This 1992 VW GTI is our BringATrailer auction pick of the day:
The last of the second-generation GTI 16Vs, this 2505-pound hatchback is powered by a raucous 134-hp 2.0-liter four.is currently being auctioned until Saturday, January 28.
It's said you can't go back, but then you see your first car being auctioned off on Bring a Trailer and you start to question that adage. Staring down at me on my laptop screen is a box-shaped piece of my past: a 1992 Volkswagen GTI 16V with 52,000 miles. It matches my first car down to the Tornado Red paint—other paint colors included white, black, and Montana Metallic, a teal-like hue.
Okay, it's not exactly like mine. My 1990 model lacked the integrated third brake light and had black trim around the rear window. But mine had the same big-bolstered Recaro seats with electronic height control and two-piece BBS RMII cross-spoke wheels that had the look of the far pricier three-piece BBS RS wheels.
The last of the second-generation GTIs, the U.S.-spec models were assembled in VW's plant in Mexico. Earlier second-gen Golf and GTIs came out of the company's Westmoreland, Pennsylvania, plant, which shuttered in 1988. Early 16Vs arrived in 1987 and featured a 1.8-liter four with 123 horsepower. In 1990, the engine grew to 1984 cc or 2.0 liters, and horsepower rose to 134, with 133 pound-feet of torque at the ready.

Tornado season and safetyHere’s a personal story: when working for KTRK (ABC) back in the day, I was offered a two week stint to fill in for Spencer Christian on “Good Morning, America.” This was in November 1992, which is a ratings month, and station’s around the country would not let their chief meteorologists off to fill in -- but I was the weekend guy! I jumped at the chance, and after two weeks, I was scheduled to fly home Saturday afternoon to be back in time for my evening newscasts.
