Well I have successfully avoided posting.....until I saw a car thread.  Anyway my DD is an 08 VW GLI.  Only thing done to is so far is a Stage 1 APR tune and Evoms intake.  Not a rocket by any means but unsuspecting enough to surprise people when I start chirping wheels at 3rd and 4th.  2.0T=Turbo for the masses

We had one of those before it got swapped for a Mazdaspeed6. Only reason it got swapped was for AWD. Nice car.

Couple of my favorite cars that I owned.  Due to the economy/bills I was forced to sell so now I have something more economical and less fun.
 

It had a few performance mods and I painted the engine covers for aesthetics 

Here's another car I had (picture is photoshopped)

My last (i.e. previous) car:
 

 
Eye-catching and fun to drive (it's one of the few Harlequins with a 5-speed) - but way too much trouble.  Rust all over, bad brake lines (had one burst 60 miles from home - drove home with only the parking brake and engine braking), and just plain too much work.
 
I'm not sure what I'll get next when I get back to the US.  It needs more ground clearance though - I always had trouble with that.  Maybe a Volvo 740 Turbo Wagon, or a diesel Mercedes, or a first gen Isuzu Trooper, Land Cruiser, or a '90s BMW wagon.  Whatever it is, it needs to be able to fit my 4-foot tall speakers in the back, take a rack, and have a stick.  4WD and/or traction control is a bonus, FWD is a definite no-no.
