  1. Rouge is a decent enough product.
  2. Durango is about the only good news here....
  3. They are still making up ground to where they were pre dieselgate...and selling things at bottom dollar.
  4. Fuel prices going up and a general lack of good paying jobs for College graduates is probably fueling the rise of the Civic.
  5. Not fleeting seems to be hurting them badly....
  6. They cannot take it back in its damaged state without incurring a huge loss. No one has any equity in it at the moment...it is a liability...for wherever he would trade it in, his insurance Company, Dingo himself, and also for anyone who drives it or rides in it.
  7. We see how the Diesel thing has worked out a few years alter....I would still like a Colorado diesel.
  8. Makes sense, I rarely trade in cars...I usually run them until they die or are no longer worth fixing.
  9. Absolutely hell yes...a great American city!
  10. Far enough....I must be really ancient because I like the current model.
  11. Hope it isn't too windy riding that broom back to the west coast.... I think that he should at least repair it...otherwise he might find himself in real trouble on a lease return, and be past his insurance statute of limitation for a repair. Also, would not want a wire from the harness shorting out as I went to pull out in traffic with my kids in the car...just sayin...and I could never leave something like that in a car I knew someone else would drive...
  12. Yes, a huge thanks for keeping this place alive and running...
  13. Pulling things out of ones arse (thoughts, claims,arguments, thoughts on cars in general) has a long proud history here. I really like the rationality and thoughtfulness of our current group of posters. That being said, i agree....no need to have flames shoot out the back.
  14. Getting rid of it at this point would seem wise. The GTI is best in its most elemental form anyways...manual transmission, no sunroof, tartan plaid cloth seats....
  15. I prefer to think of him as an adult in the room. It's all in the negotiation....
  16. Correction...in his corner fo the world it is only 6000 years old....and Adam shared Eden with dinosaurs. All of the great fossil fuel was made during Noah's flood...got to pay Adam and his three sons respect somehow...might as well burn the remnants of a worldwide flood... Again, quoted for truth! tucker was a fantastic car and also ahead of its time... Electrics are a natural for an Urban environment...as society becomes more urban, I think this will be what pushes EV's. Or come up with some original thinking or original argumentation. You are much brighter/more intellectually capable than your posts on this subject would tend to indicate.
  17. Agreed... ...and failing badly at that task... Quoted for absolute truth....! If I didn't love you like a brother, I would actually down vote this...it is a nice looking car!
  18. Many of the classics will be rebuilt as they have high resale value and minimal electronics-you might be able to let them dry out well, change the fluids, and get them actually running fairly easily. Interiors will be replaced, cars will ahve a salvage title but 85 percent of those cars will survive. the cars that don't will be something like a 6 cyl 65 Mustang coupe that will donate parts to rebuilding a nice 65 V8 convertible somewhere. Modern cars whole different story, electronics can write off a car in a hurry. Not to mention more unique upholstery pieces that would ahve to be purchased at OEM prices, etc. Florida will be a more complicated issue as flood cars often get a non rebuild-able title status which pretty much condemns the car. You can "wash' flood cars through Kentucky but if Florida ever catches you driving a non repairable Florida car with a washed title on their highways they will impound the car and crush it with no restitution to the owner. We had a 65 corvette convertible a few years back here in Columbus that got crushed for having a modified Vin...it does happen that vintage cars get caught in legal battles they do not win.
  19. 144 pages listed under classics, and multiple flood victims on each page...
  20. https://www.copart.com/lot/42083747 https://www.copart.com/lot/41385807 https://www.copart.com/lot/43213017
  21. Also, if you want to get really depressed, go to the Copart Website and look at all of the vehicles marked "flood damage" near places like Houston...especially those in the section marked "Classics" https://www.copart.com/lot/40000757 https://www.copart.com/lot/39001317 https://www.copart.com/lot/41370017
  22. Slacker...I put 700 mile tanks on my TDI Jetta. My R line Beetle, less so...but since it ahs the GTI power train...I am enjoying actual power and the DSG a bit. Glad you are ok...good luck with whatever you decide. It may indeed be a Total. My daughter works in insurance claims and it is amazing how little it takes to total a modern car.
  23. Quoted for absolute ungodly truth of the statement. I despise Ford and Lincoln, but even I will have to admit they ahve a winner on their hands with the new Navi.
