What I miss and what I don't!!!
 

//Extremely random rant

So for me the Z was great, I loved the rawness of it. I felt as though I had it dialed pretty well.

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!

We still love you here...
You traitor...
Lol

LAMO! Thanks I feel the love! :tup:

I'm sorry to see the Z go :(

But by the looks of it you needed obviously something more practical, And so be it.

All the best with the NEW ride and Please come around, You're still welcomed HERE! :)

The Golf R is a neat car. Should be fun for ya

any pictures of the Golf R?

hatches are fun. having utility is a great thing... you can actually USE the car for something other than just driving. that can add to fun in certain situations.

i wouldnt sell my Z for a hatch, but i can relate to the fun factor of hatches.

That Z
 

Was awesome to say the least. I would have done everything to buy a daily driver and keep the Z.

Yeah, I was doing everything to not get rid of it but once I took the kit off it was over. Then I took into account 2nd block for oil consumption and CSC failure while in traffic. So I made the choice for my pocket more or less. Like I said there are things I will miss but there are things I was over.

Ill always be around!

:tup: 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 :p He also recently received a speeding ticket:ugh2: Both cars have the FUN factor, HIS also has the DD factor while mine sits in the garage:tup: Maybe not such a bad choice:icon17:

My Z stays parked too... My Z is 2 over 2 years old, only 5200 miles.. lol. The roads here in and around DC are horrid.

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.

It's why my little Scoobaru gets so much mileage now. Daily driveability, still fun as hell to floor and mess with when you can.

:eek: got mine in may. When i garaged it in november it had 11k:icon14:
I'm driving it if it's nice weather:tup:

Btw Memorylasts-we haven't hardly mentioned how your car looks:tup: great color-i personally think VW has the image of a fun vehicle-zippy and sporty-styling too is nice. Not obnoxious like some supposedly sporty blah looking cars...:tup:
