no, i'm far from finished writing this book, but with the car approaching its two year anniversary (and a little north of 20k on the odo), i thought it might be a good time to cobble together a brief pictorial retrospective of where she's been, and where she currently is. obviously, i didn't go crazy, but i like to think i struck a pretty good (if conservative) balance between looks (keeping it clean, oem+) and performance (by which i mean handling, not straight line speed). of course, i still have a ways to go (esp. in terms of the latter), but for now, enjoy..
the first few days, weeks, months... were heaven :happyanim:
first pair of new shoes, along with a mild drop. crappy all-season tires visible in the background. clearly, i still have a ways to go...
this is what a golfmkv meet looked like circa 2007- lots of stock wheels and ride height, bbs rs and slamitonfks virtually unheard of, etc. etc.
i have seen the light. new-to-me hufs, along with some super sticky dunlop direzza z goodness.
hufs go on 18" snows, ensuring good grip year round. winter hoonage quickly ensues.
"moar low." now it's pretty much perfect for me.
18" vision v's, which i had always wanted (initially, it was these or the karts, and the karts won). $2.07 93 octane ftw.
LIC?? somewhere off the LIE in queens...
absence's favorite spot :thumbsup:
new shoes (accompanied by fresh meat) yet again.
245/35/18 rubber:
weird pic. kinda looks like hdr, but it's just the way the light hits the paint in this particular spot.
next...??? :thumbsup:
special thanks to the car's family doctor, dan gsr. plastic surgeon, neurosurgeon, nurse practitioner... dan does it all, and makes it all look easy :thumbup: car wouldn't be where she is today without the hour+ treks to strong island...
