6 months = 5000 miles, not bad. I took this vehicle to South Texas for the holidays. 800 mile round trip. Car gets 20.9MPG driving 85-90MPH. For those that arent driving that speed in Texas, you will get run over. :)
Dropped the car of to get the rear window re-tinted. Apparently these cars are difficult to tint, much less retint. Hope it turns out well.
Went to an open track day in the R32. 1:35's on the 1.7 CCW. On the stock Dunlop's with 39 PSI.
Also noticed their pace car was an R32 as well. I wonder what times they were running? They are probably 10 seconds faster than I, LOL. While I was at VIR this past June, I again, noticed their pace was car was an R32.
I park far away and double park. I walked out from Sears to find a gash on the right door molding. Luckily it did not compromise the metal. $24 for the molding, $25 for paint. $50 ding. I will wait a little while longer before I replace it.
I drove the car 100% in city traffic. I averaged 16.7MPG based upon hand calculations. Distance/Gallons Filled. My MFD read 14.7MPG. I had a few occasional dashes, but not brough to redline nor WOT.
Installed the R32 Monster Mats however I left the original plastic covering in the floorboard. My goal is to keep this one of the cleanest, original R32.
Just had the vehicle in for window tint. I placed 35% all the way around. It appears to still have that blue-ish look.
