Re: TRUCK STUFF! (actually its just a passat)

Shyte haven't updated this in a while! I've just been driving this thing through this frigid cold-ass winter we've been having. The heated seats in this thing are absolutely fantastic, they warm up before the engine does when its super cold and keep me comfy.

Zero issues through any of the snowstorms we've had or the weeks and weeks of hardened-ice roadways we've had lately. Even with FWD the thing does fine. It's not AWD awesome but with these General snow tires the thing can scoot just dandy. It's plowed its way in/out of my alley with 6-8" of snow no problem and hauled more stuff than I really should share...here's some highlights:

Found an 'umbrella cubby' in the back edge of the door...so many sekret hiding spots on this car, its nuts:


Ski trip, 4 so far this year:


Xmas haul, first big road trip...3 people, 2 dogs, week of luggage + xmas presents:


Inside nice & comfy for long haul, my brother chillin with Turbo in the back seat:


My dad has a roof-top box, fitted it to my Thule rack just fine! Will be going to Montana with 4 people (total) in the car in a month just like this:





And now, more truck stuff! I ordered a set of Alzor 18x8" wheels online...these things are usually on backorder around this time of year since they look nice and are SO cheap...but ordered Thursday and voila they show up at my house Saturday....only like 6 weeks early for spring, LOL. I honestly thought I'd be waiting a month for them!


(Cameo by Jilly--she's 14.5 now)

I have some 245/40-18 Fuzion ZRi tires off of project Black ValentNine to put on here, or I also have two used-but-not-too-abused Sumitomo HTR ZIII's off of my X (fronts wore out prematurely due to alignment issues a few years ago) that I might order matching tires for....anyone have two used tires in this size?
