Oh yeah. Moving from NJ to California! Everything I own was able to fit into the car, with room to see out all the windows surprisingly.

Got some "new" street wheels.

HA! Did not know you were leaving Essex County behind for good, thought it was just an extended 'road trip'.

Yeah, new job and all that fun stuff, (and now the Laguna Seca is only an hour away!) Lived in NNJ my whole life so it’s nice to start something new.

The ST was better than expected on this trip. 10+ hours driving per day at a solid 85mph+ on cruise control. Averaged 32mpg, so not bad at all! Plenty comfortable too.

How is towing with a FiST? I’ve been debating weather or not to keep my 04 Matrix XR just to use it for towing some small lumber loads and the dirt bike.

A load this big I don’t recommend but it’s great for light stuff like you described. I tow my motorcycles all the time! Easy install!

A load that weight is all I would tow.

Definitely do it then. I tow 70-85mph with this setup. No issues besides decreased mpg. The car does it wonderfully.

Curt Hitch with whoosh hangars and a custom one I found used and welded a bunch of stuff to to make it into a motorcycle trailer. Weighs 150lbs.

Is that a new color for GTIs, I've never seen that close to Nitrous Blue on a VDUB before.

I think it's called Cornflower Blue? I started seeing it on the 2020 models I think. I like it a lot.

There was a limited edition "Rabbit" GTI that came in the color.

Yes Rabbit edition special colors. Kind of an odd package. Sport pack so LSD, big brakes, cloth, no sunroof, lighting with LED headlights and such, black mirrors and wang, black wheels special Cornsilk blue etc. 3 pedals and a 6 speed so that's nice.
