Charles Bias, 2015 Golf TSI (Lookin for a Trans Am)
#1
Hey my name's Charles, live in Sterling Virginia. I'm a freshman majoring in CIS currently.

I've been obsessed with cars ever since my friend introduced me to the car culture. I didn't realize this club was here till recently so I didn't bother bringing my car, but I'm so excited to finally have a place with people like me who love cars and I can continue to share my passion and meet a whole new group of people just like me. Like I said I currently have a 2015 Golf TSI completely stock, but I'm looking into buying a 2000-2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6 hopefully by next year.

Welcome! I just graduated with a CIS Degree and moved to Sterling.... Let me know if you ever have questions about class/professors/job! WS6s are super cool and I've always like them. I hope you find a good one! Get the Golf out to an autocross!

Welcome! The Mk7s are great cars and we have a few people (all alumni, I think?) with them.

Back in my day (ugh I sound old) we had two members with WS6's at the same time. That was a sight. Fun cars if you can ignore the plastic-fantastic interior and deal with random old-GM gremlins. I owned an automatic LS1 TransAm for a few weeks and even that was fun in a redneck-on-the-Beltway sort of way. It had Flowmasters and would bark the tires on the 1-2 shift but was otherwise a shitpile. Buy a nicer one than that.

Hope to see you at some events soon! We have two more NASA track weekends and I'm sure a handful of autocrosses all throughout the fall.

Since you've already autocrossed, it seems like it's time for you to get some actual track time with NASA!

pretty VW - that's a great chassis. you've got some broad tastes going from that to an F-body, but those are probably a blast to hoon if you can find a good one. we've had a couple MM'ers with them so i'm sure they can help with some issues if you have any.

BTW let us old people know when you're back home, there's a handful of us not too far from Sterling, I've been meaning to check out the new Saturday C&Cs that are allegedly happening at the Crooked Run Brewery.

Yeah I used to not be a fan of them so much, but they've grown on me, and I used to be a fan of mostly American muscle but have more recently become a fan of Euro cars as well, and if I can find a nice one that would be helpful.

I don't think we could ever have too many GTI's here. Welcome! Didn't someone here recently have a WS6? Stephen maybe?

Chris Levey briefly had that built black 'maro of the same generation too.

Yeah I've had a 96 V6 Firebird, a 95 Firebird Formula, and a 2002 Trans Am WS6 for a total of 9ish years of 4th gen ownership. I'm pretty familiar with them by now so let me know if you have questions.
