    Wow this place is different. I haven't been on here in a long time and most of you don't remember me who was around when I was more active and the rest never heard of me... not that there was anything to hear

    this is what I had:

    bought it like this
    IMG_0039_5089f92e158d59a4f1a3f55cfb0520402635ee12.jpg

    traded it like this:

    photo122_678a7d3d0d76608d58574289663266774116ce5d.jpg

    this is what I traded for:
    vw_8333b0436de1de0e75c721c7cad663c94db57d6b.jpg

    this is how it sits now:

    P1010328_bce83ac07339c9252facda8592c36a58a809b2a9.jpg


    i traded because i got a new job that required a lot more commuting and the 15 mpg wasn't in the budget so i got the TDI diesel. a month into my job i got a work vehicle that i don't even pay gas for! now i drive my jetta maybe on weekends if i go somewhere... that's it. i have been thinking about a truck again and have started perusing all the 4x4 forums iused to frequent. just wanted to say hi ad see whats going on here. its going to take a while for me to get used to this forum lol.
