NQ, though I don't have a bug and likely won't again (an 05 BMW 330CI with a malfunctioning convertible top keeps me occupied) I'll stay on this list just to stay in touch. I'll try to thank you all again from time to time for welcoming me into the VW community 20+ years ago. I was only able to honor my father in law by keeping his bug in good shape because of you guys. Just not ready to let that part of my life go even though I don't have a bug.
