Another exception here, then. ‘02 Jetta 1.8T. Had a coil pack fail. Traded it in without any other problems at 98k on an ‘09 TDi. Other than the whole cheating emissions thing, the ‘09 is at 103k. If VW would buy back the TDi, I might go for a Golf R.

Matco and SnapOn. But availability to the general public may not be as easy. Kobalt tools from Lowes may be lifetime warranty. Rigid power tools have a limited lifetime warranty. And, you might be surprised, but many hand tools from Habor Freight will be replaced free of charge. I have some HF tools that I was told…

I’ve got one of thirty ones. ‘09 TDi 6MT. 103,ooo miles. Zero problems. Routine maintenance done by me. I am upset with the resale value. I would like a new car but can't. If VW buys it back, I'll get a new car. If they fix it, I'm gonna drive it.

The Mythbusters tried this one, Watch the answer here.

We are house shopping right now. One of those laser measuring devices make measuring a room accurately and quickly a snap!

Our meter is this way. Our shut off is located at the front of the house and we have to crawl under it in the crawl space (half basement/half crawl space) to shut the valve off. I didn’t want to do that, so I went to the meter to shut it off. Wouldn’t budge and I didn’t want to break it. So, back to the crawl space I…

My electrical panel is labeled (albeit, with old labels and fading ink. I really should redo it.), but I did some electrical work lately and when I shut off the power, I had my iphone in my hand and my ipad in the room I wanted to shut off and had a FaceTime call set up. So, when I shut off the power, I could visually…

While not an official buffer, in Kansas it is the law that at highway speeds over 55, points are not assessed to your license if you are cited for speeding not to exceed 10mph over posted speed. In other words, if you are on the interstate doing 68 in a 60, any ticket will not be reported to your insurance.

I don't speed, either. In Illinois. Seriously. Don't speed if you are in Illinois.

This very much. We are all in this boat together. Maybe we can start a support group. Maybe meet every other Thursday?

We have one in Kansas City but it is not currently airworthy. I remember when it was, I was at work on the north side of downtown when it came into the downtown airport for a landing. Was an awesome sight!

We flew down the beach at Myrtle Beach, SC. I don’t recall that in the safety briefing. We took the long tour and there were just 2 of us and the pilot in a Robinson R44.

Having flown on helicopter tours, they have a fixed flight plan they fly. No deviations allowed.

That’s just like, your opinion, man.

Hell, my 2009 VW Jetta has a 110 outlet standard.

Came for this. Was not disappointed.

What if Juan won one lottery?

On a drive back from South Carolina to Topeka, KS, we stopped for lunch at a speck in the road with a gas station and a Subway, somewhere widely across Kentucky. We filled the cars tank and ours and got on the road. We made it 7 hours and 499 miles later to the Kansas side of Kansas City before the car was out of fuel…

Came for this. Was not disappointed. This is exactly the first thing I thought of after watching the video.

Knowing Doug, it will probably be one of the tuxedo t-shirts.
