LOL you haven't seen my car yet, it's not ugly, it's fugly! hahaha

The guy who I bought the car off had taped black duct tape around the headlights and indicators and I have no idea why, I tried to rip them off but as you can see, after struggling with just the indicator, I left the rest LOL

This is the rear, sorry about the lighting. As I said in my previous post, the front lip and side skirts were removed except the rear lip and I'm not sure if you can see it properly in the photo. I also tried to rip off the petrol cap sticker, but it was stuck on so well that the pain started to come off with it so I just left it HAHA

2001 Volkswagen Golf GL 2.0L

Black exterior, factory tinted windows, black interior. Stock hub caps.

Everything is stock. I may eventually put in a nice CD Player, and now that I just figured out I have a blown speaker, I may put in new speakers. But other that, I don't feel the need to spend all my money on my car.

GM trucks look nice on the outside.. but the interior designer needs to be kicked in the balls, cuz its so damn ugly.

True. GM stuff tends to be very plain and utilitarian. Also almost any I've seen the interior has a very cheap feel to it. The pickups have a very cheap feeling assembly. I have seen the Impala which isn't too bad. The tahoes I've seen look a bit better than the regular silverado.

The dash panels and stuff on that tahoe look exactly like my grandfather's silverado and it's a 04 or 05.

I'm not much of a GM fan. Although they seem to have good engines.

Do you have pictures of the supercharger? Is it factory or installed yourself?

oh ya, i forgot to mention the cheap feel, thats cuz they use cheap material... i dont drive a GM car and never will becuase of that.. good cars or not.

i didn't know they had a supercharger.

I love GM trucks/SUVs, but I would never own a GM car. I dont think the interior has a cheap feel/look at all. I really like the interior design with the 2 tone color. I don't think their are any full size SUV's out there (besides Lexus or BMW) that have real elaborate interiors, and I cant see myself getting one of those anytime soon. Besides, it's an SUV, not a luxury sedan. ;) Same with trucks, its a damn $20,000 truck, not a $120,000 BMW 765i.

On a side note, even if I didn't like the interior, I would rather have a cheap feeling/looking interior than a car that doesn't last very long or has a lot of problems (like say a ford explorer) or a sh*t resale value. :D

I don't have any pics right now of the supercharger, but I can take some when i get off work tonight. It was not factory installed. It was installed by a local custom vehicle shop in California. It's got a damn lot of power and torque. Next steps are some wheels and an engine programmer.

Finally got photos done LOL

I hate the hood vents... I can see the point of it since I have a top mounted intercooler, but very ugly lol I took the lip and sideskirt off but left the rear lip on.

if you didnt buy it supercharged than it isnt supercharged. if you think vortec means the supercharger, then you are sadly mistaken. the chevy vortec technology is a valve opening design that swirls the air coming in through the intake manifold and helps create a slightly denser and more balanced air/fuel mixture and helps with low end torque. we own both a 2000 impala 3.8L v6 vortec and an astro AWD 4.3L v6 vortec (Both are top of the line... all options) my family has only owned GMs since I was a little kid... me buying an import was like the first non GM to hit my driveway.

i mean, if you wanna know for sure, or you dont believe me or whatever, then go under the hood and start at the air box and trace the intake pipe all the way to the intake manifold. if the pipe goes into a longish looking box with a belt coming off of it then that would be your supercharger and you would be obligated to post pictures of it here.

    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
