Smoking is like speeding, I have the same right to travel the road but to have someone whizz by me 20+ mph. I'll take walking by a designated smoking area first (there is no designated speeding zone.)

I smoke, yet am mindful of those who dont. I get disgusted watching some 400lb pig stuff her face at partners, as the sweat soaks from her rolls into her shirt. But as a free society, thats what we have to deal with.
Big deal, I am going to die at 75 instead of 85. Those last 10 years suck balls (other than sponge baths) anyways.

Today during lunch, I utilized the LC on an E90 M3. That could get you in trouble as it could be addicting. I like that car the more I drive it. I would even consider one with the new DSG transmission.

I did all that. What happened was when I was outside waiting for the bus, I sent a text and I am certain the battery life was 90%+ and then I got on the bus then got off and when I checked my phone it's dead. I tried turning it on and nope, did the reset and nope, got back to my room plugged it in and tried to turn it and the screen was just black. I even did forced recovery in iTunes but it won't recognize the device like it's not plugged it. It's turned on now but the battery was dead when I got it to work. How in the hell did it go from 90%+ battery to basically 0% in less than 10 minutes. Doesn't make sense. My phone did turn itself off on certain occasions just randomly.

I think my commute to work is finally getting to me. Not so much traffic and the drive...but the miles on my car. Now that I have a car that I actually care about, it kinda matters to me again. I love my job, but I love my car too. 500 miles a week is rough.
BUT...without my job, I wouldn't have a car, so I guess it evens out. Dunno. Thinking out loud.

I understand where you're coming from. Some semesters I was putting nearly that much on my car for school. Look at it this way though, your car has such low mileage and it's a preowned car...it's not like you bought it brand new. You should enjoy it and relish in the fact that your mileage is next to nothing right now. By the time the mileage gets up there, you'll probably be ready to part with the car anyway.

People bitch about putting miles on their car because more miles means more maintenance. Especially on any european car...the maintenance is gonna be more expensive. So, it's more of a concern with them. I knew that when I bought the car, but that doesn't mean I look forward to it. I'd like to put it off as long as possible. I have so many other things that I have to pay for now and soon I'll have rent too. It's all a part of life, but if I can put some payments off a little longer, I'd like to. That's why people bitch about mileage.

Honestly, the only reason why I bought this car is because it only had 9,600 miles on it. That's a good deal for a used GTI. I know I have nothing to worry about now, but 500 miles a week after a while will be more of a problem. It's not really a big deal to me now...a co-worker had just mentioned it and I guess I had never really thought about it. Like I said, I was just thinking out loud haha

Simple solution to this,shouldnt have bought a car if you cant afford it. I would never buy a car and not consider driving it due to miles,i would enjoy it.

Who said I can't afford it?? I wouldn't have bought the damn car if I couldn't afford it. It was just a realization that I came to today when someone mentioned it. Anyone who pays bills and lives on their own (or mostly on their own) will agree that low mileage cars are better when you have other shit to worry about. Why do you think people buy second cars that are cheap and used just for commuting (usually hondas...no offense)?? To avoid putting more miles and stress on their other cars. I enjoy driving my car and will jump at any chance I have to drive it. It has nothing to do with that though.
Like I stated before (as well as Daniel), I don't really have anything to worry about now because: 1) I still have low mileage 2) I'm still under the factory warranty. It was just a thought that popped into my head.

Seriously... cars are meant to driven, fixed then driven again... they're not disposable after so much use... you fix and continue... I have 250,000 miles on my truck and I will never get rid of it... I'll throw more parts at it and I'll get another car later... Ive already replaced my transmission and every component in my pulley system. I am however not paying for anything else, which is even more reason for you to buy an economical and cheap upkeep car...

I'm confused as to what you don't understand. I didn't state in there that I couldn't pay for the maintenance, I would just like to hold it off as long as I can so I can pay for other stuff like food, and rent, and phone bills and stuff and not have to worry about the car. Something will eventually happen (it's not invincible), but if I can hold it off for a couple months, that'd be great too.

Exactly. If you have nothing else to pay for, then by all means, drive whatever you want and pay to repair whatever you want. When you start paying for EVERYTHING else in your life, saving money is what you're all about. Now, I wasn't saying that I can't afford the GTI and that it's a problem...it's not. I was just realizing how many miles I actually put on the car....kinda leading to possibly getting a daily for myself.

This. I think I'll eventually get another car as a daily. The GTI is premium (like sloppyGTI mentioned), it's German, and a manual. Not great for commuting and sitting in traffic, but I still enjoy it. When the mileage starts reaching a certain point, I'll probably move it to the garage and make it my weekend/toy car. Right now though, I'm gonna continue to enjoy the hell out of it ;)

here's an idea: since you love to drive it so much, why not buy another one and put it in a capsule, vacuum seal it, and lock it in a vault underground? that way you can have one to drive and put off maintenance on, and when you get tired of dealing with the constant CEL, you can unwrap you're practically new, cacooned GTI and repeat the process....
Get real!
STEP1: you buy a car you like.
STEP2: you drive it.
STEP3: you properly care for it.
STEP4: you drive it some more.
if "high milage" means STEP3 is expensive and can stress you financially, you made a mistake at STEP1.
Its a fucking Volkwagen Golf. No offense, but just because it says "GTI" on the back, doesn't make it "God's Chariot." In other words, its not gonna be a collectable item worth more than any other used car in the same segment 10 yrs from now....
drive it and keep racking up 500 miles a week. and when you hit that 50k mile mark, smile and say to yourself, "its made it this far and I had so many great times. bring on the next 50k miles!!"

