I grabbed your photobucket link and edited your post... but it sticks the stupid watermark on it. Try imgur instead!

Okay I got this to work, thanks RS

anyways, I drove my much neglected GTI a few days ago up to Whistler. It's been sitting for quite some time since I got the Miata.

It's very hard to make the case to drive the GTI when you have a Miata, especially if you don't need the backseats. Today is a beautiful day where you can actually go top down. Should trade the GTI for a Prius or something lol

Agreed and if my GTI didn't have 400hp and all the suspension/braking/handling mods I would drive it even less. I usually drive it when I want to have a good time AND have friends come along. As much fun as the GTI is to drive in it's current state, I still find the Miata to be way more fun and engaging despite having a lot less power.

I already have a Camry Hybrid which I'm sure will outlive me, otherwise I'd trade in the GTI for another Toyota commuter car or an EV of some sort. Problems of the first world!

Do you have the same problem as BIC_BAWS where the GTI has too much power for the street?

On the street it's an exercise in self control but on the highways of "Mexico" it's an absolute blast!
