Thanks. I hate it.

I've bought a few vehicles since hanging out on these forums and what I've learned is that these people are not the people you discuss a car purchase with. I made the mistake again earlier this year and felt discouraged immediately. I don't think I even reported back with what I got because I'm pretty sure people would just shit all over it.
I highly recommend you get a car you love and works for your needs and even if it puts you in a little debt, just enjoy the fuck out of the vehicle every day and remind yourself that it was worth it.

Sure but not for any of the reasons anyone pointed out here. It had none of the issues that everyone warned me it would have, so it's not like anyone was actually right about it.

So I got some room to work on my project again.
John's a good dude for giving me space in his garage.
Gonna have to play with this to get it to flow properly. Maybe. I can just let that shit go.

I got a new car. For the kids.
It's a '15 GTI. Originally, it came covered in purple triangles, which knocked about 3k off KBB, so I paid about $12k OTD for it (it's a fairly high-spec version). 4 door, 6 speed manual, 18" hotboi black painted wheels, and a Unitronic tune (something like 300HP, though I'm having it removed to get to a known-good OE configuration for them).
Dumped the triangles, keeping the hotboi wheels until the tires wear out, then it'll get shod in some 17x7.5s and less expensive, higher quality tires.
It's clearly been owned by a yobbo. The only thing I found in the car was an unopened condom, and a bunch of wire tiebacks, which gives me hope that said yobbo didn't hack up the wiring in the car too much, instead preferring to run wires around for his 12V accessories from the ciggy lighter.
I had finally gotten the nerve to go talk to the neighbor up the street about his Volvo wagon, but got nixed by the wife because a 2015 is SAFER, lol.

I saved one, doodled a penis on it, and restuck it to the inside of the gas door. Someday when the kids buy their own gas, it'll be a fun surprise.

I have 4 sets of stainless steel LS headers I can cut up and do that to. They will get their turn.
1) I'm not that good with TIG yet
2) I want this done more than I want it pretty
3) Because?
If you're not goot with the TIG process, starting with cast iron isn't going to help you. IMHO, get pretty good and then move to a difficult material. Good luck either way, and be sure to share pics.
