    Not really an issue here for 10 months of the year, and even then it is hot enough to dry it out 😂. Cleaned some of the rust out 4WDing rained down onto the dash from the roof

    The Golf R was 100hp stronger, but 8” lower as well. $10000 more too.
    Not good in deep snow, all wheel drive or not.
    This Golf alltrack has the same 1.8t as I have in my modified Corrado, and with tweaks, that engine became a beast. Not sure till I research it if I can do the same, but all wheel drive, 6 spd standard tranny, and they threw in the (still to be applied) tint job for free.
    Has every modern safety feature and Bluetooth crap for the cell phone integration yada yada..
    Should do for my daily driver for a few years.

    Ha! One of my best friends has that exact car, same colour and everything, same story, something practical, now, he loves it, been in it a few times and it really is top of the line, well done car.

    Got all the bells and whistles, drives beautifully, tons of space, fantastic on the roads, like I said, he grew to love it more and more, now, he'll never get an SUV/CUV again, either a wagon or a sports down the road.

    Congratulations, think you made a great choice......:-)

    Not anything vintage but picked up a 2018 Wrangler JLU and then did a 2.5” lift and put 315 KO2’s on it to give me some light off road ability

    I think both of you need to take your vehicles to the decal shop and personalize them.

    Put a Harley decal and a stick figure family in the back window.

    You will be different then!

    The wife got three green stripes on her civic to make it less mundane and more unique. I wish I had a picture.

    There is some super cool stuff you can do with decals.
    The second set is almost ghosted with the dark paint. I like the effect of that. The smart car is super clever. The last one is pretty loud and not quite my style, but high vis colours in a camo pattern down the Center of a truck would work for me. I may at some point do that to my boring white GMC half ton.
