Neighbor left a note on my project

Came out to start it this morning and saw something under my wiper blades, figured it was a complaint but it was this awesomeness instead!

Is this good or bad?

Hey all! This is the whip; a 2003 TDI Jetta on F-150 suspension
Frequent_Builder2904@reddit
I like it
saltysaturdays@reddit
This is awesome
lawtechie@reddit
I had an '02 TDI that was the only new car I've ever bought. It was a reliable if boring companion to a '70 S class and a '69 Rover 2000.
Nice project.
Loose_Mail_786@reddit
That’s sick man!
afrienduknow@reddit
Yo you have the German version of my car sorta lol. Mine is on Forester suspension and F150 wheels. I really wish Subaru made a diesel in the US
MieXuL@reddit
How does this thing do off road?
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Honestly, really fucking good
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
That is KILLER, I love the look of the older Subarus! I can’t take credit for the suspension that was all my homies work; iirc a certain year of f-150 just ended up having the same bolt pattern? I’ll ask him to be sure
SkRThatOneDude@reddit
That is pretty sick, gonna need more details on that suspension job if you're able to find out.
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Rear springs are from a 91’ F-150, and rear shocks are from an early 2000’s Jeep XJ. Although we did shit ourselves compressing the springs down enough to get them in haha
Recent-Campaign911@reddit
YESSSS. Lifted cars hold a special place in my heart. Don't ask, group b did it to me.
turtlewarfares@reddit
Shits fucking crazy I want to do this now
gankindustries@reddit
Average winter Wisconsin beater lol, absolutely sick
Rare-Cardiologist267@reddit
Man to man make sure the wheel well is sealed. This is a first for me seeing a sedan with off road setup waow old jetta aesthetics go well with that widebody lift... cool
malac0da13@reddit
You don’t live in PA do ya?
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
I do not haha
TheREALNightRider@reddit
Post engine bay and dash. I wanna see what guts look like. Seems fun.
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
I’ll post some later!
adudeguyman@reddit
That was certainly unexpected

Few_Intention9591@reddit
You know, this is not what I expected, and this looks sick for real 😲
AmbitiousArrival9440@reddit
Fucking hella cool. Keep the dent it looks badass
SleepLabs@reddit
Hell yeah looks sick. I have a battlecar project, too.
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Hell yeah!! I’d love to see it
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Just checked your profile that car is cool as hell
shupack@reddit
Hell yeah, baja jetta!
Yaboidontfukwithme@reddit
That car is fuckin sick!!!
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Thank you!!
Some_Rando-o@reddit
Get it some medicine then let it rest :(
BloodsportOnVHS@reddit
I was going to make a joke that your project must be a Volvo because of your user name. Then I looked at your profile and uh
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
Lmaooo yeah man I’ve got the disease, projects on projects haha
Naive_Ad_6975@reddit
What’s it suffering from?
Donas@reddit
That’s not a Vo!
Handmedownfords@reddit
Well Let’s see the car!!
lynivvinyl@reddit
I'm guessing it's a Suzuki Swift.
Intheswing@reddit
I’m thinking diesel VW - the carbon build up on the thru roof exhaust stack is what I’m basing my guess on.
News_without_Words@reddit
VIN literally has VW in it
badburb@reddit
Can’t miss that Mk4 side marker either
Intheswing@reddit
I noticed right after I sent my comment 🤣
okayilltalk@reddit
That turn indicator looks like Jetta.
87eebboo1@reddit
That side marker light is mk4 VW, and since it’s not round enough to be a beetle, that’s most likely a Jetta (it seems more jettas got the TDI than golf)
punkassjim@reddit
They had those same markers on the mk3 in Europe. Late models were oval like this, early were square. Cabrios got ‘em in the states, but Golf/Jetta didn’t. Anyway yeah, this is a mk4.
MF_Kleg@reddit
I second that, look like Mk4 Jetta or golf turn signal on the fender and that's where the hood stack would exit on an ALH or BEW engine.
lynivvinyl@reddit
Oh I wasn't imagining the car in the picture being the project car I was just kind of hoping somebody would soup up a Suzuki Swift because I remember it from my childhood. It was really fast from like 0 to 30 and then that was it.
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
I added a comment with a pic!
Handmedownfords@reddit
That’s awesome!
KamakaziDemiGod@reddit
Or at least tell us what it is!
Dcongo@reddit
Definitely a compliment because it’s Fuckin Sick
BlnkNopad@reddit
you live in the right area
Jeffrey_Jizzbags@reddit
Are you somewhere in Ohio? I swear I saw that car getting gas at a Sheetz recently
Express-Ad4146@reddit
I think it’s a Jetta 1.8T with modded T and Hood release gas vent
punkassjim@reddit
8 hours ago he posts the details, and still somehow you gotta make a wrong guess. 😂
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
😂😂😂
Express-Ad4146@reddit
Haven’t seen them but I know that’s gotta be vw. Look at vin and side marker
LGCJairen@reddit
must be nice, one of our neighbors just leaves nastygrams on my project about how they are going to report it to the city.
SightUnseen1337@reddit
I make sure my cars are all perfectly legal with good paperwork to embarrass people that complain.
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
That’s so lame of them, some people just don’t get it!
AnAngryMuppet89@reddit
Let me see the car….
Ders_Holmvick@reddit (OP)
It’s in the comments my dude!
jk599@reddit

VampyreLust@reddit
I have to wonder, it's too big of a coincidence, there's a post in r/cars about a dude leaving notes on cars he likes, could it be the same?

The hood exit makes me think the neighbor is right.
Justprunes-6344@reddit
Had a Geo metro heater blower failed in winter , aluminum taped 1/2 of a gallon milk jug to hood as air intake for heater core . Zoom zoom
