Ran the GSW through the carwash and watched in horror in the rearview mirror as water poured in through the hatchback/window. Took it in to the dealer I purchased it from and told them I thought it was a window seal because the hatch seal looked intact and oh by the way the trim around the...

I am a manual transmission enthusiast and now have a GSW SE with DSG. I love actually "driving" my car. I like to drive assertively. I am hoping to recreate a manual driving experience as best I can since I was unable to locate a 6sp. manual in my price range and geographic area. I have a few...

A friend from work is in search of an air-cooled Westphalia. 1980-1985. He is particularly interested in 1981. Original interior if possible. He is willing to go to WA, OR or even CA for the right vehicle at a fair price. Anyone know of someone looking to free up some space in their garage or...

Hey all, I'm looking for some 16" steelies to mount snow tires on for the Beetle. Anyone in the PDX area (or within an hours drive or so), have some they want to part with? Thanks- Keli

Alright friends and neighbors! Everyone knows a good GTG requires food too. Please let us know what you can bring. Don't forget things like paper goods and plates/bowls/utensils. Also coolers with ice and water are always welcome! Anyone have extra pop-ups and tables/chairs? Be sure to put...

Pacific Northwest gtg? I'm starting to get the heebie jeebie Spring Fever.:eek: I wish I could host, but I've just moved into a new (quiet) neighborhood and having a gtg might just get me temporarily blacklisted. Anyone up for hosting a gtg in April? Purely social would be just fine too...

Well, I've finally convinced my mom to move over to the darkside! Perhaps borrowing the Jetta a couple of times for trips up to the Olympic Peninsula helped in showing her that a tdi can be fun and economical at the same time. Her Celica ('91) finally bit the dust so now she has no excuse...

I couldn't keep it to myself any longer.:D I just got a New Beetle. Right now it's at Justin's so he can fix some minor issues (like a new timing belt). I'm really excited to have added to the tdi family. The Subaru is on it's last legs, so it has now officially become the fishing truck...

Anyone interested in caravanning to Lake Stevens? I figure I'll leave the PDX area around 6 or 7am. Possibly meet at the Safeway at Hayden Island? Then hook up with the Tacoma contingent at the biofuel station in Fife. Sound like a plan? Who wants to join me? And no, I still don't have a...

I don't know anything about this vehicle. But it looks like a cool camper! http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/car/343785084.html -Keli

Just got a couple of big cracks in the windshield today. It looks like I had a small rock chip on the edge that reacted poorly to the hot weather we've been having. What shop would you recommend to replace it? Looking for someone with VW experience and can deal with an insurance claim...

So I took a quick road trip from PDX to the Rogue Valley this weekend. Left Sat. morning with about a half tank of bio. My intention was to try to find at least one of the biodiesel stations I had heard about that are outside the Metro area. First stop: Aurora. Pull into the station and see...

Came across this ad in craigslist: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/car/219025236.html As the days have passed, this guy has dropped the price and revealed more info. It might be a good deal. Would want a local to check it out though first. LaGrande is about a 4 hr. drive from Portland...
