driving short distances

[etlsport]

its a strange neighborhood.. where my house is, i sit out front and work on the vx no problem, the cars there are all nice and we dont worry about them getting messed up (my vx.. roommates A4.. gf/s clean del sol..neighbors fully restored 65 mustang), old ladies walk their dogs without even looking over their shoulder, i cross to the other side of the train tracks and well, i start thinkin like Ldub haha

i probably will just drive into and out of the city from now on since 5 min to warm up the car for a 1 min drive seems kind of pointless to me..


yea J... i cant wait to move haha.. actually i can, i love my house, but its getting a little out of hand, so come march ill be movin back into philly where its safe LOL

Take the train four days a week, then drive once a week so everything on the VX has a chance to get fully warmed up and lubricated on the way. How far is your commute?

[etlsport]

its only actually about 10 miles into the city.. but with traffic the vx will probably be running about 20-25 minutes.. mostly stop and go with about 2-3 minutes on the highway at 55 (give or take depending on the traffic that day)

The VX isn't the best choice of vehicle for that type of driving, but you know what? You'll get to drive her every day.

Mine was a daily driver for over 7 years until just recently when I bought an '06 VW Jetta TDi.

::hands over ears::: LAALAALAAALAA i cant hear you
how dare you! if my vx was in the room youd REALLY be in for it...

haha im sure there are better vehicles for that kind of driving (like my vw rabbit ive been letting my sis keep/drive) but i dont mind driving the vx in those conditions, im used to it by now driving up and down 95 through baltimore and philly all the time.. just gotta be lighter on the gas to salvage a little gas mileage, hopefully my sis will get her own car soon and i can use the rabbit cause no way im gonna swap the vx for the rabbit!!
