New Arrival here
Picked up a new 08 VR GT, 6sp... Car had 170 miles on it when I took ownership of it yesterday afternoon.
Got an ok deal, not great (regardless how much the dealer would like me to believe I was screwin them) but anywho..
Spent almost half my day today reading threads around here
Those of you with 04-08s, where's your oil pressure gauge sit? Manual says it's supposed to be ½ way, but mine's consistently a few ticks above that.
Had a couple other queries, but I've been up for nearly 24 hours now (go go graveyard shift weekend) aaaaand my mind's a bit frazzled.

Welcome, gratz, that's pretty much a brand-new 8!
The oil pressure "gauge" isn't a gauge at all, it's just a switch. It's like an idiot light: at a bit past half the light is off and all is OK, and when it's at zero the light is on and there's a problem. There's nothing between normal and zero.

Pics to come sooner or later... possibly in between. It is a brand new car. No previous owners... I wasn't looking for a new car, but they made it so hard to say no.. Oh well, that's their job, right? And the VR is nice, tho I still think it may get me into trouble :|

I live 1 mile away from it.
Don't take your car there for service, They are wreckless. I got my engine replaced there and the day I got it back, my brake caliper fell off on the freeway and damaged one of my new rims and damn near killed me. They paid for a tow fixed the caliper and ordered me a new rim, but it was another week without my car.

Still gotta get them to do a full detail also. They did a quick wash (maybe wax) before I drove it home.. water spots down from the door handle...
