Hello everyone! My name is Cory Curtis and I just wanted to introduce myself to the club before I try to get to a meeting. I am on my third dUB now. My first was a 2000 Beetle that my ex had (I probably put over 30,000 miles on it) which really sold me on VW quality and durability. My first that I actually owned was an 03 Golf GL. Nothing special but became my "groupie" car as I had used it to followed a couple bands on tour. Racking over 60,000 miles in a two year period.
Now my current car. A 2006 Passat 2.0T. I have had it for over two years now. It has become my love. My current mods are as follows: 5% tint on the back windows, APR Stage 2 programming, APR Turbo back exhaust, Forge Intake, Clear corner lights, and a chrome badge-less grille. Future mods in the next year or so: Install VW sport springs with Bilstein Sport Shocks, carbon fiber under the hood (engine cover, battery cover, etc), S5 style headlamps, and nicer OEM wheels.
I guess I am done with performance mods because of the limited torque rating of the automatic transmission and my 6 month old daughter. I am just going to focus on looks and maintenance now. I will try to get to a meeting in order to join and meet some of you but it is hard with a baby and being over an hour away. (I am in the Cape May area)
Here are some photos of my baby. The last one was during the $6000 of body work that had to be done because a tree fell on the driver rear quarter panel. Once I clean her up again, I will post up some more glamor shots!
And if I posted this in the wrong place or anything else, please let me know.
