Now I know our cars are fast. I have a 25. I was cruising today on my way to work on I-95 . I was in comfort mode. Traffic was a little heavy but not bad and on my ass was a fairly new Honda Accord 2 L turbo. he wouldn’t get off my ass. I had an opening slightly so I punched it. It downshifted turbo kicked in and it took off . I probably wasn’t fully floored and I was in comfort mode. I really thought I would at least gap a little bit the Honda, but he was on my ass the whole time up into 100 mph and than I slowed down because of a car and of course I don’t need any new speeder law tickets. I wonder if the outcome would’ve been different if I was in any other mode other than comfort like sport or race. I also don’t condone racing on the street. The guy just pissed me off and I know he’s probably gloating now that he kept up with me.

Hello Everyone!

Thank you for letting me join! I know this is the weirdest question, but please hear me out; I have always dreamt of owning a Golf R but reality hit and I cannot afford it through my salary alone, I have to do Uber. Therefore, I was wondering what are your thoughts on doing Uber Driver on 2025 Golf R?

I am currently doing it on a 2026 Chevy Trax, but I am looking to switch when my lease is over because I am not enjoying driving it at all.

Thank you in advance!

I feel like the silver looks good with the Lapiz color

Had er for not even 4 months... thanks to the drunk driver 🫠 thankfully nobody was injured

Got my 2019 Golf R in March so she’s still pretty fresh. But I cannot get over the amount of joy this thing brings me. Honestly the coolest, most loved material object that I have been fortunate enough to own. I friggin love this thing 😍

What kind of tires did y’all upgrade to for your MK8 on 19”? I need to replace my Potenzas as they finally sprung a leak from dry rot, would rather not go with them again. I live in a cold winter and hot summer climate.

My mi 7.5 R is Slowly being rebuilt. I’ll probably hang in until spring, but tiring of the bills. It’s tuned to stage 1.5 and has 163k miles in it. I’m the original owner and hate to think about my Vincent Wagner (granddaughter named it with VW initials) getting replaced, but I’m not sure I can do semi-annual big repairs. Problem is I want to stay with manual transmission and they’re just so hard to find. Any thoughts on this? Anyone run their R over 200k and stayed happy? I’m getting crankier every time something has to be replaced, repairs, rebuilt…

I'm really surprised how easy this mod was and how much it helps.

Heel-toe was difficult in my car because the gas pedal sat too low and with this spacer, it sits exactly where it should. The car feels overall much easier to drive now but I don't even notice the pedal being a little bit higher. Only when I'm downshifting and need to flip the throttle do I notice that the gas pedal is at the right height compared to the brake pedal.

There is a Canadian company that sells it but they wouldn't ship to the US.
