My JCW is here!

My JCW came in this week and I was able to pick it up yesterday! I only managed to put about 75 miles on it so far, as there's a snowstorm going on right now up here in the Northeast. I've got some Blizzak LM 25's on order for next week so I can at least get it out this winter. So far it's been a blast. I can't believe how much room is inside considering how small the car is from the outside. It looks like a toy car in my garage! I'm trying to keep it under 4k rpm's and haven't heard much of the burble and pops that I heard with the dealer demo car. I assume it's because I'm keeping it under 4k, and the exhaust hasn't broken in yet? I've been driving with the sport button on. Anyway, I've included a terrible picture I took when I got it home yesterday.

Congrats! Looking at your garage picture I don't know why you'd want to ruin that perfection and drive in the snow! Love the reflection of the tiles in the door and the smoothness of the roof. That being said, I loved my drive home tonight with snow tires. Wave if you're in the Newton area, I'm the Chili Red one!

Oh, and you might want to update your signature...

Congrats, that was my second choice color. It was a very hard decision and sometimes I have buyer's color remorse but, I saw a Chili Red one first .

The burble and pop does become somewhat more pronounced as it breaks in. It is much louder at 7500k then when I drove it off the lot.

Congrats and have fun. Nice garage too.
