A mechanic at my Indy shop has actually said the same thing. I had my GTI in for some air cond work, refrigerant was low. They also had an 'R' in the shop, had about 50k miles LESS than my car, and it was a mess, had several things wrong with it. I heard the owner telling the mechanic how careful he was with the car, and was told, ''that right there is your problem.'' Although I don't race, I wind it out pretty good on the highway. These cars like to be run hard, for sure.
Definitely! It's real, you can especially feel it after an oil change, tuneup, or major repair. It's like the car is saying, ''oh, YESSS!! thankyou!!

Y'know, I think that's just a sports car thing in general. They're built with sportier parts, they're tuned to sportier driving, they like being driven with vigor.
Day 10: double digits baby
Started the day 45 minutes out from Austin, finished 45 minutes out from Austin. I spent most of the time exploring Austin for the fourth time, reminded of old memories. Pretty fun.
Ate some breakfast tacos at One Taco
Saw some cool cars, as you do in Austin. Ferrari 488 Pista (no pic) and a brand new Ferrari F8 Tributo.
Also saw this M4, which I love. I love all the 2dr M cars, but especially the M2 and 1M, zippy little go-karts.
Also saw a Range Rover Velar, which isn't particularly cool or exciting or rare, but I like the Velar
Kicked around for awhile, bought some sunglasses, went to Zumiez to try to find my favorite sunglasses that I lost day one of the trip
Angular heart-shaped frameless glasses. (Picture lovingly provided by my girlfriend).
Chowed down on pizza for the first time in 2 weeks and I'm not sure if my body is crying out rejoicing.
Set up camp at Lake Travis
Hey is anyone located on the West coast that could receive a package for me? The manufacturer doesn't want to ship to general delivery.
I'd prefer a SoCal address, but anything west coast is fine
