I certainly would have a fatter bank account if I had purchased a different car.

I'm up to 154000 on my 01 Jetta. It isn't perfect but I like it and it runs ok.

My Jetta is 11 years old and still has that "new crayon" smell.

I like what you've done to my car!

Having been accused of being old on the front page... Back in my day, we didn't have traction control. My first 3 cars were front engine, rear drive. I grew up in Massachusetts, where we got snow, sleet and freezing rain. Sometimes all in the same storm. Then I fell victim to FWD. But, E-brake was always fun in…

And...I bet you pay much less on upkeep! Wife's car is a '98 CR-V and it is so reliable compared to the Jetta.

Hood ornament, of course! That's the "Country" part of Town and Country.

Good point! I am now happy living behind the times. I gave up on keeping up with the Joneses when I got laid off 5 years ago and had to take a lousy service industry job. I'd love a newer car but the high tech stuff doesn't matter as much as the way the car drives.

All this is great...but none of it matters to my demographic since I don't have an Iphone, blackberry, or microsoft device that I connect to my car. I have a 3 year old slider phone that I use to make calls, send text messages and take photos that I upload via memory card to my PC. My newest car is a 2001 Jetta. It…

Bummer! I love listening to these idiots. Idiots in the sense that they are a couple of well educated dopes. Best of luck to them and they'll be missed by my household.

You're wrong. That Bing ad has my username on it.

Ok, you've put Dick Trickle into the headline so I present his late nephew Chris Trickle. He was tragically murdered in a drive-by shooting on a Las Vegas Freeway. He preceeded a guy named Kurt Busch for a local team.

I'll give them a call. I didn't see my bike/year listed but seems like a good chance they'll know what I need. Thanks for the tip.

I need to do maintenance on it before I ride it again, starting with: Chain and 2 sprockets.

I recently had a guy visit the RV place I work at who asked me whether he should buy the diesel version of this for $5000. I recommended that he step away from it due to the fact that it is on a Renault van chassis and there isn't a Renault dealer in Las Vegas. I think he didn't want to listen because he kept asking…

I could get all patriotic and go Commando.

There can only be one answer. I want to be the master of European roads, therefore I must drive a Roadmaster. But of course this answer has been stated previously.

A friend had to have a '66 Charger. He was born in '66 so it was important to him. He bought the car for $2100 from a shady dealer. Spent thousands on bodywork that took nearly one year to complete (there was so much Bondo on the front fenders. Bondo was over cardboard and newspaper!), spent more money to remove…

01 Jetta TDi bought in 2009 with 116k on the odometer: Injector pump, transmission, glow plug wiring harness twice. Sadly, I've nearly got as much in repairs as I paid for the car.
