First New car since 83!

[dennisthe12c]

Hi all and glad to be here to check out the new products to keep a new car looking good. I`m here in Southern California, a native in fact, Pasadena to be exact. My last New car has been my dd all the way up to now and it was an 83 GTI that I ordered and fell in love with. So it being a hard act to follow seems logical that I now have a 2016 GTI! Wow talk about time marching on I guess I have been caught in a time warp as it feels like I`m going from a model A to a Cobra. Here`s a shot of them together and once again I must say I`m glad to be here among all of you informed guys for a tip now and then!

How many miles on the old GTI? I had an 1986 VW Golf that had over 200,000 miles on it when I sold it for $500. It was a very good car. I`ve been a VW fan ever since, at least the ones built in Germany! Welcome to Autopia.

Had about 350K when I retired 16 years ago and have gone through a few clusters since then. This GTI was 1st gen built in USA. Thanks

With the troubles at VW, you should be able to get a good price on them.

dennisthe12c- Welcome to Autopia!

You really got my attention with the title of this thread; I think it`s *SO* cool that you still have your `83! The new one *is* a great car, and that`s a good color for it IMO. But I gotta admit I`m just crazy about your older one.
