My New Fast is outta Control!!!
OK- So I just got my Fast today and I don't know what to do!
When I first got him outta the box he seemed angry at first and then smiled at me... must have been a long trip in a box :-[
The first time he was left alone in my car, the lil fooker chewed off the volume knob and now the stereo is stuck at 75% volume... then he peed all over the leather in the back seat.
Is this normal???? like WTF?
So we are on the way home headed southbound on Hwy 242... the Fast gave me a weird look as I glanced at him... So I slowed down and tucked back in to traffic in the #3 lane. Looked at him again and he grinned with a "F*k you! look causing me to down shift to "S" mode- at the same time, I notice the patrol car neatly tucked between the oleanders and the ivy that was growing up the sound wall.
Fortunately, the CHP Traffic Officer had the LIDAR gun pointed at another 'target' and while during the shift into "S"; the engine revved, the turbo whined and the Fast sitting in the passenger seat growled at me!!!
So, I have a few questions and I hope you can help:
-I installed the lightning bolt tail, does the tail affect behavior?
-Do I have a defective Fast- or are they all like this?
-Should I chrome his legs or bling the grill out first?
-If the dealer updates the flash software will it help?
-Can I feed him 86 octane instead of 91?
-If I have his tailed change to custom part, will it void my warranty w/ VW?
Greatly Appreciate All Your Input,
