36k miles, price is 19k which doesn’t seem awful. I don’t know that I could do that interior though for that much money

I feel the same way about my wheels. Sometimes I think I’m the only person that actually prefers silver wheels over black.

Nah, black wheels are pretty played out/lame. I know, my car has ‘em, I’m not a fan though.

In early late 08-14 they seem to be cool. But now that some oems have adopted, Im looking at you Civic and HRV sport. It's kinda old enough to be cringy.

But yours is a GTI, not a Golf. You are ok in my book Agaphimou.

Im referring to factory fake sport trim vehicles when they're actually appearance packages.

I personally like(d) the black wheels on the current 2025 Golf R... They look good. Don't car that ya'll are trippin about it.

I think they look best on a high contrast, bright color like yours or mine. I still think silver is better almost always.

Boys, I think I'm going full cuck and taking the 'vana offer of $32.2K on the 86 today. I'm going to one car it/borrow my FIL's early 90s F150 for a bit

I think I'll be taking mine too. The 'vana offer is up to $29,200 and the sale of our house is going nowhere. Indy was a few weeks behind the national trend but the housing market here has come to a complete halt. Good bet we're going to own two houses for a period of time and get way less for ours than we thought. Freeing up $500/mo and putting $20k in the bank sounds like a pretty good idea right about now.

Your chairs gentlemen:

Neighbor with the Urus just picked up a 718 Boxster.

Looks like daughter’s Mercedes was sold, she was moved into mom’s Tesla, and mom is now driving the Porsche. Dad primarily drives the cybercuck. Urus mostly sits in the garage. Have seen it driven once.

Be more like this guy. 4 cars for three people. Two flashy af fast af dad mobiles. Wife dd's bad ass sports car with soon to be curbed rims with zero fucks given. Daughter gets an appliance.

Goals.

Sooo we just bought a house as well... Pretty stoked on it, we are getting a garage at long last, more space, two stories, no more shitty stroad we have to walk on with meth heads and trash anymore but still in the great general area we're already in and love. But the thought is throwing $32K in the bank will ease my stress levels and it was going to go anyway for the STI or whatever I get once these close out.

I just never use this car, may as well free up some money and then get something still fun I can actually use (whole family can ride in). I don't really drive anywhere by myself - WFH, bike to most errands, travel for work and drive rentals... I think I've put 500 miles or so on my car in 2025.

I don't think I've even done that many. Maybe 300 so far this year? It's been so long since I've driven it that the battery died. Never bothered to put it on a tender. Whoops.

I'd like to see my car with silver, or at least a light gray wheel. The Sharpie repair advantage is real,

Does the logo need to change to the in an office chair or something to represent cuck life? I don't think a doing a burnout applies anymore.

Where did this come from? No indication from you that you were even looking, or did I miss something?

Anyway, congrats, . Actual garage will be

I'm a fan of the OBS Ford trucks. I'm a little jelly.
Do it man, while the market is high.

I wish I was in a position to buy it. I need another orange Japanese thing in my life.
