So let me see if I can sum up the content of your rambling post... "I finally at risk of public embarassment picked up the car. I hope you all appreciate just how difficult it was for me to come out in this weather after not caring enough to come out for the whole past month" "This car means...

History tends to repeat itself... so i'm guessing no call, no show. Maybe with a side of no work, no bill, no pay? Illness or no, this is nothing new. It's not the first time, and if it turns out to be the last it's only because the guy kicked the bucket.

I believe it would be called filing a false report, which could result in legal action taken against the person claiming theft of property. I'd assume that any law enforcement officer acting on a false claim of theft with no evidence of a crime would have some explaining to do...

Sup Garrett

2000 Golf TDI minus longblock. I wrecked my engine (cracked the oilpan while driving) and bought a remanufactured longblock and a brand new turbo. The longblock is defective. I'm out a lot of money in parts/labor paid to my mechanic to install and then diagnose the problem, to no avail. I'm...

any other suggestions?

I've been offered 7k in current condition, so consider that the firm bottom line.

Automatic Trans 55k miles college student abused, accidents (everything repaired with OEM except a small hole in rear bumper), MAF on its way out, small ding on passenger side. wett chip, supersprint exhaust. Accepting reasonable offers. It's not as horrible as I make it sound- it needs work...

I'm boosting this because I want more advice Now I need a van for myself... roughly $3000 limit. I need a cargo van for myself that's extremely reliable, with functioning environmental controls, and can hold highway speeds. Safety is a big plus I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm just...

Yeah, I agree.. Sprinter hands down. But it's in a different category- practical.

Okay guys, hypothetical question: You routinely cart around 6+ passengers and/or equivalent interior cargo. You will be using this vehicle for what it's designed for in dimensions, not as a status mobile. Which one do you pick? (diesel in both examples)

Hmm.. so would diesel fuel provide enough lubrication for this purpose that oil wouldn't need to be burned then?

dandelion wine is supposed to be pretty good though......

Diesel Powered M151 \"Mutt\" Clone Anyone? It looks interesting, but quite underpowered don't you think? Wonder how much it would cost to insure it and be street legal, just for kicks...

It's a kitcar based on the old Bug... I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but I thought I'd toss it out there as something random of interest.

What about the Hummbug?

Actually I might be interested in it for myself as a replacement for my TDI (looking to lower my insurance costs) If you get a chance email me the specs and what you're looking for... I'm not in the actively selling stage yet, but this may motivate me As for my girlfriend.. thanks for the...

I don't think she has a preference. keep in mind this is going to be her first car

My girlfriend's looking for a beater van. She wants to just get something dirt cheap, but of course I don't want to see her in an unsafe piece of junk that will leave her stranded. Any suggestions?

I believe the Echo actually is more expensive to insure... I remember checking one of those charts that shows what risk various cars were rated at (i'm not phrasing this right) and the echo was higher.
