[MBZ] AAA

After nearly 30 years of driving, after the blown up diff fiasco I finally took the plunge and signed up for the top level AAA membership which includes 5 tows per year, one of which can be 200 miles, rest are 100 miles. I added my wife on as well for a total of 10.

Re: [MBZ] Let the Martha'ing Begin!

Had to move some furniture over to the house from the MIL’s this morning, which took pretty much all morning. Got home and installed the new right rear taillight lens and seal. Easy peasey. Rolled the car out of the garage and ran it long enough to turn around and pull into the garage nose

Re: [MBZ] Please don't waist my time

Well, if the evapectomy is done, that should add $3000 or so to the value. At a stealer, the evapectomy would probably run close to his selling price, and then the monkey would probably screw up some things in assembly. (ACC, wiring,... ) the waist vs waste could be autocorrect gone wild.

A straight pipe conversion is common on the Gen 3 Jetta. I'm not willing to invest that kind of money in a heap like mine. ;) I had a Citation one summer. I got it for free for having done a "tune up" (new plugs) on it some time earlier. Mine was like an '82 or '83, had a terrible 3spd slushbox

Re: [MBZ] OT: The Jetta is exhausting

My Citation had a pellet filled catalyst, which was a pretty effective muffler. When the muffler disappeared (I loaned the car to my brother for a day, he gave it back with the parking brake on and the muffler knocked off), it wasn't objectionably loud, so I paid a muffler shop $12 + 8

That’s a score! I did the same when my rear bumper on the 2002 4Runner rusted through. I went on line and some dealer in Arkansas had one in stock and wanted to get rid of it. I think I paid $280 for the 3-piece bumper. I’m going to look for some turn signal lenses. Jon > On Dec 2, 2016,
