If you loved that car so much then buy another one. They're sooooooooo cheap. Too bad they've all rusted away

I tried to but i could find one that was in good condition. was actaully looking for a TDI but finding a good TDI is like finding a unicorn.

Man, you make me miss my old 98 Jetta. And those are some awesome numbers to pull out of the ABA without forced induction. I used to troll these forums years ago and now that an R53 is back in my near future i hope to spend more time here. The old POS
