Cool deal.
Just look for a Grey mkvi GTI on BBS CH's (though I'm sure I won't be the only one....just look for the girl driver haha)

Welcome to the VW scene! Everyone loves the mkiv, so you'll be good. And yes! Come say hi. It's always nice to meet new people.

I hope you plan on taking that Jetta down to APR soon They will be doing free installs at SoWo FWIW.

Let me ask you an off topic question..

Are you not worried about the warranty with that ECU? This is what kinda made me hesitant to buy the GLI cause I knew I wanted the chip cause it was cheap, but I didn't want to ruin the warranty.

Well, first....I'm already out of warranty lol I have 44k miles on the car right now.

I bought the car with 9600 miles on it and had my Stage 1 done at 10k miles. I walked into Jim Ellis VW on Peachtree Industrial and straight up told him about the ECU upgrade and the Carbonio and he shrugged and didn't bug me about it again. It all depends on where you go and what you're needing done. If your clutch goes out and you're Stage 1+ and you're trying to get that warrantied...they're probably going to laugh at you. I haven't had an issue with my car, so I never had to worry about the warranty. To this day, they still ask if I've done anything else to the car and are always excited to see my plans. It depends on how you present yourself and the car, honestly.

[roxie911]

So, possibly quitting my job tomorrow and moving down to Auburn/Opelika, AL next Wednesday

I'll still be going to SoWo, but this means I might be able to go to Formula Drift too!!! It will depend on my financial situation.

Probly doesn't hurt having tits either...

Can't say I disagree lol

I'm glad you took that the way it was meant to be taken.

I wish I had an old school slammed bug. Sowo is the shit. We were all driving our jeeps over Tray Mtn a dew years back and didn't even realize it was that weekend. Very cool just riding through with monster jeeps surrounded by cars dragging ass everywhere.

[toxxxic]

why not go to both? Formula D's main event doesn't start till later, you probably wouldn't even need to take time off. That's what I'm doing, just heading out there after I get off work on Saturday.

Skip the hipster bandwagon beat-ass car event, go enjoy the mountains and the food. I'm far from a VW person, but I'd rather go to SoWo than FD. I have been to a number of FD events (including the first one) and I generally dislike the "scene" that accompanies said event. Not to mention the course at RA used for FD is pretty boring to watch.

I hate the scene too, and to be honest, I'm effectively out of it. Lol. But I still enjoy hangin out watching the drift races. Especially since I only have to do it once a year. With that said, I'll probably be at both.

[roxie911]

So, I ended up quitting my job about a week ago. I will have the time and money to go to both, but I will be moving to Opelika, AL this weekend, so FD is a no-go. I will definitely be going to SoWo though, so hit me up if you're there!
