For real. It won't be in its prime til 200k. Atleast.

It's work. You just have to try. Alot of the stuff I've had to do with my Golf, I put off, fretting about how I didn't think I'd be able to do it correctly. Then, I finally did it and it seemed like child's play after that. As long as you have the tools you need and a good tear-down sheet to go by, you shouldn't have any issues. The most important thing I've become aware of is to make sure every bolt is torqued correctly. Just be patient, make a day of it.... and perhaps turn your stereo on and be calm. Have a beer if you must.

You've sure had an interesting selection of cars over the years.

Mmmm. I wouldn't have minded picking that up.

It's big and beautiful? I've always liked that generation of Benz's.

I'm a fan.

One virtue of the Cobalt was it's stellar gas mileage. I always averaged in the upper 30's with a high of 42. Lowest ever was right around 28, with lead footed driving. Considering it was a non-XFE automatic, thats pretty good. The EPA's rating? 21 city, 29 highway, and 24 combined. Yeah, I don't think so. With my Jetta, I always averaged between 28 and 30, never higher, never any lower. It was the most consistant car I've had with gas mileage. The EPA's rating? 19 city, 26 highway, and 22 combined.

Clicky. This one's got a little surprise.

This is perfect for you: Clicky.

I thought this thing was supposed to be a sort of mini-ute type of thing. Those specs are pretty sporty... It's as if it was designed to fool you, which isn't much of a surprise when studying the messy design. Like the author said, you really can't wrap your head around this one.

I've downgraded, and upgraded. No longer with 32 inches of goodness. But I'm up to 1980x1080 resolution.... and back to Hong Kong. It's just so pretty.

I like the idea of a revised rail service throughout. In my area, we have a relatively high number of old rail roads and most of them are either not being used, or are being removed. Taking advantage of such would certainly add a touch of nostalgia, coherent with the historic nature of local towns. Not only that, it would give us some form of public transit. It's currently sorely lacking, most notably from town to town. We have no choice but to drive. Parking, and the prices thereof, are the least of our worries.

VW x 1000.

I'm seeing more and more Fieros lately.

Mk6 VW GTI. It's easily the best handling FWD car I've personally driven and the aftermarket for VW's is pretty immense. Granted, it is a hatchback and I never pegged you as a hatchback sort of guy. The oil pan and intake gasket should be a relatively easy fix. Gaskets are cheap and its not like you're replacing a head gasket, so you don't have to tear much of the motor apart, everything is pretty much on top (or bottom) without many parts in the way. Same with the tie rod. That one, you just want to make sure to get it aligned afterwords.

Seems to have a randomly-occurring intermittent misfire. Coil pack, maybe?

The bad:

An addition has been made to our already overstuffed driveway.

There's random rust spots, but nothing major that I saw. Underbody looked cleaned. It does, indeed, have the 3800. Seems to run pretty good and its recently inspected. Interior is very clean, the old lady even left two pairs of sunglasses in the armrest. If everything goes as planned, we will probably pick it up tomorrow. I'd like to get it for around $1500 or $1600 "out the door" but its not bad price as is. Our other option was a Pontiac 6000 LE with 80k original miles with absolutely no rust for $1900, but it sold hours before we stopped at the dealership. On a similar note, we will also be looking for a decent Sunfire replacement. It's started to deteriorate to the point where driving it seems like a death wish and it's really not worth putting any more money into.

Pictures say it all but this. My boyfriend is looking for a car and we found this.

Oh.... . You won't regret it.

I don't need it. I'm happy with my 32 inches of goodness, instead. Sure, it's only 1360x768, but its huge!

I needed some Fahrvergnügen.
