I might take you up on that. I own a 2004 V8, Klavierlack over Sonnenbeige (had her for 12 years now!), and I’d love to get my hands on a copy of the service manual.

I still have the Phaeton, but I’ve never owned a Passat W8. I’m not crazy!

I needed to replace the wiring harness when I bought it, the cost of which was covered by the dealer that sold me the car. There have been a few regular wear-and-tear issues over the years, most of which occurred when I still had my extended warranty. The only really major issue I’ve had was back in 2013, when a… Read more
You rang?
I’m fine, thanks. I just don’t post in Oppo as much as I used to. Come to Katie’s any given Saturday and you’re bound to see me. ;-)
Pfft. Driving shoes.
I never knew I needed this. Calling Cadillac to see how fuzzy the footwarmers are in the new CT6.
When I worked at VW (2012-2014), parties like this were the norm. Always outrageous, always over the top, and always tens of thousands of dollars. And all this while my teammates were being laid off left and right. It never felt right. Now I work for an IT firm. Our last team-building activity was serving food at a… Read more
The engine in those Tercels is solid, but the body disintegrates like a piece of stale bread. My mom managed to keep hers for 13 years until rust completely ate the fenders away. That’s why most of them went to the scrapyard by the mid-90s. I wouldn’t call it a shining pillar of dependability.
These FWD beauties packed, what, 93 horsepower?
VW’s US headquarters is in Herndon, Virginia, but it also maintains an office in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Guy had a full-on, freak-out nervous breakdown. Did he not have insurance?
While I was never refused a parking space, I was given quite a bit of crap for driving a Mitsubishi when I worked at VW. Didn’t much matter that my other car was a Phaeton. A couple of Ford-driving coworkers didn’t fare much better.
I had this condition once, about 3 years ago. Awful experience. The first two doctors just told me to put a hot washcloth on it. It wasn’t until I got to the third doctor that I was finally given the antibiotic that made me better. So painful and frustrating.
Sure, on paper it won’t be for whistleblowing. But they will find something to fire you for.
Mine has not been “piece of shit” mechanically. Quite the contrary. The maintenance that it’s needed over the last six years has been expensive, yes, but no more so than an S-Class or 7-Series of the same era.
Thank you, $kay! That’s awfully nice of you.
Yup.
