I like it, wish it had thr 6spd though and cloth seats i hate leather.

I thought about a honda or something of that nature for cheaper but I figured if i had to make payments I wanted to enjoy it and not have to mod it to have decent power. Also being a vw tech it makes sence to drive one too..lol...

I think the head is warped due to the previous owner's inability to torque the head bolts down far enough. It loses coolant and generally runs like shit below 2k.

took my car to work today and had them run the vin to see if there were any recalls...i got paid half hour to checked the fuel line coming out of the tank and add an adapter.

I got paid to fix my own car..... that makes me laugh
