Last night I bought a 2012 2.5L VW Golf 5 door. Black, highest end trim (leather seats, sunroof, 17" wheels, climatronic climate control, heated seats, chrome trim, power everything, bunch of other shit), manual transmission. Will be here within the next couple weeks. Goddamn I am so fucking pumped!

Nice, Golfs are really good cars. Reliable and excellent value for money.

I really wanted to chop a pic of Kathy Griffin into a Golf but then I forgot I don't have PS on the laptop yet.
