Back in high school there were a number of my friends who got the urge to buy crotch rockets. I was not one of them but one of my friends let me take his brand new Kawasaki for a spin up the road. Now I've been on dirt bikes multiple times before but never a full fledge motorcycle. I get on and have no problems…

Did anyone actually notice that the BMW (dashcam car) was soooo far back there was enough room for the truck to get in front of them until they moved? It almost looks to me like the people in the BMW started pulling forward when the truck started to move over. Now, the person in the truck doesn’t appear to have used a…
I tried to find you something that in theory is drivable:
I said I could only do regular maintenance (like oil changes, plugs, filters) on the Ram. The coolant is a little more complicated on the Ram but still doable. But those are regular maintenance items. If I wanted to get down and dirty with the motor on most newer cars there are a ton of computer controlled pieces.
It looks like it’s in great shape but definitely a Subaru engine and maybe some accoutrements other than a really expensive radio I have a feeling most people wouldn’t use.
Based on the value of these on the market this seems a tad high. I’m a huge fan of these older VW’s but what’s missing here are real engine upgrades and the syncro system to make me even consider this vehicle a decent price. I know someone commented on how you could buy a new truck and my 2014 Ram has more features,…
I think when I was dating my ex-wife in high school, her parents driveway was in worse shape than this course.
If the price for one of these in nice condition wasn’t astronomically high, I would already have one. This one isn’t a camper version but it is a whopping $55K. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volkswagen…
I can’t believe that the VW Syncro Van was NOT included on this list. We are talking about a 4-Wheel Drive VW Van with in many cases the pop top camper and the normal camper van accoutrements including a sink and stove. This vehicle as a base has plenty of clearance, plenty of room inside and even if you didn’t have…
Sure we have Matt Damon from The Martian but what about his entire Bourne Identity? If tough and aggressive driving would be needed, I’m pretty sure that Jason Bourne would be able to handle anything the road, sidewalk, stairs, pedestrians, motorcycles, cars, and whatnot could throw at him. I would be willing to be he…
This thing is right around the corner from me. A 5 minute drive and i’m there. As a matter of fact it's in the same neighborhood I purchased some older cabriolet parts a month ago. I'm half tempted to drive out and take a look....not really to buy but to take a good look.
These types of things are what’s wrong with the country as a whole. I read some Facebook post a few weeks ago that said “everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11” and now I guess I am going to be seeing posts that say “everything I need to know about VW/Germans I learned at the holocaust museum”. This…
I may not be a car expert but VW here in the states is trying to compete with automakers that have a more robust line of cars. What does VW have? Well they have the Golf, they have the Jetta, they have the Passat (this includes the CC), they have the Beetle, they have the Eos and they have two really crappy SUV’s…
In high school I had a scirocco that I decided needed to have subwoofers (2 JL Audio 10W6 Subs to be exact). The problem was that I was so worried about someone stealing it I decided the best thing to do was to build a false floor in the back with a piano hinge so I could still get to the spare tire, but would also…
I had a hard time voting on this one. The problem is while that van is in excellent condition, it looks like none of it is original inside. The newly created particle board shelves and rear bench take away from the value rather than add to it, or at least in the current uncovered/painted condition of. While I…
I took my 1982 VW Scirocco to not one but two local dealers who didn’t even want to touch it. Please keep in mind the engine at the time (it’s since been swapped with a 1.8 16V with carbs) was the original engine and the car only had 68000 miles on it (its currently at 69500). Absolutely no rust or anything. I was…
Since this article is a number of years old I doubt anyone will see this comment. However, I wanted to point out the Scirocco has slowly started to see a little bit of a comeback but they are typically owned by people like me. I’m a Scirocco nut in a way, even in the VW club world we are all like outcasts. I will have…
Why does it sound like a cross between a weed whacker and a vacuum cleaner?
In relation to the push button ignition, while I think you have to be a complete moron to be killed in a running parked car by accident (I don’t know the details of the deaths), I can tell you it can be very difficult to tell with some cars that they are still on.
