vacation to Vermont to "get away" from things. Decided that part of my "goal" with the vacation would be to recreate Gran Turismo Scape locations with my own GTI. Did my best to recreate the angles, but the vegetation had changed a little, lighting isn't quite as similar, and my GTI is a later facelifted 7.5 four door and GT Sport has a pre-facelift two door.

Bravo! Nice to see you were able to achieve this with your Golf especially matching the time of year. Vermont does have some beautiful scenery. Amazing how PD can blend the 3D models with a photograph so nicely.
