April 03, 2009: 10,730 miles....

went out for some lunch, and had some fun in the rain! had a GT mustang come up from behind me, so I got behind him and he got on it some. I stayed with him, don't think he was all the way, but passed him at 120mph. I think the AWD was the ticket. Still on the winters, will put the summers on thursday for sure! New bolts are in from Tire Rack, can't wait! Tchuess.....

March 28, 2009: Lug Nuts too short...

for my new rims. I went to put on the new rims, and the lug nuts are too short. The new rims are thicker, so I spent over $104.51 at the tire rack for a set, plus locking ones. Oh well, roads are still a bit rough, so it may be for the best. Kind of sucks tho. Tchuess.....

March 26, 2009: Rims are being mounted!!!

Just got home early this A.M. as I was doing some NVG training at work. I left Monticello NY at 1 a.m. and got home at 3 a.m. with a stop at McDonald's!!! I was blasting, having fun, but the snow tires with the big side walls were wallowing around! So I washed and waxed the OZ's and dropped them off at the shop. I can't wait for tomorrow!!! Tchuess.....

March 15, 2009: 2nd oil change....

10,011 miles, just did my 2nd oil change this Sunday afternoon. I used the same Mobil 1 synthetic 20w-50. Less than 2 weeks and I will have my OZ's mounted on my summers! Potholes are terrible up here in upstate NY, so I may wait a bit longer though. Tchuess.....

March 04, 2009: 9,550 and climbing

Just went over 9500 miles and closing in on the 2nd oil change. May have my summers mounted on my OZ's in a week or too in preparation for the summer. No issues, except a few of my plastic lowers are showing yellow due to snow/ice from the tires wearing off the paint. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this? Tchuess.....

February 22, 2009: 9040 miles in 6 months...

Well, it is about 6 months and I went over 9K miles yesterday! I celebrated by doing some donuts and drifts in front of the Home Depot parking lot tonight! It had about 2 inches of nice snow, and i turned of the ESP.... still loving the car, can't wait for the OZ's and summer tires to get put on in early april. Tchuess....

February 03, 2009: 8240 miles....

At the end of the day, around 4pm, we pulled in at 815am or so.....Andy drove home, it was quite interesting!! AWD rules....


I am still putting on the miles at a descent clip. Car runs and drives great, still no issues. We took it to Gore Mtn in upstate NY last wednesday and it was a blast in the deep snow. My friend drove it home and was impressed with it. Gas mileage is improving very slightly, I am hoping to be around 22mpg soon. I just heard about the R20 which is the new R for 2010, using the 2.0 turbo. I would like the R42 version i heard about, but will probably get whichever one is the actual one that comes out. The R20 is going to have 270hp from what they are saying. Tchuess.....

January 25, 2009: 130 mph this a.m.

rolling in to work this sunday morning on the hwy i decided to run it up a bit. It pulled no problem to 130mph and smooth as butter. i am impressed, will be interesting to see what i am able to get out of it when i get it chipped this spring/summer. I am signed up for a winter driving course on Caroga Lake in upstate NY in feb, and Monticello Motorclub in central NY in May, should be fun! Tchuess.....

January 08, 2009: 7000 miles in 4.5 months

I hit 7000 miles on my way home from work last night in Monticello NY. I took a pic with my phone. The wife's Tiguan just went over 10k, so I am just behind her. Car is running well, no issues. I can't wait to get the snow tires and stock rims off. Then the OZ's will be on with my summers! Should handle,accel and get better fuel mileage. Tchuess....

January 02, 2009: Sitting in the garage

I got home from work on Sunday night, washed my R32 on monday and she has been in the garage since then! The weather has been snowing and the roads are crap, so I have been driving my pickup. I am at about 6800 miles or so, the wife's Tiguan is at 9700! She goes in for her first oil change on tuesday at Paollozi in Utica NY. I ordered new center caps for the OZ rims, 16 bucks a piece at the Tire Rack, x 4!! Oh well, i got two extras.....Tchuess.....
