Greetings everyone. Just a brief background, I just obtained a new job after graduating from college a few months ago. I've been driving a '94 Jeep Grand Cherokee for several years now (just to get through school and all) and decided it was time to get something new(er). I test drove several vehicles and was about to purchase a brand new Civic when I drove by the local VW dealership in Madison, Tennessee. I couldn't afford a new GTI, but the MKIVs were always one of my favorite cars on the road. I asked if they had any used GTIs and he said no (pristine condition, used MKVIs are rare to find here). So, I was about to drive off and the salesman ran to my Jeep and said, "Wait, we just got one yesterday from a guy trading up for a new GTI." I test drove it - the first time I had ever driven a GTI. I pretty much decided then and there, aside from background checks and detailing, I was going to leave with it.
Sitting inside to where I can see my '05 Reflex Silver GTI, I can barely wipe the grin off my face. It's completely amazing. Now I can see (and feel) what the other posts and 'new buyer testimonies' are all about. Glad to be here.
I'm considering buying a new set of rims within the next year or so (once I can get well-started on my financing stuff...). I really, really like the MKVs with the 18" Huffs (especially the one somewhere on this site with the powder-coated black Huffs - absolutely amazing), but I'm not sure how they'd look on my MKIV. If this question/thought is somewhere else on the boards, my bad - I didn't see anyone else ask about the Huffs on an '05. Otherwise, I have also looked at some 18" BBS rims - they'd definitely be niiice. Any advice/opinions?
Also, I've been looking at some alarm systems on the market. The only product line I'm remotely familiar with is Viper. If anyone would care to share their advice, experience or bashings for alarm systems, I would be very grateful.
I would ask about radar detectors, but the massive thread on that has helped out a great deal already!
Thanks for your time!
