This was my 2001 TDI. I finally sold it to my VW mechanic for when I hit 450,000 miles (I bought it new back in 2001). No engine mods or anything more than some cosmetic additions. In all that time, I had NO failures of any kind. It’s the best car I’ve ever had.
Looks like the previous tenants had a prediction.
It was a steam car he was working on, according to one of his employees who works at the garage.
I saw a quick interview with one of the people who work at Jay’s Garage, and he said it was a steam car he was working on at the time.
It’s been done....
I believe that EVERY car, police and civilian, has child safety locks that can be used to disable inside door handles. The can be used even if the police car doesn’t have ‘autolock’ doors.
UPS is serious about having no A/C. A few years ago I got a delivery, and the driver drove a Sprinter in UPS brown. It was a really hot day here in Texas and I asked the driver about the A/C (I knew the regular UPS trucks didn’t have A/C, but figured the Sprinter had as standard equipment), and he told me that when…
The dashboard cover, the bra, and yes, the baking soda in the door all point to the previous owner being proud of their car, and went through at least three hoops to preserve it. Baking soda used to be used to absorb odors and used in not only refrigerators, but cars too. NP@$6k.
Considering what some people do to their cars, I consider doing “nothing” a NP factor.
It’s called “fixation”. As motorcycle riders know it’s, “you go where you looking”.
I wouldn’t know. The only mustard I can afford to hand out comes from WalMart...
Then, it worked...
Funny. I bought my 2001 VW Golf GL (2dr) TDI brand new and put 450,000 miles on it and it was the model of reliability. Nothing ever broke on it. Just did maintenance by-the-book and not only did it last half a million miles, it still looked good, drove good, and didn’t even burn any oil (other than fuel) when I sold…
Just look for the Trumpers. It’s usually the same group.
I guess you never HAVE been in a tornado. They hit, and then they’re gone. It only takes a few seconds with most of them. The kid was on the interstate so what’s he gonna do or where is he gonna go in a few seconds? Straight-line winds can do this too. It’s harder when you don’t know where the winds are coming…
It happened around Austin, not west Texas. Still tho......
Didn’t this come as part of the announcement that all of VW group (VW, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Porsche, Bentley, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Scania and Man trucks, and anyone I forgot) was pulling out of Russia? They may not sell many Lambos, but any look at Streetview will tell you they buy lots of VW products. Also, doesn’t…
Ok, now when does work on the “Guitar Cadillac”?
Finally, someone who knows what it’s like to be old. I picked an ‘07 Grand Marquis myself. It’s reliable, big, comfy, and easy to drive because at this age, you will have all kinds of physical issues to deal with. Depressing, I know, but add a few things like huge sway bars, good touchscreen stereo, and a few other…
Tesla might not be saving the planet single-handedly, but it did kick-start the EV car revolution that we’re seeing today. So yeah, they are playing a big part of getting rid of messy oil and adopting electricity across the transportation sector. You speak as though there is something wrong with that. Hmmm.....
