    Not in my or my daughters case, just trying to keep the things on the road. My son who was pressed into doing a lot of the work calls them Ja-Heaps.

    I work in an independent shop, we don't see too many new ones, they go to the dealerships. I'm in a VW club ( I do love the old air cooled stuff ) and many members drive the newer cars. They all seem to have check engine light horror stories. The diesel guys get picked on a lot! LOL

    I think her's is a 2016, 70 thousand miles. It's left her stranded several times.

    All German cars are over complicated for complexity sake, My Daughters VW New Beetle had the check engine light on more than it was off. I'll also say that her current Jeep Cherokee has been an electrical nightmare. And I'll add I'm an ex VW and Jeep owner myself. Lessons learned. JEEP = Just Emptied Every Pocket.

    I'm in the auto repair business and know what I see every day. VW parts prices are astronomical and check engine lights are a way of life. A friend of mine even has a "das normal" check engine light bumper sticker on his. Asian cars are far more more economical. Well, the name Ford speaks volumes here.

    It's not the down stroke, VW's are expensive to service, and unfortunately they require a lot of it.

    Mines on order, should have it Monday the 10'th.

    Sadly most people can't afford to keep a VW running. Maybe the color choice thing will turn around.

    Does anyone else find it funny that in the effort to make cars more crash worthy they made cars harder to drive without crashing them? There is a reason for all of the backup sensors, rear view cameras and lane change radar warnings on new cars, you can't see out of the darn things.

    50 shades of grey is more than a girl porn book title, it describes the new car dealers lots! I'm old enough to remember the 50's Easter egg colors, and miss them. Going to an old car show today is a visual treat styling and color wise.
  12. Craig Irwin
    Yes! I really miss 2 door cars, if you want one today your choice is the Challenger, Mustang or Camaro. Way out of the price range of most buyers, and not the most practicable family cars, besides being to low for us old farts to get in and out of. And what ever happened to station wagons?
  13. Craig Irwin
    Hardtops (true pillarless hardtops), bench seats, ROOM to stretch out in, being able to see out of the @#$%^ things, column shifters, doors that didn't lock themselves, a lack of unnecessary electronics, and good styling.
  14. Craig Irwin
    Yes It is!

    I need dates and location if it has changed. Thanks.
  16. Craig Irwin
    Thanks! I have sent a response, I need to know how to send payment.

    He may be at the Lafayette Indiana show this Saturday.

    So Kevin, am I getting anywhere the top of the list?

    X 2, for this reason alone I like the AMT kit.
  22. Craig Irwin
    X2 and add those dog catcher and covered wagon type things to your list.
  23. Craig Irwin
    Cincinnati Challenge is April 7'th at the Clermont County Fairgrounds, theme is 100 years of Ford trucks.

    My quote was from "That 70's show" TV show, it was a joke.
  25. Craig Irwin
    I guess I'm the odd man here, I'd like the ElCamino (Spanish for "The Camino"if anyone remembers that line) but have no interest in the bike.
