    Rabbit seat wear

    A common problem with the "velour" seats in the rabbit is the seats wear pretty fast. Since most of the time, it's just me in the car, only the driver's seat has this issue. Anyways, I read threads about it before, so I searched and can't seem to find them. Anybody have this issue and was able...

    few questions about springs and powdercoating wheels

    I've had my rabbit for a bit over a year and the only mod I've done so far is tint the windows. I've held back on doing more because of the whole money issue. I know I shouldn't be putting any more money into the car, but I can't resist... Ok, first, springs. I've only read good things about...

    Petro-canada car wash season pass

    I searched and it looks like it is about 150$ (not sure if that's with or without tax). You can wash your car once a day for 90 days. Seems like an ok deal considering winters around the corner and it can be used on more than one car. I would probably only use it once or twice a week though...

    I feel dumb/ the rabbit is a tank!

    So coming home tonight on the highway, the car in front of me swerved to avoid hitting an object in the road. I didn't have enough time to slow down much and couldn't swerve because cars were around me. So turns out it was this huge ass tarp. So I go over it and everything seems fine. I...

    so the dealer messed up... (big surprise)

    I got my oil change done at 16,000km and now that I'm at 21,000 I decided to clean the underhood area and check my oil at the same time. Well, it is above the maximum level. Anf I've been driving it like this for 5,000kms! You'd think they could do a simple oil change without a screw up...

    my rabbit has a leak I think :(

    So I had a passenger with me the other day, and there was a couple drops of water that fell from the roof (where the holy shit handles are). I'm a little concerned that if this is a continuing thing, it could make mold in the headliner. Maybe it was just condensation or something, who knows...

    TPMS and Canada

    I was under the impression all 2008+ cars in Canada had TPMS like in the states, but apparently not since my car doesn't have it. Did Canada not follow up with the US law? I'm just curious. I'm actualy happy I don't have TPMS as I dont have an anoying idiot light on all winter long lol
