Ryan Showalter Intro - 2016 GTI
#1
Hello, I'm Ryan Showalter, a sophomore computer science major. I recently bought a 2016 GTI SE w/ PP, LP, DAP. Here's some low light, low quality garage pictures.

I have a real plate mount coming tomorrow, don't worry! I don't plan to do much to the car yet, as it still has a bit of warranty left on it.

Thanks! I'd love to test out a Golf R like yours in the future, but that was about $10k more than this car for all the examples I could find.

It's a 6 speed. Honestly, all of the packages it has just makes it more expensive. I was told it would cost $170 just for the headlight bulb that needs to be replaced since I have the LP. My wallet hurts.

Ouch. Have you checked DAP, FCP, or USP for that? They usually have pretty good prices.

The OEM bulb is $145 on DAP, but I was planning on getting the work done as well as an oil change at the dealership anyway. I don't want to void my warranty in case something goes wrong in these early miles under my ownership.

These cars without the lighting package is a travesty. Mine was an 18 SE (mk7.5 SE came with PP and LP by default) 6 Speed. Great car.

Are you in the student chat?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

It certainly works but it's crooked, but that's my fault. I was a little eager to get back to driving it!

You should sell this to Justin after you're done with it. I hear he takes care of white hatches really well.
