Your car looks good, I've never seen you around though

Just completed most of the Mods in begining of August, and headed back to college on the 14th. I worked all summer at C&S in Chester so my days started at 5:30am and ended at 5pm, so was not around much.

moving to Toga in Oct. I dont have an e46 yet but Im pretty set on them. This site has been an amazing resource for information for me. Looking at either a 323ci, 328ci, 330ci. I have a rather long commute and I cant really find any other car I would want that is as all around as an e46 coupe. Got my eye on a couple coupes in the area. but I just wanted to get my name out there. I have been in the VW scene since I was 15 and now that I have a "real" job and own a suit or two, I thought it was time to move up in the world!

Welcome! I see that was your first post, they build up pretty quickly after that. DO IT ......and preferrably the 330

Yup first post! I thought this would be an appropriate place. I would love a 330 but I also thought about insurance rates and it got quoted a bit higher. All the pennys count at this point in my life! No matter what she is going to be faster than the Jetta TDI I am driving right now hahaha.

Get yourself an AWD car for the winter if its going to be your only car. I drive from Clifton park to toga everyday all four seasons in my car. Dont think id want a RWD in the winter.

Well I really want a coupe so thats a no go for AWD. I drove a 524TD for a Winter with studded snows and thought it handled just as well as my vws with snows. so I will just pick up a set of good snows. I am from north of the Adks so I have had alot of seat time in the snow! I read on another thread you have a sunday pass to a mtn in VT? what mtn? need anyone to help pay for fuel???? I just moved here last year and work at the hospital and have had a hard time finding ppl to shred the white stuff with. Also was very curious about the sunday pass

What kind of mileage do you usually get with the xi?

yeah,,,this! ^^

The sunday pass i have is for Stratton Mountain. Unfortunately we've got a full car for the season. But we can always meet up! I work in Toga and hit up West on tuesday nights as well. The gas mileage i get is between 24-28 depending on how much highway it sees. I made it to Elmira, NY and back to Clifton park NY on one tank, 426 miles doing 75 the whole way.

ahhh bummer. Last year I did Jiminy on Tuesdays bc of the NY state discount. But now that I live in Toga I was thinking of doing west once a week. I have never been before. Well CoupeMagic What do you think about the sunday pass???? its tempting. carpool!? It is kind of a haul to get out there.

yeah i was thinking bout pickin up the sunday pass myself for stratton........you guys ski or board? i ski..
and im down to meet up/ carpool if the settings right

I just board now. Cant afford to do both anymore. Plus snowboard equipment is soooo cheap compared to skiing stuff. I dont descriminate though, I ride with anyone.

any good bmw shops or self car wash places in middletown or near by?

Anyone going to be at Watkins Glen this weekend?
