Here is the copy of my carfax.... actually said total loss in 2006 but not reported until 2013

Doesn’t the side marker have to be amber for the US? Seems like the design won’t translate as well for that case because of the amber reflector.

Hmmm...I was always taught (by my rather feminist mother, who began drilling the concept of consent into her three boys at a very early age) that when meeting a woman in a social (or business) situation, I should wait for her to extend a hand, as it allows her to make the choice whether to initiate physical contact.

Just bought a new car last week. The advertised price on the dealers website didn't apply because I wasn't a general contractor, or a mortuary...

We did it more recently than that, too!

They still terrify me.

Still too heavy.

Ok how about an expert opinion. I was racing in the VLN as well today. From what I have seen of the crash and know of the condition there today I believe 100% that Jann was blameless. All cars get light on the front end at Flugplatz. It happens every lap you drive through there. Up until this incident there has not…

That's exactly what will happen, and the Elio will still never come to market.

They're taking an enormous ROW for the road through there. When (or if) they finish, it should be pretty nice. But it's a long way off.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I drove one and thought the same thing. It was very strange that an independent rear suspension does that, but it does.

I've actually experienced the same thing in Nissan Maximas.

It made me feel like I was driving my 99 Mustang lol

Ug. This thing is hideous. It has to be one of the worst looking cars sold in the last 20 years...if not ever. Seriously, if you get this in the wrong color, people will sick up when they look at it.

My sister had a 91 Cavalier. One time while it was parked, it randomly 'started' and ran thorough somebody's fence about 10ft. ahead of where it had been parked. My sister called the police and they thought she was drunk, until they were writing the report and the car again tried to 'start' on its own.

I owned a '99 1.8T passat made in germany. It traumatized me so badly I bought a honda.

Nice collection! The Fiesta ST is such a great car. I'd love to get an NA Miata someday. Thankfully, my wife has her own car, an 06 Jeep Liberty we carpool in some days.

My 2000 GTI was built in Germany. It was still a POS. Assembly location has nothing to do with it.

tried to fix my friend's beetle w/ chronic overheating issues - impossible to get at coolant sensor - and only found out there's two.. for some reason. nearly impossible to access bulbs in taillights *sigh* - long story short, she actually dumped the car and moved overseas. Ended up donating it to a local charity.

With you on the whole VW thing, my 2009 Jetta 2.0t. Also had DSG issues, ABS issues, brake issues, front end issues...the final straw was the rear main seal going. Loved that car, but hated how unreliable it was.

Haha. I just posted the same car, but a generation earlier and with the 5-cyl.

This! Also owned a 2011 Jetta SE with Convenience. DRL would not stay on or come on at random, and never both at the same time. Windshield randomly cracked for no reason one day in the driveway and break had a leak within 5K. Constant issues. Oh and the horn just randomly stopped, and brakes just never felt right,…
