If i still had my bug, i would have traded my turbo s seats for those.

I'm surprised you didn't grab a set TS seats, you would have had a faux silver color concept interior.

Couldn't find TS seats. Otherwise I would have. These were my 2nd best option. Maybe if I find TS seats I may still trade up, but for now, these are pretty awesome.

So, it's been forever since I've taken good pics of my man, but here are some that I had on my phone. I've been busy as a bee, and sadly Probie is kinda becoming a "work" car and not so much a "show" car at this point. Show season is approaching and that won't last forever. He IS my show car daily driver

First, Probie hit a HUGE milestone with me...




Working overnights allows me to see some frosty-ness that poor Probie has to endure


Went to a TDI gtg in Chapin, SC this weekend. I had to change my coolant temp sensor and get the codes cleared so my CEL and Airbag light would go away. But of course, I stayed late enough...the boys wanted to have a little more fun with my car.

So...up in the air he went...


Here is Landon, one of the gurus, beating the ever-loving-stew out of my catalytic converter...


Once that cat-delete was complete, the boys still weren't done. Jeff from RocketChip decided he wanted to chip my car...and boy am I SOOO glad he did!!!


planning on getting him on the dyno soon again to see what kind of power this RC 2+ is putting in the motor! Probie is LOVING being able to pass people with little to no effort. Plus the cat-delete makes him sound like a big diesel truck. He's got all kinds of testosterone flowing through him at the moment. I think I'm developing a Napoleon complex in my little car.

Here is me and Stevi and her car Buggee hanging out at Panda Express one day.


And my most recent milestone


Still lots in the works for my little guy. I'm hoping to have a lot of fun parts come ToD. But we'll see how the funds play out. That's all for now.

I'll take a better pic of it when I get off work. It's silver and some kind of blue metal. I think I got it at the flea market in Knoxville, tn. There was a guy who makes them. I can see if my brother can check it out again to see if he's still there. Maybe he'd be willing to make more for those that want them and I could pass them out at ToD.

I don't know just how I missed this thread all these years. Oh my!

I lovelovelove what you have done with your New Beetle! Awesome choice on seats! I miss my NBs with the sport seats.

Wow, congratulations on the milestone. Probie is gorgeous! I have a long way to go before I get to 200,000.

Woot! Woot! An update on Gayle's buddy Probie! Congrats on hitting the 200K mark! Nice to see you got rid of Probie's lights and also got the cat delete and a chip!!! I think Gayle felt bad because his CEL came on about 70 miles after I had cleared it and now after 1K miles, his light is off too! His light turned off after this weekend. Keep sending good vibes Gayle's way Probie. He needs his airbag light off too.

Michelle, say on your new headlights, what did you end up installing? Were they the OEM kit ecode found on eBay?
