Even I can spin the tires on my MKIII Jetta with the 2.slo on a wet surface....

Sometimes I wish I had purchased the diesel version, but I just couldn’t justify the price difference. We got our 2001 V10 in 2006 or 2007 and paid $12K. The only diesel I could find was $19K. And $7k is a lot of gas... (Even at 2008’s $4/gallon prices.)

And the Ex didn’t survive a trip to Boston in 2009. (Totaled in…

My V10 (gas) Excursion managed to get 13 on the highway. (And 12 pulling a 10,000 lbs travel trailer).

When I was in 5th or 6th grade (so 1982 or 83), two friends and I spent the weekend playing Defender to 1,00,000 points.

There are some actual good parts on the car if I had the time a patience to part it out. It’s just all the things that don’t work that are really holding it back.

Hmm. The last time I checked Edmonds.com, my ‘97 Jetta was worth $425 in a private party sale until you deduct $550 for the high mileage. So I pay to have it go away....

I’m not drunk on the current horsepower. My ‘97 Jetta 2.slow makes only 115hp, but at least it’s manual. No the early ‘90’s Impreza’s (at least with the automatic) were anemically slow, especially when fully loaded, on short entrance ramps, in dense urban areas where the traffic flow on the 8 lane wide (each way)…

My one ‘70’s car was a ‘76 Chevy Camero RS 350 (165 HP) and I was driving in Columbia, SC.

I was really looking for SOS to be on the list...

On a surface ship (target to Bubbleheads), nuke waste make up probably 90% of Deck Division. Along with the 10% who got scammed into going with the Apprenticeship program...

And I totally forgot to mention that this was back when Subaru’s didn’t all come with AWD either...

We got audited on our 2011 taxes for taking an Adoption Credit. In our case we had credits on both 2010 and 2011, for the same child which is what probably triggered the audit. (Though we know several other families that were audited in 2011 for their adoption credits also.)

Truly complaining would be mentioning the lack of A/C and Black Vinyl seats in South Carolina....

When I first glanced at it, I thought it was a KIA badge....

While not nearly as nice as the ‘73, I still think the redesign with the chrome bumpers looks better than the plasticized ‘78 facelift. (But then I’m biased as my first car was a ‘76 RS350.)

I used to buy cheap grills about every 4 - 5 years.

So you need a better grill...
