Montgomery, Texas, United States

This has been my daily driver for the past five years and as such will show it's 11 years and 170k miles on it. With that said though, I take very good care of my cars and this one has not been an exception. When I originally purchased it I swapped out just about everything that was rubber or rotated and then started adding on the power and handling mods. The car plus mod list easily went over $20k and was worth every penny of it. With the proper tires on it (not LRR) it can almost hang with a Mini Cooper S on the track (~3sec / lap slower at H2R). Yet when you leave it on the street it can still pull out 800 miles per tank of fuel and I regularly get 55-58mpg driving to work with the cruise set to 65mph. It averages 50mpg per tank as long as you drive nicely, yet you don't have to hyper-mile or do anything other than set the cruise to the speed limit.
The 2003 is also the last year of the old 2 door TDI cars, yet the first year of the power windows and locks on them. It took me almost a year to find this car back when I got it due to the fact I wanted a 2 door car with power windows. Just not that many of them out there. If you are looking for a boring stock TDI this is not the car for you. Please read up on the mods before even thinking of purchasing. I haven't done anything radical to it that would affect its drive-ability, but please don't expect to buy it for KBB or what you found on craigslist for a jacked up 300k mile 4 door beater with a salvaged title... But, it also is not a show car and does need a few things if you want it to look and drive like new. Headliner and door cards are starting to bubble from the heat and glue taking their toll on the foam padding. Airbag light recently came on and is not turning off, in the past it has had a slight grind when shifting from 1st to 2nd at the higher end of the rpm range. Paint is peeling off of one hubcap. Quite a few rock chips and dings all visible in the photos. I'm quite honest with condition of items, so if you have questions don't hesitate to ask. Leave your number in a message to me and I will give you a call to go over everything that I have ran across in the past five years. Not that it matters, but I am only getting rid of the car for something a bit larger and more comfortable. I do have the car listed in other places and reserve the right to pull the ad at any time should it sell. On to the parts list; The below items are just off my spreadsheet of parts/prices, but they do show probably 95% of what has been done to the car and everything is currently installed.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore
Thu, Jan 11 2024The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery. A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

Editors' Picks May 2021 | BMW M3, Toyota Camry and some hot Golfs
Thu, Jun 3 2021We awarded Editors’ Picks status to a number of performance cars this month, but a couple more regular sedans won out, too. April saw us recognize four models, but that increases to six for May. As the weather warms up here in Michigan, we tend to get into the sports cars that we missed driving all winter, resulting in a sports car-heavy month of testing. That explains why the list this month is so heavy on sports cars and hot hatches. In case you missed our previous couple Editors' Picks posts, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in May that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Toyota Camry 2021 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid View 22 Photos Quick take: The Toyota Camry retains its place as one of the best midsize sedans you can buy. It comes in a variety of trims and powertrains, from the potent TRD model to the fuel-sipping hybrid. It's an attractive, functional and well-rounded car offering value and function. Score: 8.5 What it competes with: Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, Kia K5, Nissan Altima, Mazda6, Subaru Legacy, VW Passat, Chevy Malibu Pros: Highly versatile, efficient hybrid, fun-to-drive sport models Cons: Average infotainment, polarizing exterior, slow base four-cylinder From the editors: Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore — “The Camry is one of the standard bearers in the midsize segment. With many companies abandoning this area, the ones that remain — like Toyota — do it well. Long a bastion of boring design and sleepy driving dynamics, the Camry is now legitimately attractive and offers a range of powertrains. It's a solid entry and along with the Honda Accord, makes the case for midsize sedans to exist." In-depth analysis: 2021 Toyota Camry Review | What's new, pictures, hybrid and AWD fuel economy  2022 Volkswagen GTI The new Volkswagen Golf GTI View 23 Photos Quick take: With engaging dynamics and distinctive styling, the GTI remains the standard for enthusiast hatches.
Senators want civil, criminal actions against VW
Tue, Sep 29 2015With the Department of Justice just beginning its investigation into Volkswagen's emissions evading diesels, Senators Richard Blumenthal and Amy Klobuchar are pushing for the automaker to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law both civilly and criminally. In a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, they press the agency to make its scrutiny "thorough but expeditious." The politicians allege that VW misled people while pumping huge amounts of pollution into the air. The Senators believe that all the information about VW's actions needs to make it to the public eye, and the DOJ must have a strong response to the automaker breaking the law. "Officials at Volkswagen should be granted no get out of jail free card, and the Department should accept no plea agreement with Volkswagen that does not ensure any and all information regarding criminal acts by high level officials is provided to the Department," they write. Senator Blumenthal is no stranger for championing changes in the auto industry as of late. He was an advocate for the General Motors Ignition Switch Compensation Fund and pushed for a similar organization for Takata airbag victims. He has also been a staunch supporter for greater automotive cyber security. Blumenthal, Klobuchar: Department of Justice Should Take Strong Civil and Criminal Actions Against Volkswagen for Any Violations Monday, September 28, 2015 Condemns Volkswagen's actions that misled hundreds of thousands of consumers and resulted in tens of thousands of tons of additional pollution emissions Calls for thorough but expeditious investigation (Washingtion, DC) – U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and U.S Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) today urged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to take strong civil and criminal actions against Volkswagen for any violations following the German carmaker's actions that misled hundreds of thousands of American consumers and resulted in tens of thousands of tons of additional pollution emissions. In a letter to Attorney General Loretta Lynch, the senators called for a "thorough but expeditious" investigation. "Officials at Volkswagen should be granted no get out of jail free card, and the Department should accept no plea agreement with Volkswagen that does not ensure any and all information regarding criminal acts by high level officials is provided to the Department," wrote Blumenthal and Klobuchar.
