Well then, I have quite the treat for you. Allow me to introduce you to my good friend Anthony Burgos’ 2001 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T. This car is beyond daily driver, this car is a daily warrior. This car is not garaged, this car doesn’t even park in a driveway, he parks this beauty in the street. He takes it to work where he is a 9-1-1 officer and dispatcher, school, friends houses. He is also a Firefighter and EMS, and uses his Jetta to respond to calls in. So make sure you pull over if you see this in your rear view with the red&blues flashing!
This car has gone through many, many stages in it’s days to where it finally is.
Wheels & Tires:
BBS-RS: 17×8.5 Front, 17×10 Rear, offsets “Unknown”

This car is nearly flawless, and it really does go to show that with enough time, dedication, and love, anything is possible. Anthony is very proud of what he has done and how far he has taken the car.

Anthony’s daily Jetta (or as he calls it – Oreo) is blowing up the MK4 scene this year, and thanks to Anthony and his crew’s hard work (Authentic DUBBs) they have made it out to nearly every show in the Northeast this year, with many more to come. I guarantee you will see much more of this car here on S:N as the year goes by and he does yet more and more little things to it.
Thanks for looking!
