Ever heard of deductive reasoning oh smart one?  If it had said vacuum leak front, it would have been in the engine bay, rear?  It can only be one thing, and it fixed it.  Blow it anyway you want.

Believe what you want, it worked for me.  Under $20 for the dongle and reader software.

Audi TT Quattro Coupe started throwing a code; engine light on. Primordial mind starts it’s sludge like start... “uh, don’t have an EDB port Wi-Fi OBDII reader?” Dug through the box of “unknown tech” box, found it, downloaded OBDII software on my iPad (read the reviews first!). Plugged it into my EDB port (look under…

Let VW pay and pay and pay. They deserve it. I believed, daily the line of crap they fed me about “clean diesel” technology and all. I sold countless TDI models as a result. I loved the VW trainer - used to travel mile for training courses. He was a true believer, a VW guy through and through. 4 months before the VW…

Note my user name.  I’ve put 300,000 miles on BMW airheads.  Selling my ‘83 R100RS.  My next bike: a Zero.  BMW has nothing I am interested in in the least; not so Zero.

Those have always been on my “keep an eye on prices” list.  It was Subaru’s shot at a super car, Ital design and all.

Put 300,000+ miles on a Subaru Justy 4x4 manual.  No AC.  Best Mini I ever owned. 

Hehehehe... so FICA wants to build in Mexico. Audi is already there.   Guess auto makers know they will be around longer than US politicians.

Not a chance we’ll see it here; lest some of the Germans in charge finally realized that they don’t need “special American cars” but we want exactly what you sell everywhere.  Not watered down boring crap like the Passat.

Trump.  Remember to vote.  This bad dream needs to go away.  We need to go back to, no.  We need to advance and move beyond this abomination.

Chocolate sleeping to my left. Rescue. She was in her 11th hour at a kill shelter, when a “no kill shelter” rescued her. Wife had two “chocolate labs” (nope, they were Chesapeakes) that lived to be 17 and 18. Annie was under weight, showing signs of having just having had a litter of pups, and looked like “... what…

First, it is a phone.  Groovy.  Apple makes good ones.  But pay $750-1000 for one?  I’m too frugal and too old for that.  My iPhone SE rocks.  Plenty of power for me, does what it supposed to do, and fits in my back pocket or mounting hardware with no issues at all.  And I will keep using my $150 phone until the price…

1st gear: love Audis... have owned three.  2 4000S Quattro manuals, and now the car I wanted - a 2004 Audi TT Quattro Coupe.  Never bought the first one out of the gate though.  Let some other sky pilot do that.

Mostly fringe stars.  Who cares what famous people think.  Unless you have the money to up with measels, or worse, go for it.  You are only hurting your kids and others.

Having owned both a Samurai and a Sidekick here in the big ‘o ‘Merica, I can only look wistfully affair and wish I could go pick one of those up, with a manual please.

E15 is junk. It will eat a fuel line faster than kudzu will climb over your kids if they don’t move fast enough. PureGas App on my phone for sure. After rebuilding a few scooter and motorcycle carbs due to Alcohol in fuel, I’ve become aware. Boat engines are susceptible to E15 too... it’s a good place to find “real”…

Oh, Interest rates.  I am so glad I don’t sell euro cars anymore.

BMWs are built in South Carolina. Mercedes in Alabama. Audi in Mexico.

And now we sing “...and we’ll all go down together...”
