      Search “Zelda & chill” on Spotify. The label that publishes this has Really good chill remix’s of various video game tracks. All UA-cam copyright friendly too!

    Tornado red! Love it. My same color '13 jetta tdi wagon (also manual!) is still going strong and is a blast to drive every day.

    Regarding your point at 11:07, i live in The Netherlands, a country which is obviously known to have a very flat terrain, and not much nature either. I see people here driving around RAMs and i often wonder why they have a truck like that, especially because i live in the city. I can understand if you have one for work or something, but most of the time it seems like people just trying to compensate for something

    • @chrishammillaudio

      The video I linked from not just bikes - he lives in the Netherlands. You should check it out. He breaks down in great detail why these vehicles are not necessary for most of the population.
      You’re 100% right. A lot of people buy these huge things as a status symbol.

      @chrishammillaudio  2 місяці тому

      Hatchbacks will not only give you any cargo space you want, but it will save money at the pumps and put a smile on your face every time you drive. Don’t be a sucker and buy an SUV.

    I had a red GTI MK6 DSG that I traded in for a Tesla, and while I am not disappointed with the new car, I do miss the MK6.
    GTI's just have a special magic/It factor. Also, the plaid seats were the best seats in any vehicle I have ever had.

    Change motor oil regularly and be watchful with coolant and water pump leaks. I owned a Mk7 Autobahn edition and I missed it.

    • @chrishammillaudio
      @chrishammillaudio  2 місяці тому

      I’ve already factored in the price to replace both the turbo and the water pump around 60-70k miles if they break. From what I read the mark 7s and 7.5s have those as the biggest issues, although the 7.5s are less likely.

      It’s a fantastic car to drive. If you want to give it the beans it’s loads of fun with plenty of power.
      It can also be a fantastic cruiser that sips fuel. I absolutely love it.

      Brilliant in some ways, confusing and unreliable in others. Insanely good car to drive and beautifully designed, unacceptable quirks with the seat rattle and blue tooth mic being attached to an entirely different module lol
