yep, 2k for the entire country.

They want to do a limited run to see if they will sell, and then do more next year.

Like I said, im thinking that there will be 10x more buyers than cars.

As soon as I can order one I will PM you, and once you order it with me, its yours, no bullshit maybes.

345HP in that little car is impressive but man, its still a hatch back. A $38,000 hatchback.

I used to be the same way. Then my ex bought a '08 Mazda 3. It was a blast to throw around but it needed another 100 hp to be fun. I bought the Speed3 and that shit is fun as **** to drive. It handles great. It's got a peppy little motor.

Now, I'm hooked on small, light, agile, high horsepower cars. They're so fun as a daily driver.

No idea. Didn't know it was scraped until a week or so ago. Need to call the insurance company and get it taken care of.

So how did you detail the engine bay? I've always wanted to do that. But it makes me nervous given some things in there that you don't really want to get wet.

I just sprayed Garry Deans detail juice on the microfiber towel and wiped the surfaces off, Wasn't a lot there. The car is approaching 5000 miles but still pretty clean under the hood.

If you don't drop the windshield that's probably something that never gets checked.

Part of the "deal" of getting my VW was the included oil changes up to 30k miles.

Now? I bring it on to the shop and my 44+ MPG on the highway gets dinged the moment I drive it off the lot. That was my sole reason for getting a VW over a GM or other import: the advantage diesel gets in efficiency.

I ended up winning the best in class award. Best car there from 2008 to present. They announced it was their biggest show ever. Looked to be at least 200 cars in the show. The SPS beat out the 5.0/Roush Pony's, Corvettes, Cameros etc.

I just missed the best in show award because I scraped a rim sometime and I need to get it fixed. These car show guys love the Scat Pack Shaker.

The judges told me that they like originality and stock. Don't focus on custom add-ons. Judges army swayed. True or not?

Yes, lewdog, I cleaned it up myself. Vacuumed, wiped it down, wash, detailed the engine and trunk.

So basically you buy this new green car, leave it stock, wash it, enter it in a show, win your class and come in 2nd for best of show??? Small show? :shrug:

No way that happens in any show I've ever been involved with... Congrats!

I don’t mind cleaning and polishing Mrs. Radar’s ’57 and sitting in the sun all day to not win anything but it is a bit annoying when I do and a brand ****ing new Camaro, straight off the showroom floor with nothing special at all done to it does win an award.
