on Monday i went for a ride with son and we stop for gas and a women asked what year the car is my son answer and then we started our drive top off and almost every time we stopped at a light or in slow traffic someone say "love the car what year" so with that i knew what i needed to do so i just applied for for my new plates (81 GTSI) lol for the life of me i could not think of anything else and this will be very fitting lol
