Default F withdrawal

I'm re-paving my driveway and my F is trapped in the garage for a week.
I have been tossing around my fiance's 2011 volkswagen GTI but its no cure for F withdrawal.
does anyone know of a cure????

All I can say is try to keep yourself preoccupied. I brought my F home and installed coilovers, and the following week I had my driveway redone because it was too steep to go in and out. I just kept thinking to myself that the process won't take more than a few days, and time surely passed. I think I worked overtime almost everyday that week, and that really helped. And your reward- the sound of that exhaust note roar. A beautiful sound, one that you have waited anxiously for.

I feel the same way, I take the the bus to work and have a DD so the ISF only gets driven on weekends when it's nice out...
