    Has Anyone Been Able to Move Their Appointment Up?

    I have an appointment in early March. I have major maintenance due before then. If it were a different car, I'd likely be less worried about a catastrophic failure between now and then. Second issue is that their predicted mileage estimate falls well short of what it will actually be and I'd...

    Gold MKIV Jetta TDI - Kenosha, WI

    11pm Sunday. On the on-ramp to I-94. I was the guy in the silver Golf that you tried to run off the road by going into my lane as we made the turn. There are 2 lanes there for a reason. One's yours and one's mine. Convenient, huh? :rolleyes:

    R15 Spy Shot

    Not much to go on. Definitely a slimmer waistline. The nose looks wider. Reminds me of the R8. Taillights integrated into the rear wing. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/73231

    Audi Threatens To Leave ALMS

    http://www.paddocktalk.com/news/html/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=39173 And he's right. Team Corvette has been repeatedly screwed, too. If Dyson and Prodrive can't compete, they can either improve or go home.

    Very Cold Weather = My First CEL

    **I found the [probable] cause in the FAQ. Duh... Thanks for the suggestion!** -2F this morning. Let the plugs cycle fully and then cranked it. It took about 5 seconds to start, then ran like crap (naturally). After about 30 seconds, the CEL came on. After the engine smoothed out, I let...

    Opinions of the Eurovan?

    I've been toying with the idea of buying one for some time. The Golf will be paid off in about 2 years and wifey deserves better than the POS Taurus wagon she's driven for the last 2. Anyway, I like the Eurovan and so does she. It wouldn't even be on the radar if it weren't for the weekender...

    American Press Reviews V-10 TDI Touareg

    http://www.thecarconnection.com/index.asp?article=5390&sid=181&n=157 For many folks, it’s the only German they’ll ever know. Volkswagen. The translation is simple: "people’s car." But does that still apply when the car costs as much as 68,000 Euros? Or in this case, the SUV? There’s no...
