I see you've owned some of my favorite cars too. Miami is a different animal at times, some of the "enthusiasts" here are elite assholes. When I had my 1.8T I was in a VW club, many of the members were pretentious bastards that would mock you for not knowing anything. I DON'T know anything and I'm not ashamed to admit it, but I want to learn and I would like someone to just be like "hey man, let me help you..." lol
