    I would be delighted if anything in my yard looked like your version of "a mess"... :bowdown:

    ...and my neighbors would be stunned. :rofl:

    On the positive you can always find your car in the parking lot. :D

    It does look kind of cool, although I would feel a bit conspicuous driving around, kind of like an old guy driving his kids car. :anonymous:


    Doing nothing sounds the easiest. :)

    Do the used via one of the dismantlers. You can spec the condition and color code and just wait for one to show itself. Factory paint as you want. Some ricer is out there right now plowing into a telephone pole in just your color…

    It does have one of your favorite things...

    It needs a bunch of cleanup to my liking though. I got to put the car on all 4's, remove the wheels, and scrub everything underneath clean. Then the paint needs a good bit of help. Ironically I have to remove the wang temporarily to polish out the trunk. Easier than working around it. Bunch of chips they filled in they just blobbed it on so I got to carefully sand them all down. About 3 days of work and I'm taking off at the end of the month to do it.

    Back in 2018 when I had my 2017 GTI my mother was rear ended in her 2015 Camry. At the time I also had an old beater S10 and since it was an uninsured motorist that hit her we were on the hook for some of the rental car. So, I just told her to drive the GTI since it was easier to drive. One evening leaving work all her co-workers were around and she decided to show off by revving up and dumping the clutch thus spinning the tires. I'm just glad she didn't know how to take off traction control :facepalm:

    You'd be surprised at how limited that selection is. I hunted a long time for an undamaged trunk.

    Most times, when the front gets damaged, the rear does as well

    I looked around and it seems to go for about $300-$350 for undamaged. They have with without spoiler and some without are actually lip spoiler.

    I saw a white WRX in the Aldi parking lot. Forget matching, go with a white trunk, like a certain unicorn Tacoma with a mismatched topper.

    It’s a mini toy hauler so the inside is what you want it to be. We added a cassette toilet in a privacy shelter. And when it’s the wife and I we extend the bed to make it a king size, when it just me I just use the full size tip out which leaves room for a table and chairs, etc. IMG_8048.jpg IMG_1029.jpg IMG_0778.jpg IMG_0940.jpg
