Besides, my g/f has the company car and that's a s***-ton more fun to drive than my car. It's a 1995 Miader :) no wonder so many people have these cars! This is my second weekend with the car, it's so much damn fun.

miata as their company car?! what company is that?
 
She works for a mortgage company in murrrlin, I think next week she's going to get the 98 miader. I'm looking forward to that :)

Her boss is just really cool, there are a bunch of other cars, but they're not quite as cool.

i gotta do my plugs too...changing the oil today, 3200, i'm late! going to try mobile 1 filter, don't ask me why, maybe becaus ei use mobile 1 oil???

well, i actually picked up some oil today for the P5 and Jetta. i actually got a Mobil 1 filter, too........auto zone for 29.99 (mobil 1 filter and 5 qts of mobil1) this week. went to visit LXPony......

got the dino castrol for the Jetta like VW wants owners to.

maybe i will do a couple oil changes tomorrow AM?

Mark, if you were late at 3200 mile, i must be super late at 9K'ish........the jetta has about 4K since last change.

just ordered a new head unit. kenwood excelon kdc-x790. going to check out some new speakers later tonight.
 
I installed my RR-Racing Under Drive Pulley, hoping to give you my butt dyno results but 2 miles down the road I got a flat tire so results will have to wait. Anyway, heres what I did find out, the old pulley weighed in at 5 lbs on my digital scale at work and the RR-Racing pulley only weighed .5 lbs. Thats a 4.5 lb savings, should be able to feel something I hope.
 
ordered some rockford fosgate front speakers 6x8. can't wai to get this stuff and try it out. i love ordering things for the car. i feel all warm and gooey inside(wiggle)

(rlaugh) yeah, i guess. looks good though!

i've always wondered what the roads are like in alaska. i went with my dad a few years ago on one of his trips up north for work. from alberta into nwt - mostly ft. liard, ft. simpson, lutsalke (i think that's how you spell it, we always call it looks-okay :) ), etc. we ended up leaving our car in northern alberta and renting an explorer because the roads weren't the greatest, even in the towns. i'd be scared to take my car on some of the roads - she'd shake apart.

that being said, i did see a brand new mercedes convertible with nwt plates last summer... he's braver than i would be (shocked)
 
roads aren't the best (ruts pull me all over the place), but they're better than BC canada or the Yukon... harsh on the way up here...

The RR-Racing UDP, my header, and my MP3 ECU are the only 3 performance mods I actually noticed a performance difference with.
 
I thought to myself "Damn, I miss ol' Blue." Sept. 2nd, here I come...sortof...
