    Not too shabby. Just hoarding away. CO life treating you fairly?

    FWIW, I still use your old jack and stands every day...going strong, three years later!

      Denver is good! Does the jack from Horrible Freight still work?

        IIRC, 17's are the smallest wheel you can fit over your calipers.
        16 is smallest. I have some wheels off an old A8 that I run my winter tires on

          Glad to hear. Yup, works pretty decently, all things considered.

            On that year?! that's awesome!
            IIRC I had a coworker with an 08 GTI and I also got her onto 16s.
            She and her hubby were tired of replacing the tires constantly on the stock 18's.
            If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

                  Funny story...wife had a Forester when I met her. I used to kid her that all she needed was a girlfriend and two labs.

                      Clutches seem to be pretty common on these.

                            Just make sure to get some good tires.

                            We had a 2017 Wolfsburg GTI that would torque steer itself into the ditch on demand because the stock pirellis were garbage.

                              Try a new Camry V6 if you want torque steer
