This randomly popped up in my feed and it’s always nice to see a POV of someone driving through the same places that I’ve driven through for work and where I reside! I’m going to miss it when I leave.

[@kevinshijaku4525]

Places to be in downtown Boston: the nearest exit out of downtown. The best feeling ever

[@Damien781x]

I love driving around Chinatown on the weekends. Lots of life and sometimes there’s mini car meets. Terrible traffic tho. Seaport has a lot of nice roads and super cars all around. And the back Bay Area is very lively

[@andyid26]

Last time i drove though that tunnel in boston was when i bought my B5 S4! wish i could go back there now with my loud ass Golf R! it be pretty crazy!!

[@NewEnglandPete]

Always a good time in the tunnels!

[@H_ssan7861]

Wait why did u downgrade?

[@charlie_mk7.5]

@@H_ssan7861 ain't a downgrade, I love the b5 s4 but it's not a good daily driver, very unreliable compared to a golf r

[@Nateriarchy]

Can confirm 7.5 GTI is great in city driving. And with these drivers, it’s a lifesaver. Ducked a few close calls and been here a month😅

[@Sauceyboi_]

getting this randomly in my feed is making me wanna take my gti into boston, just got it recently but havent had the chance

[@codakmoun]

Future car coming soon. Good job brother!!! glad you enjoyed the cruise around bean town in style 💪😎💪 I like the crackle as well, You gotta wake these people up Some how, Some way, gotta buy me aye golfR and leave the hood, one day !!! 😂😂😂❤

[@codakmoun]

No KiZzy, crackle tune make her head get bizzyy. in the mirror she dancing so slezzyyy. Get in my golf, new game I call it lets get dizzzyyy 😅😅😅

[@codakmoun]

Yooo somebody controlled they manzzz 🤪🤪🤪☝️☝️😂😂🤣🤣

[@NewEnglandPete]

Right on! Appreciate it my man!

[@imprel5948]

Mikes pastry's > . I miss boston so much sadly moved to AZ

[@nerdyoreo7167]

Come down to RI sometime for a cruise and some Iggys! Huge fan my man. So happy to see the R running well! You deserve every bit of success.

[@NewEnglandPete]

Appreciate the kind words. I was just down in East Providence in Nov visiting a few homies. Stay posted on my IG, I usually post my whereabouts there.

[@nerdyoreo7167]

​@@NewEnglandPete heck yeah good to know my guy! Keep it up!

[@youareinflames]

Last march I drove from Toronto to Boston in my 2012 golf 2.5. The sudden snow storm had me fly off on the turn around Rochestor and land on a ditch full of snow about 3-4 feet. They had to use a winch to pull me out and carried on for another 8 hours through storm. Wish I had 4motion could have been a lil more help I guess. (my car was in winter tires)As soon as i reached Mass turn pike I thought the conditions of the roads were very bad it was hard to see the lines and lots of big water puddles that could steer your car the other way and when I reached the city of Boston immediately I felt the narrow streets. Thank god I as driving a golf which is perfect for any city. Nice city I would love to drive there again.

[@R19Robbin]

Golf 7.5 is the perfect daily 🔥🔥

[@NewEnglandPete]

You know it!

[@supermodio64]

Grew up in the suburbs of Boston so this brought back memories. Went to college in VT and the drive up to Lake Champlain was beautiful. From there you can go up to Montreal. Also enjoyed the ride out to Cape Cod. Would love more POVs around New England. 👍

[@iankonstantino6648]

number 1 fan

[@NewEnglandPete]

appreciate it!

[@ulmac]

sounds awesome dude

[@MTLVWRVlogs]

you should come to Montreal. I'm a mechanic so tif you ever need anything done let me know. I also have a 2019 golf r. bought stage 2 last year can't wait to have the crackles on it. I will be putting a catless downpipe because I do want it to be a little louder tbh. anyways keep making these videos bro!!!!! im loving it.

[@gangatalishis]

Yeah the land mines in boston are no joke. Still love it here tho.

[@ReeceBrutsman]

M2 N55 would be a nice move its the only next move I could see or the cheaper version the 335is if I had a next car and could not afford a R or A3 or GTI!

