I want Fifteen52 to bring back the god damned snowflakes. They are pushing hard in the MK8 forum but keep ignoring my request for them, lol.

That's a nice looking car, and I usually hate that body style. Those rims complement it well, but like all after market rims, I could never pay the price for new ones, when I have perfectly working ones on the car already.
If I am going to spend money on my car, there are just too many things I would rather spend money on, instead of rims.

These aren't terrible even if they look distinctly aftermarket. Depends on what look you are going for I guess. I don't actually like most of the mk8 stock wheels, they all lean heavily into the turbine style which usually makes one side of the car look better than the other. Seems no manufacturer can be bothered to make asymmetric sets anymore. I'd probably get the factory Estoril wheels if I had to pick one.

It's San Remo Green which is now a standard color offering for 2023. I'd say it's pretty close to Oxford Green but has even more of a yellow Hue to it and British Racing Green has a much more blue hue. A real picture:
I suspect it will still be uncommon for a while.

The guys behind our shop (Automotive mechanics) are some old guys always talking shit, so it's funny to go back there and fuck with them because they're all (American muscle only! Imports are gay!) kind of guys.
Anyways, they have a shitty as Ford Focus C-Max they're always back their working on and I always give them shit about how fast that thing must be. Well they don't understand technology too well so I edited a webpage and sent this to them. They're half believing the Euro one is a beast, you can sense the mild skepticism from them but I'm pretty sure they're 90% believing it's true. Sorry for the shitty phone pic, these dudes can only operate a phone so I had to text it.

That looks really fun. Would love to try over-landing but it seems like something you have to invest heavily in and I'd only be able to do it once a year.

I don't find that it sounds a lot different than any of the 15000+rpm Judd V10's and such. Very high pitched wail. I also love it, but come on, can you imagine having a 4-rotor? 2-rotors popped apex seals like candy, can you imagine this hunk of shit? It'd probably blow blue smoke at idle after 200 miles.
Best way to get this sound and not break the bank is a sportbike. Get some loud pipes and they all sound like that.

Heavy duty rack was 1k, tent was 1.7k. Works for me because I go camping out in the desert/mountains a lot and that particular tent provides a king sized foam mattress as compared to a lot of smaller roof top tent options. Held up well and stayed dry during a monsoon too.

If you ever wanna upgrade look into Four Wheel Camper. We did the flatbed hawk on a Ram 2500 and it's glorious. We went biggish cause we've got a kid. Have had many grand and ass puckering adventures. Death valley in fall/spring is currently our favorite and we do it a couple times each season. If I was single or just me and my wife we'd have a slide in hawk on a Tundra for sure.
