I saw my first "500" Golf R in the wild yesterday!
It was a bit spooky, I had a discussion about the car with some friends a short time before, and then we spotted the car shortly thereafter. My friend was in a separate car ahead of me, stopped at a light, and the R was stopped going the opposite direction. I could see my friend point with his right hand near the rearview mirror and display a thumbs-up for me.
This happened around 4:30PM on Motor Avenue in Rancho Park, Los Angeles. I'm wondering if this was reallypeacedoff since the distance is about six miles from there to VW of Santa Monica.
