Here is my first brand new car. It is a 2003 Jetta GLS TDI 5-speed. Picked it up on 7/14/2003. It is pretty much as loaded as a TDI can get: leather interior, heated seats, power windows/locks, Monsoon sound system and a moonroof. Sold the Jetta in May 2005.

Comments
nice to see a TDI tricked!
I like this car! Nice to see more TDI's here on the site
I also did the EGR mod.
What are your stats? HP/NM ?
where did you find these evo's? theyve been discontinued everywhere, and they are sex
Bought them used from a vwvortex.com member. And then sold them to another member before selling the car. Actually got all of my money back for the wheels...so I basically drove around on "free" whees/tires for 2 years!
Modifications Made
How it was Used: 18" Mille Miglia Evo 5 Wheels with Sumitomo HTRZ II 225/40/18 Tires
Price Paid: $1000
How it was Used: The Monsoon sounds decent but it just didn't have enough range so I upgraded the headunit to a Kenwood KDC-MP922 and added a Rockford Fosgate RFB4121 enclosure factory packed with a 12" HE Series Subwoofer. It is being pumped by a Rockford Fosgate 301S 900 watt peak/200 watt RMS amp.
Price Paid: $400

platinumgls used to own:
Here is one of my old cars, a silver 1996 Pontiac TransAm. I was the second owner and had it from April 1999 to October 2003.
It was an awesome car. Had these features: LT1 5.7L V8, leather interior, power windows/locks, 12-disc factory changer and my favorite...T-TOPS!
It was all stock except for the tinted windows (35% sides/5% rear).
Here is a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z that I bought my senior year of high school (1997-98) and sold it after 2 years to buy the Trans Am.
Wasn't very fast and was all stock including the 305 TPI V8 but that didn't matter because it sure did look good! The car was in such great condition that I actually got more attention in that then I ever did in the Trans Am!
Bought this car in November 2002 for use as a work and winter car. Found it on ebay with only 33,000 miles for $2,500!
Here is a picture of my 2000 Suzuki GSXR 750. I bought it two weeks after this new model came out...back before the GSXR 1000 and when they use to compare this bike to liter bikes like the R1, 929 and ZX9.
I did a few mods including a Yosh carbon fiber RS3 Race only slip-on, Powercomander II, replaced the front signals with carbon fiber/smoked lensed short stalks, carbon fiber heel gaurds, chopped rear fender and signals, rear signals integrated into brake light, license plate mounted down near rear shock, black 'no-drill' frame sliders and a dark smoked Zero-Gravity double bubble windscreen.
Sold it before I moved to Las Vegas in 2005.
