I hope ApplePay takes off - way past time someone broke open the mobile payments market. I've had ISIS (now Softcard) since it came out but there are so few merchants in the DC/Baltimore area. Dumbass Verizon won't allow Google Wallet either. But otherwise, my GS5 (and Note 2 for that matter)...
I've been an Apple fanboi for years and very much locked into their ecosystem with 2 Macs and an iPad. Having said that, got a GS5 when they came out and love the thing - best phone I've owned. TouchWhiz blows but otherwise, it's a wonderful device. I'm not a terribly advanced user - actual...
I have the greatest job in the world - cancer survivor :D. Actually I work from home as an auditor for a small contract labor company. We provide remote coding and auditing services for hospitals across the U.S. Most of the time I'm auditing charts along with some revenue cycle assistance...
the spotter mirrors are very good. Had them in practically every Ford rental I've gotten (I travel a lot for business) and love them. Have often wondered why everyone else can't do this? From an engineering perspective they're awesome. Simple, elegant, ZERO moving parts and extremely cost...
My name's Dave. I have decided, at the advanced age of 49, that it's time to buy something with a V-8 and burn up as much gasoline as possible. I actually like my current GTI but (1) it's starting to feel a little slow and (2) I'm tired of putting too much power to the wrong wheels. Previous...
well, I'm in old fart mode tonight :headbang: so:

I am running a flashed 2010 GTI (APR stage II). Did the flash at 5,000 miles. ZERO problems, loads of fun and probably slightly better highway mileage. Had TWO water pumps crap out on me (known 2.0 TSI VW/Audi issue) and dealer fixed both times under warranty. No questions, no flash issues...
The Recaros (at least on the last gen) were awesome. And if I planned on significant track time or autocrossing at all, I'd spend the money for them and be thrilled. On a daily driver in Maryland? Not willing to give up the heat/cool functionality and spend money to do so. I'm glad to hear...
One of the first things I did on my GTI was disable the DRLs because in 2010 they were the main HID bulbs! I was not going to fork over $1,500 to replace prematurely burned out light due to stupid requirements from outside the US. Fogs need to be separate lights, down low and really should be...
:amen: I'm on car #7 currently. All with manual transmissions.
When shopping for a GTI in 2009, I drove two back to back. Same driver (me), same roads, same car. DSG vs. Manual. DSG was much smoother, probably faster and hit every downshift perfectly rev-matched compared to my pathetic...
I'm glad someone else think this as well. Plus, although the car doesn't really NEED that much more power, I WANT more ponies under the hood. That's why I'm seriously looking at the GT - if power corrupts, then 5 liters, improved air flow, a great start up bark and a 15 bhp bump corrupts...
I'm in the same boat. Have always had 3 pedals in the car and keeping it that way with the next one. If we're going to electric cars soon anyway, might as well enjoy shifting while we can. Tesla S has what? 0-15,000 rpm motor and a reduction gear?
:D Just in case anyone's interested, a quick perusal of tirerack.com shows that new P Zeros in 275/40-19 go for $315 a pop. So yeah, that could get REALLY pricey pretty quickly! :shocked:
I've driven with BMW's on the 3 series. Washed out with prescription sunglasses (polarized) so the HUD was worthless to me in daylight. Haven't seen the one on the C7 so not sure what GM's latest & greatest looks like.
Unless I go back to Montana, doubt that I'll ever get to wring anything out much past 120 on the East Coast. Did hit 135 in a rental Maxima (allegedly capped at 128 mph) heading back to Miles City from Billings on I-94 East. One beautiful thing about that state! :love: Lots of highway, very...
