Your interior car pictures!

Get your mind out of the gutter!

I'm bored and sick at work so please entertain me with your interior car pictures.

Here's mine in all of its crappy potato camera glory.

My roommate and girlfriend went away for the weekend so I was home alone. As a result there are mcdonalds wrappers everywhere and I slept on the couch so I could watch football til late on the big tv. Lazy is what I do.

I did similar on Saturday night. Dog was in his cage all day due to my commitments elsewhere so I crashed on the couch. I stayed there most of the day Sunday too. Sometimes you just need a lazy day. Or two.

wow yeah that is the only place I could see it fetching that kind of cake. I am somewhat bound to not sell the Invicta as it is a present from my girlfriends dad, but good to see value of something somewhat similar. Kind of a cool flat black wagon that was, looks solid enough. I can't wait to be rolling around in a goddamn metallic pink wagon, though I want to put the 401 away and put a Cummins in it or something so I can actually drive it around and put gas in the tank in the summer

I can't wait until you can drive it as well! It's a striking car! The flat black of the Bonneville caught me when I first saw it. I wanted to save it. I wanted it so bad. But I'm apparently old enough now to where my wants won't hurt me.

I had a Fiesta for exactly 6112 miles. It grenaded. When I brought it into the shop at the dealership, they asked which wrecker service brought it in. I said I drove it. They said that was impossible because the transmission only had 1 gear left at the end of it. Not sure how I made it. Just glad I did. Never again.

MIGHT? When I lived in MA, my mother had a 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible. It was surprisingly a great car. She wouldn't put that top down for anything south of 70.

Thanks! I miss that car on really sunny days. I don't miss it when I get in my current car and it starts and idles perfectly every time. But there might be one or two pieces in that whole interior you'd find on an American Miata, so I wouldn't be too embarrassed. Because Monday Morning

They really are. When I first saw pictures of them in 'concept' form, I wasn't impressed. Actually, I was turned completely off. Then I saw one in person. Well proportioned and handsome from just about any angle. I drove one. I was hooked. They're not perfect and they are not Mazda3 fun to drive but I still love them.

I take it you've got a GTI? I'd like to trade up to one of those (or a GTD if it ever gets here) in a couple of years. The price difference new wasn't something I wasn't willing to do, yet.

There's a few Mk.7s on Oppo. As well as ours, Vincent Esteve has a 1.4TSI and Tom McParland has a GTI on order.

Yep - Carbon Steel GTI =)

That new 1.8 is a hell of an engine. And I'm in love with the 18" Durban wheels on the SEL. What color did you go with? I'm quite fond of Silk Blue and disappointed we didn't get that or some other shade of blue on the GTI. (Night Blue is too dark for my taste).

Hooker > Wrong Wheel Drive (41%) 12/08/2014 at 14:40

I think that's because there is no buffeting. No resistance. The air has a place to escape to in a convertible where in a regular car, it gets trapped.

There is a lot to be said for understated elegance. But there is a difference between that and just cheap design. You have to know which one it is. Yours is obviously the former.

It's amazingly good for being something that came from pre-bankrputcy "Sub-par a lot of things!" GM. And the 3.6 moves it so well.

DasWauto > GTI MkVII 12/08/2014 at 15:41

I've got Tungsten Silver Metallic. It's a slightly dark silver when overcast and it looks like the above in direct sunlight. I need a colour that hides dirt as I live on a gravel road and this fits the bill.

The 1.8t is probably the main reason I chose this car. It's got great torque and pulls strongly in the midrange. I'm also averaging 35-40MPG so that's a nice bonus as well. Best powertrain in the class IMO.

I've only got the 15" wheels (the base level Trendline + cruise control with the multifunction wheel is all I need), which look a bit dinky but they'll receive winter tires soon and serve that purpose for the rest of the car's time with me. I'm looking to pick up some 17" BBS SRs for my summer wheels.

GTI MkVII > DasWauto 12/08/2014 at 15:47

Very nice - saw that color at the dealer a while back and was very impressed. Nice mileage as well! I've been averaging 25-30 (depending on how "enthusiastically" I drive).

Indeed. I agree. And they're rather bulletproof. I love how they raved about it at the time, but now, it's sub par. I can't win with the publications.

DasWauto > GTI MkVII 12/08/2014 at 18:00

My mileage depends on my enthusiasm as well, I live rurally though and drive mostly highway as a result so the excellent mileage is expected and appreciated.

Great photo. Your colour has a hint of blue in it in that light as well, very nice. I love the wheels the GTI comes with, they fit the sharpened styling of the Mk7 very well. Maybe I should get a set of those for my summer wheels, it seems a fair number of GTI owners switch them for something different as there's quite a few sets on the classifieds already.

Yeah, CSG really comes alive with a good coat of wax and changing light conditions. It can range from almost black, to cement gray, to slate green, to grayish blue like you see there. Really stunning paint.

Funny you mention the wheels haha - I'm actually not a huge fan of them either. They've grown on me since getting the car but I still have my eye on some other wheels (trying to keep it OEM and 18" though). Want to buy mine? =D

Afraid not - I'm all the way down in Florida. Would be happy to arrange a deal when you're ready though. Hoping to get some new wheels rather soon but will be hanging onto the stock ones for a bit.
