Money Spent on maintenance from date it came home; a princely sum of $0.

22,000 Miles/32,000kms completed in 21-months of Ownership

Touchwood !!!

Yes, I had to start this post with touchwood as Blau Rakete has been a dream to drive and apart from the crazy fun that I get every single time I am behind this beast, there is nothing adverse to report.

Let me cover some important areas that we normally experience as its normal to experience wear and tear for every product.

Rattles- None. The cabin is deathly silent and not a single rattle till date. Touchwood, again !!

Tires- Someone from the forum mentioned RFT's don't last more than 10-12k miles and here I am after 22,000 miles, I know I can squeeze more life out of them. And, all of this despite aggressive driving all the time.

Punctures- None. Touchwood, yet again.

I am waiting to change the tires to experience the car's original potential.

Gas Mileage- Fantastic is the word. At an average, I get about 22mpg but, what shocks me is the rising cost of gas prices again. Last tankful was a tearful $85 bucks.

Money Spent on maintenance from date it came home- A princely sum of $0.

My apologies for such a boring report but, that's what the reality is.

I'm enjoying the fall colors everywhere in our state and area outside home and neighboring communities is exploding with fall colors.

So I thought 22,000 miles deserves a small photoshoot.
