Worst Build Ever... Jetta

There really isn't any forum like tacomaworld.no one has the traffic like here. I'm a member on tlplanet.com duallyscene.com and fjcruiserforums.com and all have almost zero traffic.it sucks bad

 

Tis, but not engaged with 4X4

 

my old car before the taco

 

Oooh, a clean, nice, and dropped version of my car (but with a sun roof!)...
<-- root beer

 

What to do....
Know anyone with access to a lot of class 3/NFA stuff?

 

arround here all the snotty college girls drive jettas...my sister had a late 90's passat that was a pile of garbage...not a fan....hence my sig quote

 

It isn't bad enough to not sell for $$$.

Yep, it actually was a girls car, (I got it from a repair shop as a loaner vehicle) when I opened up the dash and found 12 pony tail rubber band things in it. Thankfully no glitter or other junk, (except over a dollar in change in the backseat! lol)

and

but I think it is the best looking Jetta (still boxy and masculine--I mean it is in the Fast and the Furious)

 

I had a '92 GTI and a '99 Jetta before getting my truck. They both did pretty good in snow. Especially with snow tires. I wish I could have the Jetta and my Taco.





I made both of these earn it!

 

I never said they didn't...

I do like the Jetta but would a lot more if I lived in Southern Utah again or a place with a lot less snow... but 30+ highway mpgs are nice

 

He lives in Alaska... he can only use 2WD for about 2 weeks

 

this

I don't mind cruising in it since I upgraded the sound, lighting, and iPod has 26 days of music on it, and 30+ mpgs.

 

mk4, mines the last of the Mk3

That sucks though, I have studs and they are loud but I got used to that being an Alaskan!

 

sell and get a Corolla or the FR-S when it comes out, 3 year battery life isn't unheard of up here, my power locks have long since broken/been disabled by me, as well as my alarm, but my water pump and trunk release still work!
I doubt I will buy another fwd car again.

how many miles? mine just hit 130k and had the tranny swapped at ~115k and new clutch at same time.

 

same, can't figure from where though, not a lot but still.

 

Every VW I have come into contact with has been just like this... , and a couple were owned by some friends and family that knew how to work on cars, or were mechanics, and they still couldn't fix the VW issues. My experience, and opinion, not fact; since VW is one of the largest, and may soon be the largest auto manufacture, but I would sell it. But I am very very jaded towards VW in general, same way I am jaded against Ford and Saturn.




Just my .02

 

I miss my Jetta(s). Sold one, traded one, totaled one. My favorite was a '93 with a 16v DOHC and tricked out 5 spd. Thats the one I sold. The one I wrecked did 3 full rolls, one end over end and one cartwheel (all in the same wreck) roof was like this / / but worse. Put 2 spare tires on it, rolled it back onto its wheels and drove it home. The handled great in the snow, not so great going 80 and doing an extreme turn to keep from hitting someone (pedestian walking in the street). No pics unfortunately.

 

I would like to have a 16V, right now I am running front studs and unstudded rear so I drift pretty good, but wow hope I don't do that!

 

UPDATE!

Totaled as of 3/21/12

On the way to the college library I got rear ended by a 95 Ford Explorer... Ouch, I would guess he was going 20-25 mph (VW tech who owns an Explorer agreed FWIW)








And the Explorer...




Drivers rear door got squeezed so I am certain it is totalled... Kinda sad

Unibody Jetta-0 Ford Explorer-1

 

That'll buff out.
