I just remembered that Will told me to do this, its been a few months, but hey I didn't forget. So here's my intro, even though I think most people know me by now

Well, ever since I started looking for a car to drive about 2.5 years ago, I've been obsessed. I started looking at any car from any brand within my budget, and then checked it over with my parents. First car I looked at was a Lancer Ralliart, but I decided I didn't like it that much. Then there was the tC... Perfect color, manual trans, low miles, and it was an 06. I test drove it with my Dad and he said ok. Then insurance came, and completely ruined my hopes of that car. So I started checking more cars and realized how ridiculous it was going to be. Then my Dad said he might'uve found a car for me. He sent me a picture of the car.

Thats what the bone stock car looked like. I loved the model, seeing as how my mom has a GTI, and my sister has a 2dr Golf, but I wasn't really interested in it at the time. I wanted something faster to start with, but I decided to check it out anyways. I went up to the dealer and test drove it and was unimpressed, but it was a really good deal and I had to decide then. So I got it...at first I didn't like the car much, but as I drove it, it started to grow on me. I decided to spruce it up a little bit with what little cash I had and bought a Neuspeed CAI and some minor visual things.

Then it sat for awhile until my friend and I joey modded the headlights, and painted the VW badges, oh and I debadged the trunk.

Another couple months passed, and then some big upgrades went into the car. I got the rims and tires finally done and got them on the car. Then the 3" wheel gap was fixed with some FK Germany springs/struts. Then finished with a 25mm Neuspeed FSB Thanks to Mike and Scott for this!

And here's the car currently, soon to have a new exhaust system and something else performance wise. Thanks for reading.
