Default do i hav the highest mileage car?

my favorite mechanic:





just got back from laguna seca (delivered on 4/19/07):





my tow hook:





custom roll bar, mimics RS factory bar, bolted to rear shock tower, front leg is bolted to a box section welded to tub, sorry, i can't get the pix of the box section, glued carpet down.






some of you asked how i installed the lap belts:





big *** shot:

I guess garage queen doesn't really apply in this case. "Low mileage, never been tracked...." also doesn't apply in your case. Does this mean you have 7,000 track miles?

Bravo. I'm glad you're enjoying this fabulous machine!

For an RS, maybe.

My GT3 has 12,629 miles though.
Great to see someone else enjoying their car.

Got me beat by a long, long way. Hey, I just coined a new term. "mooty mileage". Best use in a sentence...wow, that car has "mooty mileage"! Definition...Mooty Mileage - when a human being tracks and drives an expensive sports car to the limit without care of residual value or subsequent potential damage or "wear and tear". (source wikipedia)

Hey mooty congrats on the good use of that RS but I am most impress with you posting pictures rather than telling us about the miles.

Again, love TCs work. How many sets of rotors and tires have gone through??

The sound ***** at Laguna Seca were definitely trying to keep your RS a low mileage car.

Not quite Mooty .... I just hit 12,000 (3,500 track) ... but I've had the car 4 months longer
BTW the Protosports are toast...time for next set. Lasted about 15-18 days. How long did your first set last?

Peace
