Did you JUST buy that R? When I was shopping there, they had a DSG R in stock and said the 6MT just sold :)

I hear you on the DSG. I drove one just for kicks, but I just couldn't do it.

I grudgingly went with black on this GTI, as I wasn't prepared to spend (almost) R money on a red or white car.

Not sure if you like to race, but I usually hit most of the NQS AutoX's up in Marshalltown and a few others when I have time. Would love to see the R in action sometime. That goes for anyone else too!

Yeah I traded in a Red MK6 GTI DSG Apr Stage 1.
DSG is fun but I was missing the manual. I felt like I was in a video game with the DSG if that makes sense lol
I have been looking to get into AutoX I have never done it but I think I will try to find time and do it next year.

I pass through Lincoln pretty regularly to visit my old man on the Farm (Hebron, NE area).

Just keep your eye on that page, they typically run 4 per year. They are held on the, what was, 0.6mi go-kart track (paved road course, plenty wide for a single car) in Marshalltown. It's a mix of domestic, Japanese and European (occasional exotic) vehicles that show up. No ego's or anything like that and it's a good time. The classing isn't as uptight as the SCCA event around here either. My outgoing 2008 Cobalt SS/Turbo was stock class and running at the top of that class. A lot of the folks involved with NQS can instruct/ride along too if you are not comfortable doing it solo yet.

$25 to race, and lasts from sun-up to sun-down basically. They have approved helmets you can use, but I bring my own for my kid and I.

I mention ego's because, and maybe its just me, but the couple times I've done to SCCA sanctioned events around here... my experience was not good.

NQS auto-x is awesome!! I have been there in my old mk4 stage 2 gti, 91 miata, red e30, 135i and bone stock reflex silver 1.8T GTI last year.
