Yes, I admit my car does need some TLC, but it's a daily driver, and I commute about 300-400 miles a week for work.

I've also kept everything stock for the Turbo S model, and believed myself to be entering into a stock class at Englishtown. I guess they did away with stock, mild, and wild, and stuck all us "milds" and "stocks" together.

Hey i meant no offense Dana. I hope you don't hold it against me. You seemed nice, even though we barely spoke. I was trying to keep my distance because Kelly and i have had a disagreement in the past and i was just trying to keep things fun for everyone.

Honestly, your car doesn't need much. Just some little things that you probably already know about. I'm daily driver as well so i feel the pain on that aspect. I almost didn't show up on Sunday because i wasn't as ready as i wanted to be. I left the house that day believing i'd lose. My wheel wells were caked in tar, my back seats had water stains, my drivers seat cloth is frayed, my polished manifold isn't finished, my tinted taillights faded out and i had to replace them, the chrome ring on my fog light is cracked, i have chips and scratches galore, and the list goes on.

Still, at least we all walked away with trophies. That was a nice bonus.

Congrats again pants!

I'm sorry Gina - I had the stripes ordered the night I bought the car, before I even saw yours! They just hadn't come in before VAG Fair.

Please don't be mad at me for "copying" or anything...

[GINA]

Nah. It gives me an excuse to take them off and put something custom on

sorry i never made it over to meet any of you.
i was busy trying to get my car to hook up on the track, which never really happened.
i either bogged down due to not launching at a high enough rpm or spun due to launching at to high of an rpm and not being able to slip the clutch right.
my best run was 14.4 @ 105mph.
kinda frustrating.

Regarding your previous post...
It takes a great deal of time to get your car to a respectable "show" quality, daily driver or not. Especially when you buy it used. It took me a long ass time to go through different products and stuff, figure out what worked, what didn't. Once everything was up to snuff, it's all about upkeep. There's little things you'll learn as you go to more shows, it's all about experience! But have fun. I'll see you next season

good luck with the move! does pepper get a garage?

[GINA]

No That'll make for difficult parking arrangements trying to dodge door dings.

know how you feel on that one - lady gets stuck in a parking garage in philly 3 nights a week. i've contemplated putting a cover on her whenever i park her just to keep her safe!
