I brought the 348 home one year ago today. I had an amazing mixture of feelings with that day. Driving from the dealer to my house was probably the most nervous I’ve ever been. When it was finally in my garage, my mind still couldn’t process what happened. My only response was laughter. I would peek into the garage and just start laughing because I was so happy. I would text a friend, and just start laughing. Laughed the whole conversation I had with my brother. It was insane. I’ve never felt like that before.

Anyways, I don’t have time right now to give you a detailed report of the past year but all I can say is that it has been good. Really good. I still get a smile when I look at the car. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! car so expect a few more stories to come!

Yo Dawg, I heard you like pictures

Has it seen rain? Or are you afraid of the consequences being...

You know, when I’m not in flip flops. I am committed though. I have a pair of steel toe boat shoes for work. I might need an intervention.

hahahhaha! I still love that meme. I got caught in a bit of SoCal rain a few months ago. By that, I mean it drizzled for about 5 minutes. I don’t like being outside in the rain, so I’m never going out of my way to drive in it ;)

1 year huh? Well when I get back down there we will need to do a celebratory canyon run.

I went through a boat shoe phase. I outgrew it.

I can’t believe it has already been a year! And definitely down for a canyon run! I think I’m around at least 50% of the remaining weekends this year.

Well if not by the end of the year, then the begining of next. That is one thing I love about CA, no winter beaters needed.

Same! And if I want winter, I can go find it haha

Exactly, surf in the morning and snowboard in the afternoon. God I miss doing that!

I haven’t actually done that yet, but it is on my list!

Sweet! Have there been any noticeable improvements to your mustache in that time frame?

It is such fun! We used to hit Bolsa Chica in the morning for surfing after an apple fritter and chocolate milk, then nick’s breakfast burritos for the drive up to Big Bear or Mammoth (less often, and usually for the weekend) and hit the slopes.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > CaptDale - is secretly British 11/01/2017 at 19:14

That is pretty close to my plan. Surf at RAT or El Porto, breakfast burrito at Phanny’s, then head to Big Bear haha

Sadly, no. Still baby-faced haha

You’re missing out on Nick’s ;) Best breakfast burritos in LA/OC.

So you are in the South Bay? Cool. I’d join sometime for that too. Been ages since I surfed.

Yup, living that bubble lyfe! Where is Nick’s? My friend lives in Huntington. So, if i ever venture out of the bubble, it’s usually down there. I’ll have to compare it to the Almighty Phanny’s :D

It’s my super power ;)

But really, I just can’t grow facial hair very well. I have noticed the number of times I’m carded is decreasing at a rapid pace though. Damn sunshine!

How many times have you used the fire extinguisher on it?

Don’t lie.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > PatBateman 11/01/2017 at 19:37

I’ve been meaning to keep one in the car haha. I wasn’t really worried until I read the procedure to change the fuel filters. I learned they are mounted adjacent to the exhaust manifolds so any leaks, pretty much all result in fire. Maybe I should order one now :|

I have three pair currently. Plus two other pair of non boat Sperrys. I have a problem.

I love nice leather dress shoes but I rarely dress up to the point of needing them. No pants and no laces are the name of the game, for now.

Main St in Seal Beach.

Yeah my dad was a fireman/paramedic in Hermosa so I know the South Bay pretty well.

Oh cool! And seal beach is very doable haha

Awesome!! You are pretty close then. I’m in Redondo. We’ll have to put something together!

Yeah I will be living right over by CSULB. So not far away from anything.

Perfect! Let us know when you are back in town!

If I ever see one of you up by Newcombs, I’ll make sure to say hi.

PatBateman > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 11/01/2017 at 22:23

It would be a prudent decision to buy one immediately.

CaptDale - is secretly British > Elumerere 11/01/2017 at 22:45

I haven’t been there in years, but we will surely have to have an OPPO canyon day to say hey.

CaptDale - is secretly British > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 11/01/2017 at 22:46

Oh I most certainly will. Need to find a job first

I need to make a video or something. I’ve been meaning to make a GoPro supercut for about 3 years though. I’ll add it to the list haha!

Make sure it has some proper Kavinsky or other 8o’s eurobeat!

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > B_dol 11/02/2017 at 11:48

It will have something, for sure! haha

In the meantime, enjoy this 348 in DTLA video. Same car in the same location, but not me. haha

Hah pretty enjoyable! A friend and I have been meaning to get together and shoot a quality video - still need to storyboard it all...

One of my past GoPro efforts (had the car just a week);

Videographer and driver have improved over time :P

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > B_dol 11/02/2017 at 12:08

Awesome! My issue is I only have a GoPro and phone for filming. I also don’t have any post processing software. I used to make videos back in HS/College and love to edit, but if I can’t do it right, I usually don’t want to do it. I need a friend that can shoot quality video haha

B_dol > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 11/02/2017 at 12:18

Same here - that video was done with 2 GoPros and a friend’s borrowed gimbal for handheld shots. Editing either in FinalCut or GoPro Studio.

Looking to leverage a friends DSLR, drone and other gimbal setups for any future projects. At the moment its mainly for my enjoyment so there is a point of diminishing returns.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > B_dol 11/02/2017 at 13:04

A gimbal would help a lot. My friend had a drone and we were planning a few shots but he *ahem* lost it on 4th of July. Never lose line of sight, kids.

I’m down. Probably will have an actual car to go in too. Trying to look at this on Saturday. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/2015-vw-mark-vii-gti-4door/6361221342.html

Looks nice but I hate spelling/grammar errors in Ads!

I talked to the guy, he’s Korean, I don’t think english is his 1st language.

SPAMBot - Horse Doctor > GolfR Guy 11/02/2017 at 16:45

Oh, ok. Makes sense. It is easy to judge through a computer screen. My grammar is terrible for a native English speaker, but I do normally check to make sure I use the correct words on an ad. Carry on. haha

GolfR Guy > SPAMBot - Horse Doctor 11/02/2017 at 16:49

Yeah, I thought it was a scam at first based on the grammar. lol

Well good luck with the hunt! I see VW is running 0% on new ones. Maybe check what the CPO inventory is like, too. I’ve had great luck with my VW but I also take care of it. Warm up/down for the turbo, maintenance is always up to date, etc. I also don’t get super worried when something little pops up from time to time.

It rained last night! I was shocked!
