Hit 110 MPH over by the airport. This thing pulls so hard at speed it’s awesome. And it’s very stable at speed too. I love this car. So much fun to brap around in.
Man you drive so little... that's :impressive: i drove 5k in the last 2 months.
Really only drive it to/from work and then it stays parked all weekend :iono: I walk everywhere in the city.

I only ever did 10k/year one time, when I was dating a girl who lived in Atlantic City area, and then moved to DC, and I was traveling there every other weekend or so. I think if I had a 4Runner or Jeep or something similar aintcare like, that I'd actually drive it more or at least on longer trips to go explore places. Maybe. IDK. Would depend if the doggie gets car sick in it or not. She's barfed in my car and barfed in the Tiguan like 3 times. So maybe she just hates all cars.

5500 miles today. Car is fine, nothing is broken. Developing some panel buzzing here and there. Might go away once it warms up.

Raining this morning so I turned the nanny systems off and went into full race mode :stig: Gunned it while turning right at an intersection by the stadiums and got some dorifto. Man I love this damn thing. It's such a hilariously stupid car.

I do wish it had a more compliant suspension. I don't find it rough necessarily but it's bouncy at low city speeds and doesn't have much travel so the car gets thrown around a bit on bad pavement. Hardly ever bottoms out which is impressive af but the ride is certainly busy whereas the GF's Tiguan just plows over bullshit with some head toss but that's it. The Tiggy bottoms out more doe.

I also wish the throttle were a little easier to use at low speeds. However, the super sensitive throttle plays into how stupid easy it is to rev match down shifts so I'm torn on that. The bouncy suspension mixed with a not very firm bottom seat cushion and a hair trigger throttle make going over rough pavement interesting. I basically just coast over it because of how much I'll bounce around, if I had my foot near the throttle it would cause jerking and surging because I can't maintain it constant enough over bad stuff.

I should clarify that when you're going flat out the suspension is totally fine. Clearly tuned for higher speed impacts. Highways are fine as well IMO aside from road noise which is to be expected in a car like this.

I still love it.

How long did the :dillerman: take to fix your rear deck? Leave the car with them for the day? That's got to be 99% of the buzzing in the car, lol.

Ours have been :jalepenis: for the most part this year too. We had a couple of good dumps but hopefully it's all above freezing moving forward.

Washed my summer rams for the first time EVER yesterday.

Holy God :mindblown: at the amount of brake dust on them. They clean now though. Hoping to swap the wheels and wash her today after work.

I'd be :triggered: if he showed up to the PDRBQ with a still-filthy car.
I only cleaned the rams doe.
I'll clean the car I think. Hoping I can get a decent street spot after work.

Would you go a year without cleaning your rams at all?
