  Driving is one of the few things that help me focus. When I’m driving, all of my thoughts are clearer and I do some of my best thinking while behind the wheel. That being said, my eight year old GTI was starting to show its age and it was beginning to become more of a worry and potential financial burden than any kind of real benefit or convenience.

  I’ve been doing a great deal of research on cars for the past year or so, mostly on this car called the ‘R32′, but also into whatever cars other people might have suggested to me or might’ve simply caught my fancy at any given moment. After patient waiting, much thought, and probably entirely too much research, I finally decided that enough was enough and I took the plunge and got myself a new Volkswagen R32. This is the photo I took while cruising with it today along the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), which by the way is an amazing drive. I’m sure everyone already knows how much I’m into cars in general and VW’s specifically, but I still have to say it: this is an amazing machine and I don’t regret having gotten it. It’s definately a driver’s car, designed for people who really take joy in being behind the wheel.

  Incidentally, it’s also the first brand new car I’ve ever owned.

  R32′s are a limited production run of 5000 total for the US and each one is numbered. Mine is #4855.

  The color is also rare. It’s called ‘Deep Blue Pearl’ and it’s specific to this model, not available on any other GTI, Rabbit, or Jetta. Blue has always been my favorite color.

  I love my new car.
