Well look to the bright side, then. The Audi took premium fuel, right? What kind of mpg was it getting, again?

Well there you go, then. I'd much rather suffer the consequences of questionable suspension mods for the sake of ground clearance than to run out of gas 30 miles into the woods.

Go find a BLUETEC badge for the Jet. Blueberry VTEC!

I just added 20hp to the Jet by fixing a vacuum leak to the fuel pressure regulator.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I bottomed out the front of the Jet pretty hard today. Damn invisible rocks!
Anyway, it sucks because now there is an insane vibration at 3,000rpm. I broke/bent something. Motor mount, subframe, or exhaust I'm guessing.

Oops. So far all the offroad damage to the Aveo has been cosmetic.

Bad day for off-roading, eh?

I found out what I damaged.
The center crossmember is bent way up and the exhaust is resting on top of it.
So, the buzzing is just more of an annoyance than anything.

That car is not built for that sort of thing.

Of course it is.  Slap a Touareg badge on the back and he'll be halfway towards conquering the Rubicon trail.

What are Jettas built for, if not 4x4 trails?

He'll also have more of a Touareg than Trep ever will.

I should call it the "Jettareg"

Better yet, Tourett's.

He'll also have more of a Touareg than Trep ever will.

Ouch.....

Sane, on-road driving.

You are capable of neither.

NACar, you need to pick up one of these.  I poached this photo from a thread on mtbr.com.  It's a Jetta TDI that's chipped and has bigger injectors.  The best part is that he has a 1.5" lift on there.  Forty-two mpg and damn good ground clearance!

If I had $5000 to blow, I'd get a MKIV TDI Golf and the 2" metalnerd lift kit... OR, maybe a VR6.

My Ranger could go way farther off road than your little Mexican econobox.

What makes your Ranger any better than the B2300 that I rented and couldn't get up a little gravel hill?
