I had my 2011 that I bought new in October 2010, and I had my 2017 I bought in 2018 and sold for the GR86. Had the 2017 STi between the two.
:impressive:

Also epic me … never owned a GTI. I just bought a 2011 TDI back in 2010 as my first ever new car. I can’t believe it’s been this long !
15 years ago almost ! I traded it back under diesel settlement in 2016
Impressive? MK6 to MK7 would have been a worthwhile upgrade even without the STi between the two. My only regret with the MK7 was that I didn't buy it new.

I totally forgot that you had 2 different gen eggs and thinking of a 3rd. It's nice and consistent. I still can't make up my mind on getting another.

So there are no dealers willing to budge on shitvic markup …
8 or so were called in a 200 mile radius … wild.

I’m thinking it’s the tax season bump … people flush with cash making terrible decisions

It's a racing yellow Cayman S with black wheels. Some sort of aftermarket or optional sports exhaust tips in black as well. I don't remember her name but in due time sir.
