The Douglas radials handle sooo much better than the Toyo snow tires. Sucks buying tires to drive a couple thousand miles , but, ripping through chicago today was a friggin blast. The 2.0 16v with the short ratio gearbox was made for that crap.She kills these cludge fu#@*s. Can't wait to get to the coast with it. Really bums me out that I don't have the resources to keep two GLIs happy.
It's not how fast you go. It's how well you go fast.

Big thanks to you Trev and Carl for making the run. It was short but sweet!

Already got to work on her this morning. Had to do something about the wheels and take off the rest of the busted trim. She is going to be a small bumper car soon anyway.
Thanks again Trev! now you can go buy another one!