[@NewEnglandPete]

Agreed! Might have to make the move soon.

[@magi115]

hit up Notch Brewing in Brighton. lived on Symphony Street in college with my built motor modded 93 Corrado SLC.

[@NewEnglandPete]

i’ll have to check it out, thanks!

[@Alexis-mk6]

Sup man Boston gotta be one of the most crowded places haha I’m in the Lynn area I drive a vw gti the roads are horrible

[@dylanhamawi5457]

What’s up man, I really like your videos, you drove past my brothers old dorm haha. I’m also looking for a Golf R, Maybe like a 2015 what u think

[@NewEnglandPete]

2016+ always! If you can swing a 2018+, then that is best!

[@masshole1373]

I’m glad the big dig gave us all these tunnels

[@RYP3]

I got my golf r today, i crave the pops n bangs

[@BeakersCars]

GTI is awesome for boston i can fit anywhere with it and it makes going through downtown easier i use my sparco 18s and only draw back is my stock suspension with nuespeed springs takes a total on them. hopefully a full coilover can do better

[@henryi9738]

My cousin used to drive a Subaru STi hawkeye in Mass. He said he didn't want to go into the inner city, because there's too many Massholes driving in Boston. 😡

[@SvG627]

This is litterally the same route i take 😅 the bridge u were on is called zakim the tunnel is called the big dig aka oneil tunnel the exit u took in the tunnel leads to financial district @5:47 u were in the quincy market area on ur right hand side.. the area where u pointed at where ur buddy "alex lives" is the beacon hill area and thats where the state house is with the golden dome and boston common park

[@NewEnglandPete]

Thank you sir!

[@kevinnorris6558]

I actually found the drivers/traffic in Boston to be tame compared to cities like NYC. Every time I leave NY and go to another state, I'm always amazed how much tamer the drivers are.

[@TheNewD7]

i know u got hills but check out blue hills. great road

[@TheIrfanxz44]

I live 10 minutes outside of Boston I took my m4 one time and will never do it again roads are just embarrassing bad

[@Monkeyspass]

I have a golf R in Boston with 19" prets... and I have bent all 4 wheels multiple times. Otherwise it's a golf, a friggin great city car.

[@CHASETHEBAG09]

why don't you launch control the 7.5 its the best

[@Diontb]

i've never heard anyone say the OG m2 is better than the M2c lol but fair enough if you do prefer it

[@jumpbugged]

Where is that steering wheel from? It's sick

[@devonforsure260]

Dude should've arranged a meet!

[@NewEnglandPete]

I’ll have to next time!

[@knightnight0237]

Please buy the eqt discharge pipe kit. We need a good video on it

[@ezahs7628]

lol met you down at UNH and now your in my city!

[@NewEnglandPete]

Yessir

[@Jambiswag]

Don't go to Brockton

[@JeffSylvia-e8w]

Hey buddy I live in the city if you ever want to do some filming together more cars= more fun!!

[@Robtsunami]

With all the traffic in Boston you will end up hating a manual

[@imprel5948]

Oh yeah and its called the Summer Tunnel and its closed for 24/early 2025

[@Lumalee-]

Does the constant crackle pop tune not get old\annoying after a while? Especially at low speeds and at night? Personally I’d hate it.

[@Hardwaretuned]

Whats the mpg on a stage 2 mk7.5? Also it feels like they went back in time for the mk8 for tech.

[@mirsand1397]

Did u had a service on ur gerclutch ?? At 100 000 km sory for bad eng

[@NewEnglandPete]

Not sure the conversion, but every 40k miles for DSG. This DQ381 claims to be good until 70k miles, but I do every 40k

[@mirsand1397]

@@NewEnglandPete and nice car the stering wheel is siick

[@ikhruben9013]

Why are you driving in first gear so much? Thats so terrible for a DSG. Please just shift up earlier.. otherwise you will need to replace your dsg asap.. 6:25 downshifting to first is so so so bad for a DSG my man..

[@NewEnglandPete]

🤓☝🏻

[@ikhruben9013]

@@NewEnglandPete Seems like someone wants to buy a new DSG lol. Nothing to do with the ''🤓''

Everything to do with the “🤓”. If it breaks, I fix it. Don’t matta.
