Volkswagen GTI

Terry's Volkswagen GTI

On my walk today, I came across a gray Volkswagen GTI with Ninja Wheels.  I thought GTIs only came in red, white, or black.  I guess I was wrong.  It is a pretty car.  I’ve seen a black GTI at Safeway a couple of times.

The ninja wheels are an option and not all GTis have them.  I call them “Ninja” wheels because a guy at a dealership called them that.  He said they looked like deadly stars that ninjas throw at a target.   He’s right.

My GTI is black.  Like the one at Safeway, but different.

If you “rechip” the car, change the exhaust, take out the catalytic converter, get stiffer shocks, lower it a bit, add racing brakes because regular brakes just aren’t enough for all those changes – you have a pretty fast tuner.

And nobody knows.

Well, it does rumble a bit.

It’s like a “stealth” sports car – faster than pretty much anything else.  Of course, it would be an illegal car, and I didn’t do that to mine.  Nope.  This car is entirely legal.  Where would I drive a souped-up car?  My car has no modifications – maybe a different tail pipe.  It is just like it was the day Oregon tested it.
