There are better ways to make this 30 pages than an endless loop or ARBT material.  :pullover:

We are talking about Jetta, here. Can't you see that?

Hey, at least we're not spending several of the pages talking about how it needs $3,000 worth of brake work :mask:

Yes, and while we're on the subject of brake work, has anyone here ever had Jussi Pussi?

You're my age.  We're getting old.  Plus, now that you're married, your life expectancy has gone way down, since you're more likely to be poisoned by your wife.

Yes. That is unfortunate.

It costs too much to build German cars in Germany, though.

Yeah, except my shift knob is better, and my floormats aren't metal (which is stoopid), my upholstry doesn't look like some 80's party dress, and my steering wheel has one big VW in the middle.

I like that off center VW logo on the steering wheel.

My brother's '96 has it.

Yours is a '97. That's one year.

This has a turbocharger. You should use it.
I'm sure it'd only take minimal modifications.  :mask:

Nick,

Check your tailights for leaks. My brother's Jetta kept blowing out tailights because water pooled in the tailights.

Does the water drain over them or something? My tailights get condensation in them now (drives me insane), but I've never seen water pool in taillights.

I have, in several; different cars.

Nope. Jetta Trek tailights are better. They are tinted.

Tinted lights = less light, which meas they are worse lights   :nutty:

They look better and prevent UV damage to the inside of the tailights.

Unforunately they do their job, informing other drivers of your presence on the road, worse than regular lights.

Always a major design concern.

Oh, okay. I've had condensation in numerous instances now, and have managed to fix it a few times, but thankfully I've never had mini-swimming pools. I couldn't put up with that.
