40-page thread about a Jetta

[Eye of the Tiger]

My downpipe back 3" exhaust was $150, I think.

I provided the muffler.

Are you going to install a ric0rz muffler?

Maybe I'll have them install a Flowmaster... +

I put a Flowmaster on a Civic once, and it sounded nice until you revved it above 2k, then it sounded like a dirt bike.

VW Jetta's are ghey and unreliable Kraut garbage. Gimme a Toyota Corolla anyday which looks soooooooooooooo much better too!

I wish I got a Corolla instead

My first car was almost a 1998 Corolla.  I'm not sure how I'd be doing, mentally, if I had actually purchased it.

You would have moved to Canukistan and met a boy named Trep, to whom you would marry as soon as he was of legal age.

I think it's better that I didn't get it then.

That and can you imagine me going to a racetrack in a Corolla?  It's bad enough I have an automatic.  It would be worse if that auto was a 3 speed and the rear axle was a solid beam design.

Gay people drive Jettas. My gay sociology prof last semester drives one.

It has 127k, and most of it seems to be in good order. Purchased for one 1990 Audi V8Q and $950.  I got the seller to knock off $350 because the clutch slips. Worst case I pay $400 for a clutch replacement - best case is the self-adjusting cable just needs some manual adjustment.

Wait so you had to pay them and give up the V8Q for the Jetta?

I installed the shift knob this morning. I love it. Shifting is fun, even though the throws are still long.

A '97 Jetta is worth what... $2000-$3000?
On the other hand, a '90 V8Q that needs $3415 in repairs is worth negative money to most people.

$3415, my ass.

$3415, my ass.

For true. And that was JUST the brakes.

For that money, you could have used a car shipping service to ship it to and from my house ($2000) I could have bought the parts ($800 tops) and you could have paid me $615 for my trouble.

How about $950 and I get a Jetta that will pass inspection after $150 of exhaust work.

[280Z Turbo]

Inspections FTL.

We may have a terrible economy, an ineffective govenor, nasty weather, a Canadian border, the worst football team in the NFL, and the hellhole of a city known as Detroit, but we don't have inspections!

Not so much on a 4-cylinder - unless if it has a resonator to take out some of the buzz. They sound great on most V6's and all V8's of course. I had a Flowmaster on the Duster, and that sounded brilliant - if perhaps a bit out of place on such a POS-looking car.

Well, fuck me sideways. That might be the first time I've ever done that!

You're still an idiot.
