Hi guys! Hannah Kennedy here - Cam’s wife! I don’t usually weigh in on a lot of TPLM because we’re both so busy working full-time, money-paying jobs to financially secure us. First of all, Cam is an INCREDIBLE husband and provider for our family. For you to say we “can’t afford” things is assuming a lot about us and our income. We make more then $50 a month, but thank you for your concern. Secondly, Cam impresses ME with his hard work, passion, & love for cars and this community. So if he has one big fan and cheerleader who is impressed with him keeping a job, loving his wife, and doing this RU-vid, it’s me. I can’t wait to share it and watch it back with our future kids. And finally, congrats on being financially secure, OpenCarry. I hope you’re able to not just be that, but I hope you teach your family the importance of being nice to people. I’ve heard before if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all. Maybe go buy yourself some etiquette lessons with all your money.

thanks for the recommendation. Bought a mk6 a few months ago and so far I've done the mods that affect daily drivability. Lowered, short shifter, and a adjustable clutch stop. I think this mod will go nicely with what im trying to do with the car. Next will be a unitronic intake and diverter valve relocation, throttle pipe and downpipe+resonator.

How's the short shifter? Looking at getting one very soon.

@@TheParkingLotMechanic I got the DAP holy shift kit. It's nice and notchy. They're local to me so I went directly to the source. I had a rear main seal leak and I needed a clutch(previous owner). They threw the kit in for me no additional labor since that was already part of the job. Good people.

Fully agree with you on the simple/cheapest approach to mods, and it is very difficult to beat drivetrain related improvements on a FWD car. Due to the shifter & mounting methods on a transversal engine there is a a lot that is left on the table as manufacturers have to make sure to neutralize as much as they can the NVH for the normal drivers., so you cant go wrong with any improvement be it on engine mounts or shifter bushings to significantly improve the feeling you get to them albeit sacrificing marginal comfort levels. Keep it up !

Thanks! The few drivetrain mods I've done so far have been fantastic and I am looking forward to more in the future including some clutch upgrades (with a full replacement before going stage 2), some chassis reinforcement, and more. The GTI truly responds so well to mods and it makes me love the car even more!

Why are you spending money you cant afford to spend on a depreciating asset? It's just a car that isn't impressing anyone. Its a necessary expenditure and your end goal should be to spend the least amount as possible for transportation. Focus on your family by creating a secure future for them through appreciating assets.

and why are you hating on what someone else does with their money and time that we all are very limited on in this lifetime. Maybe those are things that interest you and how you would like to live, and for others like us, we enjoy spending time working on a car and having something to show for it. try to ease into it and do a few cheap and easy mods on your car and who knows, maybe you'll see what we see after that

@@mattzebra1 It wasn't hating as you say. I dislike seeing young folks make such financial mistakes and put their personal wants above the needs of securing their families future first. I am very well off financially by hard work and sacrificing my wants until I achieved financial security. Now I own and drive a VW Golf MK7 sleeper, its so plain and boring looking no one even looks twice. That's due to money not being an issue anymore for me, but until you have financial security, wasting any more money on a depreciating asset than is needed is foolishness.

@@opencarry3860 Not sure where this whole depreciating asset thing comes from, maybe for you because you got the car brand new from a dealership, depreciation isn't an issue when you buy already depreciated cars

@opencarry3860 2 года назад
@@mattzebra1 it's a rarity for vehicles to appreciate in value unless your a savvy collector. Every dollar you put into a vehicle doesn't give you positive dividends as investments can and will. Try something my Father had me do with my first car purchase. Write a running log of everything you spend on your vehicle. Purchase price, license, tax, insurance, gas, oil, tires, and so on. What you will find is how much that a vehicle will actually cost you over the years and it will shock you. Vehicles are plain old money pits.
