well, I haven't really introduced myself very much, I just kind of showed up. But I figured I would take the time now to introduce myself, and what I drive and whatnot. Buckle up kids, this is gonna be a long one! My name is Drew, im 17 years old, and I drive a 2003 Volkswagen golf CL. The golf is my very first car. 
Heres how it looked the first day I brought it home:
I bought the car for $4600, with 146,000 kilometers on it. Automatic transmission because no one ever taught me stick. winter and summer tires included. At the time of purchasing, I really just wanted a car to drive. I was pretty much desperate for a car. After looking at numerous cars (mostly mazdas) I stumbled upon the golf. Sure it doesn't have automatic locks and windows, and the small 2.0l engine only produces 115 horsepower. But the way i look at it is, is that its my first car, and im going to have a hell of a time fixing it, modding it, and overall, enjoying it. Looking back, I probably should've held off and bought something with a little more pep and features, but as mentioned before, all i wanted to do was drive. im sure some of you felt the same way when you got your first car/license
Washed up:
After owning the car for a few weeks, i realized some of the problems with the golf. most of which has been fixed now. for starters, the car had been in an accident from previous owners. from looking at the car proof, I dont think it was too serious considering its still active status instead of rebuilt. the accident resulted in some new panels, which I dont think fit the car properly. second, the windshield washer sprayers in the front were broken. besides those minor issues, there wasnt much else wrong. just the typical scratches expected with an 11 year old used car. once I fixed the problems, the modding began!
Most of my mods that I plan on doing wont be under the hood. there isnt much point trying to soup up a 2.0. that being said, I began with some angel eye headlights. I think they're a really nice look
a badgeless grill (which im not really digging anymore due to how cheap it is) was my second purchase
And the last few mods (that some people may or may not agree with) are some stickers. I mostly have them because i think they're pretty funny, and kind of represent my personality. its pretty funny seeing peoples reactions to some of them.
150,000 kms
and the last thing ive done (as of 20/05/2014) stickerbomb mirrors. not too sure if its gonna stay or not
I plan on getting some bigger and better rims, as well as some coil overs. also have some other stuff planned thats a secret! I hope all of you will continue to follow my journey with my first car. Chances are, you have or will see me at meets. I LOVE THEM!!!! anyways, thats it for tonight.
