Either you are trolling us or you didn’t really drive one - must have just sat in one. One that was off.

I really dig the spongebob van...

Many years ago I purchased a beetle TDI - the most basic version (cloth seats and power nothing). When I went to change the brakes I noticed I was missing a wheel bolt (VWs use bolts instead of nuts on studs).

It’s called the 3 because Model E was already taken...

Volvo and VW both had them in Europe - they got over triple digit MPG. Never got them here...

No way, keep that thing and head over to BAT in a couple years to sell it at some outrageous price like all those other oddball car auctions.

I actually saw a Malibu Hybrid on my commute in to work this morning.  So at least one was sold in Northern California...

On my 535D, the eco-mode not only charges the battery when coasting, it kinda disables the rear drive-train which means you can coast for days and days - even on flat roads. It’s awesome. Coupled with the fact that diesels cut the fuel when coasting contributes to pretty great MPG considering the gobs of torque.

Forget barefoot driving - can we make THIS grounds for the death penalty? Or at least an ankle-hobbling?

Here’s my real life story:
