200 is running great! What's kinda strange is for some months after I got it, I didn't think it had all that much power. Definitely felt weaker than the GX470 I used to own but it's been a few years since I had that, so I shrugged it off. Then one day while driving, all of a sudden the motor "woke" up and now it feels far stronger, happier to rev etc.
All I can figure is the guy I bought the car from barely drove it, ~5000 miles a year much of those were probably road trips and he probably didn't break the motor in properly. Since I've put 5000 miles on it in 4 months, it's finally gotten broken in?
Anyways, it was filthy so I gave it a wash. Thank god for Adam's Polishes foam cannon and truck wash brush. All I do is rinse it off, foam cannon it, hit it with the wash brush, then rinse it off again, drying it with a huge micro fiber towel. Turns out pretty well! I need to paint correct/ceramic coat it but I'm just not really up to spending an entire weekend doing it plus having to use a ladder.
Then yesterday for Fathers Day, since it was still fairly cool in the afternoon, I went mtn biking. Rack fits on this so much better than the Golf R, the bike made the R look tiny! Plus I *love* having the tail gate to sit on and put on my riding shoes, then rest on after my ride.
Next service is the 30k one, which will be a much bigger one. Oil change, transfer and diff oil changes and lube up the driveshafts
