First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

See, that's what I get for not checking up on that thread so often. i was thinking he'd gone all silent. But no, he's just slumming it.

I'm still around, dealing with some Very Bad Thingsâ,,¢ that have my time pretty tied up. Getting some work done on the Golf when time allows but I've been pretty exhausted as of late. Hopefully things will work themselves out in the next few months and I can find more time to screw around on here and in general.
Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

It's a 21 year old VW, the seats only get hot when I rip one and just because it has a roof doesn't mean it offers "rain protection".

Damn! I just realized mine is now 17 years old and probably due for new belts and head gaskets and Lord (or maybe Zooom) only knows what else! [laugh]

after 140000 miles? pretty much the everything! [laugh]

I've replaced bearings, rotors, axles and joints, engine mounts, sensors here and there, fuel filter, 2 exhausts (damn salt), rubber and plastic parts, distributer caps and a whole distributer too, spark plugs, sun roof mechanism (which the Haynes manual recommends be left to an official VW dealer -- BUNCH OF FAIRIES!), clutch plate, control arm bushings, damn plastic dipstick funnels (broken by the f**kwits at Jiffy Lube, who also put the last nail in the coffin of my) intake tube (between the air filter and the throttle), and a damn alternator power cable.

Aside from the belts and gaskets, I know it could use new shocks and maybe an engine rebuild... :-\

No doubt about it! Your budget is the car's KBB value.  [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
