Vernon Hills, Illinois, United States

Here is a totally one of a kind GTI with low miles. This car garners attention wherever it goes, and has had a ton of online exposure as well. This car means a lot to me and the only reason I'm selling is because I have too many cars as it is. Lets start out with the basics: it has 46,000 miles on it with no mechanical issues present. The car is far from stock, however mostly oem parts were used in the build. The exterior is in 9.9/10 condition with a lot of tasteful, subtle mods: the front end was lightly damaged by a tire tread on the highway, which coerced me into buying a Jetta Wolfsburg front upper and lower center grille ($300) with r-line fog grilles ($120) housing projector foglights ($120), the front bumper is a stock gti bumper with the ugly washer covers and sidemarkers professionally shaved ($600-$800) and an oem Votex Lip installed ($300). The fenders aren't mangled like many lowered cars are, and neither are the quarters. The stock body has ugly rubstrips running down the sides, with something like 18 holes to hold them in. These strips have been shaved, filled, and welded like they were never there. The sideskirts are votex sideskirts ($200), and the rear bumper is an oem r32 unit ($800+paint) with a rare shaved lower valence ($300). The entire car has been resprayed in a custom pearl white (looks hyper white in most light, but put it under a parking lot light or in a parking garage and the blue really comes out (my favorite feature on the car) The taillights are oem euro led's ($550). The car will come on a set of rare BBS Impuls in MINT condition, and sized at 18x8/9et38 with good tires ($2,500 before tires). Also included are the factory huffs with Michelin Pilot Aplin 2/3s with tons of tread left. The car is sitting on a top of the line airride system, no cheap parts anywhere in this system. It has airlift slam series front bags, with ss5 rears mounted in d-cups. The management is accuair e-level (the best) with a cleanly installed rocker switch to control it, with dual 444c compressors, 3/8 inch line, dual watertraps (the airride kit without the trunk setup is $4000)The trunk has a completely custom dual tank hardline setup painted to match the exterior of the car ($1500 just for the parts and hardware alone). Inside you will find a semting touchscreen navigation headunit with wiring that needs to be checked since it produces a lot of static, a complete oem leather seat swap, a euro dash cubby euro lower dash cubby, euro switch, full led lighting, (the sub and amp will not be included, but the wiring will be left in. Move on to the engine bay and you will find a neuspeed pflo intake, an external oil catch can, oem rev D diverter valve, APR stage one ecu, full mount kit including engine, trans, and dogbone mounts to make the car more dynamic ($500 for the mounts). Any issues the car has are extremely minor, and like I said this is a well known and appreciated car in Chicago, with a bit of a following. I was going to part it out but decided that someone on here might be able to get as much enjoyment out of it that I did. Its a great driver with an almost perfect exterior, and an almost perfect interior (no blemishes or tears anywear).

VW debuts Get Happy Super Bowl ad
Mon, 28 Jan 2013
Brace yourself for another tidal wave of Super Bowl commercials. Volkswagen has released its spot for this year's big game. Set to air during the second quarter, the Get Happy spot follows one jubilant office worker as he makes his way through the day, spreading joy wherever he goes. The source of his happiness? A Volkswagen Beetle, of course. Now, if you're wondering why a gaggle of white guys are running around on your screen with Jamaican accents, it will help to know the spot is part of a larger Get Happy campaign featuring Jimmy Cliff.
The first ad in the series featured the artist singing his rendition of "C'Mon, Get Happy," complete with a little help from some notorious unhappy YouTube stars. You can take a look at the new ad before it airs below, along with the complete press release for a little more background.
UAW tactics called into question at VW's TN plant
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The United Auto Workers is in hot water with some of the very workers it is trying to unionize at Volkswagen's Chattanooga assembly plant. According to The Tennessean, eight Volkswagen factory workers have filed complaints against the UAW with the National Labor Relations Board, claiming the union "misled or coerced" them into formally asking for union representation.
The UAW has instituted a major push at the Chattanooga plant to represent the 2,500 hourly laborers that build the VW Passat by using what's called a card-check process. The tactic is opposed by the National Right to Work Legal Defense foundation, the group representing the workers. The card-check process demands that a company recognize a union that obtains the signatures of more than half its workforce, according to The Tennessean. This tactic is in contrast to the more traditional route, which sees employees vote on union representation.
The workers filing the complaint claim that the UAW told them the cards merely called for a secret ballot, rather than an outright demand for union representation. Workers also allege that the UAW has made it overly difficult to reclaim their signed cards, some of which were signed so long ago that they have been rendered invalid. Although the cards can force a company's hand, federal law still allows the company to ask for a secret ballot before yielding to unionized workers.
Next Volkswagen Golf R to get 286 horsepower?
Tue, 12 Feb 2013The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't launched in the United States just yet, but we're already setting our sights on the range-topping R model. According to Autocar, the next Golf R will be more powerful than the current version, producing 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful production Golf ever.
Powering the new Golf R will be a further evolution of Volkswagen's well-liked 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four, and when mated to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the hotter hatch will reportedly be able to sprint to 62 miles per hour in five seconds flat. That's over half a second quicker than the current US-spec model.
Other updates for the new Golf R include the addition of VW's Haldex 5 all-wheel-drive system found in the latest iteration of 4Motion. Furthermore, thanks to the use of lightweight materials, the new R is expected to weigh in around 2,650 pounds - that's a massive 675 pounds less than the current US-spec car. The exhaust has reportedly been reworked to provide more aural delight, as well.
