It hit near 70 today in Pennsylvania and I needed to get out and enjoy some windows down, backroad cruising in the GTI. Last I drove it was over 9 days ago! I do wish I could get my winter wheels off but that can wait for now..
It felt nice to get out of my apartment for a bit and see some different scenery. Be safe and find enjoyment in each day, Oppo!

Yeah its been about that much time since I last drove :(
I parked with only about a quarter tank, so i’ll probably have to fill up, which always makes me feel a bit icky in these coronavirus times (as far as touching the gas pump etc.)

Still driving the Jaaaaag to and from work three days a week. But yeah, the C5 is living a lonely life these days. Honestly can’t even remember the last time I drove it, but it has to have been at least 2 weeks.

Use gloves, and it’s cheap, so it should be fun!

It felt good to get out and stretch its legs after sitting that long. I used to drive at least 5-6 days a week so this is so weird. I had almost a full tank and won’t have to fill for awhile but I get the feeling. I hate touching the doors in my apartment building.

Meanwhile: I washed this car three weeks ago and have barely driven it since. This doesn’t even show all the mud in the side.

I wish I could wash mine & paint correct mine with all this free time but unfortunately live in the city and can’t do that at my folks place for at least 7 more days. That color must look great clean!

Water restrictions and such?
It does look absolutely fantastic in person. Despite my camera making it look really bright r ed , it is a dark earthy orangish red with a bright copper metallic flake so it changes in the light.
I’m still confused why the original owner chose that presumably expensive color as one of around 3 options on a base model. I've only ever seen one other LS trim in this color.

Primarily space. I have a garage but no water hook up. And it’s usually easy to drive home and hour, detail my car and get fed a nice dinner haha! Hopefully someday again!
That is funny, I sold a decent amount of used Gray or Silver Cruze’s when I was in car sales. I want to say we had an LS in that color but can’t remember.

Oh you get the red carpet treatment back home got it.
For some reason GM g ave the Cruze some great colors, especially that blue and green, but they sold in tiny numbers. Also, my car is missing the paint code where it should be printed (it’s even labeled) and I’ve had no luck finding it online. Any idea what the color is called?

I went to the skatepark and then some hiking trails today. Also did some needless driving around because gas is cheap, and I went nearly 2 weeks without driving at all!
Just because the stores, and restaurants are closed doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do.

I’m guessing it’s Autumn Metallic. There’s also Seraph Orange on later model years it appears.

Exactly how I feel! I’m trying to be outside but not around people. I never look for decent driving roads around my area so figured I might as well today. Like you said gas is cheap!

No kidding. I really need to take advantage of these empty highways around me!

I actually just fulled up before all this mess. So if I don’t use up the tank I have I may miss out on the 2 dollar premium gas!
