After much procrastinating (I'm moving, starting a job, being lazy...get off my back you damn kids), I finally have some pictures to post of my new car. It's a 2011 VW GTI 4-door in Carbon Steel Grey Metallic. I ended up getting the car with the 6-speed DSG box, as I have a highway commute twice a day and I'd prefer not to spend my time rowing gears in traffic. It seemed like the best of both worlds. I also got the Sunroof trim level, which comes with iPod connectivity over USB, a touchscreen six-speaker sound system, a sunroof (relatively unimportant compared to the stereo), Sirius satellite radio (Radio One is far more interesting than US top-40) and heated fabric seats (yes, that is apparently possible). It's a great little car, I've had it about a month and I've already put more than 1500 miles on it from driving to and from Chicago. It manages about 33.3 mpg on the highway, too, even if I'm revving the nuts off of it, which is pretty good for cruising at 80. Without further ado, some pics. Please excuse the crap quality, half were taken on the way to the airport or at the airport, and the other half were taken in my dark-ass garage at work.
