VW GTI love

Here's my new car! It's a VW GTI (basically a turbo-charged rabbit). Kinda funny, I never expected to be able to afford one of these (yes, it is used).
It's a 2007, and with all the perks it has, brand new price should be from $26 - $30K, but we got it for $17 and it only has 38K miles on it (the previous owners were car hoppers)
I am amazed at everything it has and VW is amazing. Only problem is that it's not a diesel, but I really can't afford that!
Course, now, my brother wants me to race it If I wanted to chance wrecking it, I might. But I want to be extra nice to this car. All my other cars (all 2 of them) that I've driven have been old junkers. Bert, my '73 VW Bug, has holes in the floor due to rust, and is in general falling apart (too many problems to list), and the '91 Geo I was most recently driving was having some rather bad problems itself (again too many to list).
And everyone I know is like, "Dude! About freakin' time!"
