I'll check them out... I'd like binaries, but there are only a couple of
them that I really wanted (electronics schematics, and old radio pictures.)

Well that's a terrible thing to say here...
but, I'm still running 93 and 96 Camry commuters and my final VW (the 79 4
door with GTI transplants) sold for enough to cover all I had into it
(including paint, but nothin for my restoration labor) and I am currently
VWless myself and intend to stay that way. Unless something comes along
REALLY nice and stupidly cheap. They eat up a lot of time (not even
counting driving). : )

Bingo!!!!!

I think we have a winner!!!!!!!

I am so happy with my 7 year old Toyota , That so far has needed only
front pads, and rotors.

Once.

Cabin filter, once,

And Tires. pretty soon.

And oil changes ,

That I splurged on a set of plugs.

last fall.


Now I worry about mowing the lawn .

Not rebuilding the car and wondering if it will get here,

Or will I fall through the floor and run myself over.


my life is changed forever.


I aint going back.

Unless they offer a Diesel Rabbit for $ 14, 000

And they wont.
