:lol: if it makes you feel any better, the stock tires on my mk7 spins in 3rd gear in rain, something like a gay04 mk6 would. I feel like i should upgrade to 235's, as knowing I have 15 mm spacers all around, it rubs a little on the front.

Also don't forget, no spare tire and shit-flats.

That BS E-LSD thing really only helps under cornering.

Because most people that buy those things want to show off the key. They DGAF about tahrs.

At one of my early jerbs in CA, I worked with this tool manager guy who loved BMWs. Every stereotype covered. He'd come to every meeting a few minutes late...and always say "sorry I'm late" while sitting down, and simultaneously putting his keys on the table, making sure everyone could see the BMW fob, roundel up every time.

I think I'm kinda done with front wheel drive as a whole, unless it's separated as a daily/winter beater.

I also put my keys on the table, since I keep it in my pocket. But the difference is, I "show" off the buttons and not the logo. I did have one asian girl thought my mk6 keys (aka typical vw fob) that it was a BMW :lol:

No such thing.

The "real one" is an electronically controlled locker. It's one wheel peel unless the computer tells it otherwise, which is under cornering mostly.

:wtf:

Btw I'm going to get some shit around work now that I have the poser mobile, ppl got used to me driving the egg and making fun of me in this whole "how do you fit in it" business.

Now it's going to switch to "you must have gotten a resize eh?!"

The Performance Pack car did for 2015/2016.

And for 2017 everything but the 'base' GTI does. Sport, SE, and Autobahn now come with the extra power and LSD.
When I tried to sell my MK6, I met a dude who was really into GTI's. He actually worked for the supplier that made the diff. It's not a conventional mech LSD. It runs as an open diff the vast majority of the time, but then can lock when the computer tells it to. According to that dude, it was mostly under cornering.

Unless you work for a car company. Then drive what they make, or kiss the promotion goodbye, or at least some of the paint.

Slow down lynch mob ... I am just saying if you have a car that is "too nice" it can have negative connotations also.
