Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States

Here is a totally one of a kind GTI with low miles. This car garners attention wherever it goes, and has had a ton of online exposure as well. This car means a lot to me and the only reason I'm selling is because I have too many cars as it is. Lets start out with the basics: it has 46,000 miles on it with no mechanical issues present. The car is far from stock, however mostly oem parts were used in the build. The exterior is in 9.9/10 condition with a lot of tasteful, subtle mods: the front end was lightly damaged by a tire tread on the highway, which coerced me into buying a Jetta Wolfsburg front upper and lower center grille ($300) with r-line fog grilles ($120) housing projector foglights ($120), the front bumper is a stock gti bumper with the ugly washer covers and sidemarkers professionally shaved ($600-$800) and an oem Votex Lip installed ($300). The fenders aren't mangled like many lowered cars are, and neither are the quarters. The stock body has ugly rubstrips running down the sides, with something like 18 holes to hold them in. These strips have been shaved, filled, and welded like they were never there. The sideskirts are votex sideskirts ($200), and the rear bumper is an oem r32 unit ($800+paint) with a rare shaved lower valence ($300). The entire car has been resprayed in a custom pearl white (looks hyper white in most light, but put it under a parking lot light or in a parking garage and the blue really comes out (my favorite feature on the car) The taillights are oem euro led's ($550). The car will come on a set of rare BBS Impuls in MINT condition, and sized at 18x8/9et38 with good tires ($2,500 before tires). Also included are the factory huffs with Michelin Pilot Aplin 2/3s with tons of tread left. The car is sitting on a top of the line airride system, no cheap parts anywhere in this system. It has airlift slam series front bags, with ss5 rears mounted in d-cups. The management is accuair e-level (the best) with a cleanly installed rocker switch to control it, with dual 444c compressors, 3/8 inch line, dual watertraps (the airride kit without the trunk setup is $4000)The trunk has a completely custom dual tank hardline setup painted to match the exterior of the car ($1500 just for the parts and hardware alone). Inside you will find a semting touchscreen navigation headunit with wiring that needs to be checked since it produces a lot of static, a complete oem leather seat swap, a euro dash cubby euro lower dash cubby, euro switch, full led lighting, (the sub and amp will not be included, but the wiring will be left in. Move on to the engine bay and you will find a neuspeed pflo intake, an external oil catch can, oem rev D diverter valve, APR stage one ecu, full mount kit including engine, trans, and dogbone mounts to make the car more dynamic ($500 for the mounts). Any issues the car has are extremely minor, and like I said this is a well known and appreciated car in Chicago, with a bit of a following. I was going to part it out but decided that someone on here might be able to get as much enjoyment out of it that I did. Its a great driver with an almost perfect exterior, and an almost perfect interior (no blemishes or tears anywear).

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
VW recalls 1.1M Jetta, Beetle models in US, China over suspension fears
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Volkswagen is recalling about 1.1 million vehicles in China and North America in a newly announced campaign affecting the rear suspensions on some models. For the US, the action covers about 442,265 vehicles, including 400,602 examples of its 2011-2013 Jetta and 41,663 units of the 2012-2013 Beetle and Beetle Convertible. According to Reuters, the recall affects a further 126,000 vehicles in Canada and about 581,090 in China, including related market-specific models like the Sagitar.
The problem can occur if the affected models have a collision to the rear or the side-rear of the vehicle. It's then possible for the trailing arms on the torsion-beam rear suspension to be damaged. If the harm isn't noticed, then the part could fracture while driving. Obviously, a broken rear suspension is going to have an adverse effect on handling.
To fix things, VW dealers will inspect the trailing arms on the models, and they will all receive a sheetmetal part that will make a distinctive sound if broken in the future. If already damaged, the entire torsion beam will be replaced. Obviously, this work will be done at no charge to owners.
Auto execs surveyed say VW, BMW most likely to grow
Thu, 17 Jan 2013A new survey of top global automotive executives indicates both Volkswagen and BMW are the most likely to grow their market share over the next five years.
Tax advisory firm KPMG LLP has released its 14th annual Global Automotive Executive Survey, which includes responses from over 200 executives. A total of 81 percent of respondents said they expect to see Volkswagen make gains, compared to 70 percent last year. BMW, meanwhile, saw 70 percent of those surveyed say they believe the company will increase its market share. That's a jump of 7 percentage points over last year. This is the first time in the history of the survey that BMW has claimed the second-place spot.
Meanwhile, Hyundai has seen its perceived market share potential slacken for the third year in a row. Around 61 percent of those surveyed predicted gains for Hyundai, down from 63 in 2012. Toyota also has a surprising year, but for just the opposite reason. While the manufacturer had slipped in ranking since 2011, it enjoyed the largest increase of any company in the 2013 survey, jumping to 68 percent from 44 percent last year.
