Real friendly place........... A guy gets a new car and posts a picture and besides me, NO ONE says nice car, have a nice day, or anything. What the heck is wrong with you people?

Car looks great, any plans for it? I am sure you will enjoy it.
hutch, this club is one of the friendliest clubs online that I have seen. Just because no one posts on a thread doesn't mean any thing. Attacking others for not posting is more unfriendly than them not posting on a thread.

i've been around here for a long time and know exactly what kind of place this is and it sucks that nobody responds to new members like this.

But I would really like to get an actual 62 mpg. my 13 bug gets really close to 44 avg and think about getting an elio every day.

Even that would look pretty good for me at 1am. I even leave the house at 3:40. Even then everything is double and tripal. Good thing I only go 12 miles before I get to ride with someone else.

Welcome back! I drove a 98 Jetta TDI for 16 years and feel like my 2014 brought me into a new club. I hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to a tune in six months.
That said, I agree with "midntdi" in that this is a very friendly place. I think most here are less-inclined to post a two-word comment ("nice car") than they are to provide detailed, helpful and encouraging support when a member has a problem. My own new car thread has relatively little activity. I'm not offended because 1) I know not everyone visits this folder and 2) I haven't posted anything terribly interesting in there. Someday someone will have a question about something I did. That's usually when these threads wake up a bit. My Mk3 thread is proof of that.
Sorry about the derail, ramn4ver. I simply wanted to provide at least one explanation for why decent people may or may not reply to every "see my car" topic. I suspect most haven't even seen this one. But the higher number of replies may suggest there's something interesting in here and bring additional traffic.
Enjoy the Ride!

I hope you enjoy it. I'm looking forward to a tune in six months. I cannot speak for everyone. For me, the "Jetta/Bora/Vento TDI Picture Gallery" is a low-volume place. I don't come to this folder every visit and I'm often intrigued only by the modified cars, mostly because they pique my interest by providing a different visual or technical treat. I almost never wander into the Golf, Beetle or Passat photo folders. There are other folders I never enter such as Emissions, Alternative Fuels, etc. I have target areas I try to hit in my limited time online, mostly the Performance-related sections, MkIII and MkVI folders, and a quick peak at the Eastern regional folder. I don't post much these days because I prefer to leave a higher signal-to-noise ratio (this post being an exception). I don't even click on most topics. The subject "Back in a VW" got me curious today, but apparently not during my last few visits. I'm not sure why.

I agree with Scott. Even my thread hardly gets a glance anymore like it used to, and I'm not at all offended. Enjoy your TDI and this club. A bunch of great guys (and a few gals) and lots of good information.
