Hello from Western PA!!

Hello,

I am a new owner of a 2006 MCS with 46K! I just bought it about a week ago from a Ohio dealer. Great deal beacuse it needs some work!

I am 35, live in Ford City, PA 16226 (by the way of Baltimore, MD) which is about 45 minutes east of Pittsburgh. I am married with an awesome 2 year old daughter. We live in the country on dirt and gravel roads and we love it

I am a VW guy at heart coming from a 87 GTI 16V, 96 Jetta VR6, 99 Passat wagom, 01 Golf 2L, 8V with stage 2 turbo setup.

I drive about 100 miles a day for work and wanted a good MPG car, 6 speed and did my research.....and nothing came close to the MPG and price. I LOVE THE CAR!

I am looking for some people in the Pittsburgh area to meet up with for some garage time. I have a few issues to say the least.

1) I need to fix the passanger side rear camber.
2) The car has a few body issues.....paint chips etc.
3) Need to fix the bumper driver/turn signal light.
4) the fun stuff.....plugs, wires, coil pack, 15% pulley with new belt etc.

Just basic upgrade main. things.

I would also like to swap rims from my aftermarket 17" black rims to 16" or 15" rims if anybody is interested.

Well, thanks for reading my long "hello" post!