Step 1: Check
Step 2: Check

Step 4: Check
You realize that not everyone works like you or thinks like you or has the same life as you, right?? I have set plans for the GTI that I have full intentions of going through with. I'm gonna buy a commuter because I'd like to spend my time driving the GTI taking it to events and shows and taking it on trips and putting miles like that on it. Do I have a problem taking my car to work?? No. It actually makes traffic a bit more enjoyable. But guess what?? Every car has a life span. They'll all die eventually. Could I rebuild it?? Sure. But by that time, I'd be ready to buy a new one. Just because you think a car should be used a certain way, doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same way. It doesn't make you right either. Don't like how I think my car should be used? Tough. It's not your car or your life now is it? Simple as that. Everyone has their opinions. I wanna use my car how I wanna use it. That's pretty much it. It doesn't make me wrong, and it doesn't make me right. It's just my opinion. You can hate it, but that's your problem. You keep doing it your way and rebuilding and fixing your cars over and over if that brings you enjoyment. I won't get after you for it. It's how you like to do things. That's fine.
I enjoy every mile that I'm in my car. I love my car. I don't think it's anything incredible by your standards (or anyone else's for that matter), but it's the best thing ever to me. And that's all that matters. Why? Because it's MY car. I'm not expecting to get a great resale value out of it. I just wanna use it how I wanna use it. I wanna spend the miles in that car doing something productive. Will that happen anytime soon?? Nah. I've got quite a bit to go. I only have ~10,500 miles on it now. It's hardly even broken in. But when I actually get started on the car, I will be buying myself something else. I bought the car for more than just a ride to and from work. For now, it will have to be that and I have no problem with it. But in the future, things will be different. And that's MY choice.
I didn't mean for this to turn into a huge argument lol good lord. I was just sharing some thoughts.
No hard feelings, Steve. I still love you hah :)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to keep a "nice" car well, "nice". My next vehicle will be a weekend toy. What irritates me is the people that let their car sit thinking the car's value is going to depreciate due to the miles increasing. Guess what, that POS lost value the minute you drove it off the lot. I used to be SUPER anal about my cars but as you grow up, you realize that it's a machine with a purpose to get you from point A to point B. That doesn't mean you shouldn't take care of it which a lot of people do. That doesn't mean my next car will be my next car will be used and abused like my WRX. I want one near mint condition that I can continue to care for yet enjoy. At the end of the day, who gives a rats ass whom does what with their car.

Only drove my car on nice evenings and my off days.
Now, I'm buying an even lower mileage s2000 and plan on driving it less.

So I finally pulled my first motor apart and found very little carnage :( Cylinder 4 rod bearing failed. It failed in a nice uniform fashion and didn't score the crank. Not sure how much use I have for a spare 2 liter crank, but whatever...
As I suspected tho, the motor wouldn't have lasted much longer anyway- cylinders 2 and 3 had slight visible bearing wear (uoa indicated this two oil changes prior to the actual failure) meaning they would've likely failed soon had 4 not given up first. My thoughts on the wear? I'll keep them to myself as I plan my next motor- I mean how to finance my next motor :ninja:

Chris,
Most people stop at around 300whp on 93oct with the 2 liter. Some brave it to 320-330 but that's asking alot. On E85, 330-350 seems to be the limit but its still risky business. I beat the ever loving shit out of my car every day and it won't be long before I start cringing everytime I lay into it, wondering if its gonna survive this pull....
These 2 liter motors weren't built with any form of motorsports in mind like your motor. they're open deck, cast pistons, and just an all around so-so motor. The 2.5 motors are a bit better, but not much.... The JDM STI motors were/are the baddasses when it comes to OE subaru motors.... Steve tried getting me to buy a couple of them as they popped up last year- if only I had $4500 at that time....
As for swapping back to the stock turbo- its a sentimental thing. I refuse to let go of personally running 12's with the td04 in a full weight wagon. Has it been done before? sure, but I haven't. On top of that, the current setup is super laggy (no party until 4500-5000), and when on full boil, moves the fuck out. The stock turbo will spool instantly and on E85, make solid power across a fairly wide powerband. Ideally, I'd have Tommy's turbo if I could....

thanks man-- $500.00 is the estimate for repairs, it'll go in the shop next Monday. I think I was the only car in the neighborhood that was messed with, but someone did donuts in the neighbors front yard, so it was probably the same people.

Are they repainting it? Id love to see what kind of scratches they did to the paint.
On another note, finally got the P5 cleaned up, after about 14 hours of polishing you get a shitty cellphone pic!

Yep that was me- on the way to get an estimate.
They're going to repaint the hood (which was JUST repainted a few weeks ago) and buff/polish the rest out.
I'll be at the Friday night sherwin Williams with my scratches-- we're goin to work on it tonight see if we can get the remains of the paint off the car.

Yes they're lucky I didn't catch them. Probably would've been on the 6am news for either putting 12 hollow points into them or breaking their knees with a baseball bat.

Find yourself a detailer to do the buff/polish. Most body shops rotary compound and then either glaze or use a "coffee can" waxer to final polish, which this will leave buffer trails.

A friend of mine had his STi there for MONTHS and even when he finally received it back, he found a lot of small stuff they neglected to do that he requested. He was planning on taking it back up there to have him complete the work but not sure if he's done that or not.
Would anyone on here be interested in a '95 Eclipse GS-T for $1k? Why? Crankwalk. The car has ~82k miles on it. I don't have any pictures at this moment but can get some for anyone that is interested.

Got my VIN today. Also was told an estimated delivery date of April 26th but from what I've read online they are expected to be in dealerships in June. Im not getting my hopes up too much for the April date. Just seems waaaaaayyyy to early. Plus I'll be in Oklahoma city from April 16th till May 17th so I'll have to get someone to pick it up for me if It does come in hahaha.

Got confirmation from a few other people saying the first production run is on the assembly line as we speak so maybe April isnt that far fetched.
