Entry: two things you don’t see anymore - handwritten invoices and vehicle maintenance at a reasonable cost. From the glovebox maintenance records of my 1983 GTI.

Also the imprint from your credit card is something you don't see either.

 

They didn't call them "credit cards". They were "charge plates".

 

Entry - A paper road map.

I almost used that idea

 

I have a circular verion of that.

 

Quite a few things that are disappearing in this shot

I had an ‘83 GTI. Black on red with the manual sunroof as the only option. No AC, roll-up windows, and a Blaupunkt cassette player. My first “nice” car that I bought used in ‘87. What a great little car! I pounded on it mercilessly for 100,000 miles.

 

Drums, Leafs and Steelies! (Entry)

 

Entry: multi-tool

 

This one isn’t so nice anymore but it’s slowly moving back that direction. Got a new floor put, getting a vr6 engine prepped to go in and being setup as fun/autocross car.

Non entries.

 

Entry, I might even have the bootleg cassette

 

My first car back in 1980 ish was a VW Beetle, my first new car was a black VW Diesel Rabbit, I wanted the Scirocco but my parents thought the 90 horsepower Rabbit was a better fit for a guy heading to College, wrong!!!! Did get about 45-50 mpg

 

Entry, old stuff

 

What did they weigh? 1,800 pounds? A VR6 should really wake it up without overpowering it. That little GTI taught me how much fun it is to drive a slow(ish) car as fast as possible instead of being constantly afraid of the throttle. My M6 ‘18 Civic Sport came close, but the GTI still wins from a strictly fun perspective.

 

Key Largo.....

 

Entry, here’s something we are seeing less. The Good ol’ classics!

 

Picking this weeks winner is gonna be harder than a wedding prick!

So many good entries!
