I think I may have just built the car to fast, killed the fun factor. It got to the point to where it would get about 300 miles a month... Which just became impractical. I had a great time, met some amazing people along the journey.

November 28th 2012 I said good bye to the Z to replace it with a Golf R. Well to say the least a lot of people might disagree with my choice but I needed the utility and in the month I have owned it I began to drive again. The R is fun and refined I still mis the rawness of the Z or the flick-ability of the rear when provoked.

Well I hope everyone is having a happy new year!

A coworker and I both have the same 90 mile commute, I got a Z for my "fun" car, he got a Golf. HE passes ME regularly on the 4 lane highway we drive He also recently received a speeding ticket Both cars have the FUN factor, HIS also has the DD factor while mine sits in the garage Maybe not such a bad choice

Another thing.... when you get above the 99mph mark i never really felt comfortable in the Z where as in my GTI's and A4 and now R I dont have this issue. It got to a point of me needing a car i can mod and still drive comfortably daily, still throw stuff in the trunk, go up to the snow and have fun. Basically the R is and all around good time. With the Z i felt like I had to have a purpose or real reason to drive it.

the R is easier and more fun to drive fast then the Z was. The Z would cause unwanted attention... kide would tell thier parents at a stop light "mommy, get me that car... I want it..." lmao...

So yeah, both really have positives and negatives.....

the morning after i did the swap i had to go up to capistrano vw where i traded it in, to strip it of some parts i hadnt taken off.

I had gotten there at 7am and well to say the least it was a bit wet out, and no-one other then my service advisor(good friend) and sales guy were there. they let me take the Z out one last time and it was wet.... oh, i almost drove back to SD... so much fun in the wet.
