Went to VWOA during lunch break. Walked into the open-to-the-public lobby, where they had 2 showrooms (one for VW and one for Audi.) $12/hour security guard greets me. I introduce myself, and let him know I am here to look at the cars. He tells me “sir I cannot allow you to do that unless you have an appointment.” So I ask him to call the corporate security point of contact so I can explain myself to them. CS guy comes down, I introduce myself, give him a business card, explain I have a VW GTI and I work down the street. “I wanted to look at some of the cars in the showroom, and I was told I wasn’t allowed unless I had an appointment” CS Guy looks at contracted security guard, then back at me, then says “why wouldn’t you be allowed? It’s an open space.” I told him “that’s what I was told”. We then talked about corporate security things for a while, exchanged information, and then he went on his way and I got to look at some nice cars.

Corporate Security guy offered to show me some of the cooler cars but I didn’t have time as I was on a 1 hour lunch. We exchanged information and I told him I’d follow up with him.

Shameless post of my GoRf as I wait by the front lobby of a client for my contact person to show up.

I'm really happy with my choice to go CR70 all around, windshield included. It fits the look of the car perfectly IMO and gives a clear but comfortable UV free view of the world even at night or during rainy/dreary mornings like today was.

This picture/lighting shows off the true tone of the tint film accurately.

Oh man, I do like that tint on the blue. Nice choice

Thanks man, the are 5/7 on the bloo and I recommend the transparency. When I was kid darker was better but I've gotten really fussy about dark tints on blue, green and purple cars for some reason.

Also, a LOT of different-level modifies HQ/manufacturer registered VAG cars. From an S4 with all the mods to the Atlas to everything in between. Spotted a Bentayga in the garage as well.

That green is

[Gberg2119]

I like the Arteon but I'm afraid it'll be a flop. VW is probably going to try and sell them at close to $40k. Then again, this is coming from a GoRf driver.

I sort of want to turn my wife's Touareg into an off road beast, lifted on mudders and see what it's made of.

Had to do a double take... I thought it was a grand cherokee.

I felt like the interior of the arteon is way played out, overstyled

Never occurred to me to get lighter tint and it may work on different colors. I'd always only tinted my cars that were white because I only tinted super dark.

Is that tint heat blocking or just cosmetic? Need to look into this for my gray Mazda

It's got the same heat repelling properties as the 30% ceramic stuff. XPEL makes it.

VERY interesting. I might look into this for my I've been wanting to tint the front windows, but don't want to go that dark.

There's a new thread on golfmk7 that rivals crangshaft.

Dude hits a deer head on and notices coolant spilled out on the ground underneath the car. He proceeds to drive the remaining 6 miles home as the car is overheating and telling him to pull over. Starts a thread asking if he damaged the car.
