Conrad,how far south did you come?
Hope you had a great time with your son. Anytime you ride south you're welcome to give me a holler.
Sorry about your fog light lens, did you price it yet?$163.75 + tax. Ouch!!!! I'm gonna see what I can find for protection, cheap insurance I wish I had done before the broken light..... I guess I need to check the oil, bad on me. I'll let you know in about 5 minutes. If it ever gets to -13 around here it's a sure sign the ice age is starting, on the East side of the state it's a sure bet to get that cold and colder so I'll be doing the same as you, I really do want this car to last me 20 years.
I took my first long trip with the Jetta on Sunday. Drove down to southern Illinois and back. 45 mpg down and 37 on the way back. The wind started up on the way back and we were driving right into it. I was sweating it a bit on the way back. I missed the exit for diesel and I wanted to wait for the next one. My range read ZERO as the nav system told me that my exit was coming up. I pumped 13.9 gals into the 14.5 gal tank.
Speaking of diesel. In reading at the TDI forums they all recommend staying away from biodiesel in concentrations any higher than 5%. They make it sound like it's hard to find non bio around. I had no problems.
Pants too tight? You know that went out in the 70's unless you are a woman or one of the "new" generation of confused young males.
I have just a hair under 1k miles and the oil looks fine too.I put some tape on it, frugal fix works like a charm
Still loving the Jetta! One thing that I don't like is the fob with the stupid switchblade key. While in my pocket the button keeps getting pressed and the key pops out in my pocket.
Is that a VW fob in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Why yes it is and I am.

Did you know that a VW fob works as a pick up tool? Chicks dig a VWMy wife was hit on by a one of them long haired stripper dudes, my only question was why she was in a location to meet him. She was quite secretive
We rode down to Clearwater Beach today(250mi round trip, back roads) and got about 42mpg. Haven't spent any time waxing or washing it unless you count that rainstorm we had about a week ago..
I drove out to the mountains today in my Prius and got about 52mpg. Haven't spent any time waxing or washing it unless you count that rainstorm we had about a week ago..If ya think a dead fob battery is bad
