Back when I was young and a used car dealer, I once bought a VW Dasher wagon at the auction for like $80. It was barely running going through the line, and I needed a ride home, l so I bought it. I put a set of ignition points in it the next day and it ran great. I tried to kill the car in a field and couldn't kill it. I wound up using it for running around picking up parts, etc, then sold it to a buddy for $500.
It was like this only brown....VW builds a hell of a car, or they use too anyways! This thing was indestructible, and fun to drive...It had a standard tranny too!!

That’s totally awesome. Definitely some skills I wish I had pursued when I was younger. Haven’t driven my car in 4 months cause I have anxiety over what’s it’s gonna cost to fix. Had myself convinced I fried the ECM till I jump started it yesterday for the first time in 4 months and she behaved normally... I dunno. Still anxious...things cost too much money...lol

Thats what scares me about Volvo's, Mercedes, and the like. I'd love to own one, but parts are hard to find and expensive, and they typically seem less dependable than good old Hondas and Toyotas.
My friend keeps trying to get me to drive his VW...I'm not even sure what model it is, but it's new and he loves it. He's even had a few problems with it though, one of which the "leather" seats cracked within a year and they would not cover them under warranty, plus a few mechanical issues, mostly suspension I believe.

What is going on in the world, it is 61 degrees Fahrenheit and there is weird wet stuff falling from the sky in SoCal - Corona today. Nothing normal about wetness in june.
Apparently you're experiencing the solid phase state of June Gloom.

Been in Southwest Houston when I felt like I was under water in air.
Miguel's is also a Mom and. Pop that grew some fast-food stores. Original restaurant was in Corona in a little place right next to the 91 freeway that opened about 44 years ago, I started eating there in 1988.

After a decade of listening to an intermittently noisy ceiling fan in my bedroom, I completely disassembled the beast today, modified it, and re-assembled, and it is silent!! Plus I installed an AC unit in there today, so I should be in good shape for snoozing!!
Getting a lot done for a hot Monday!!
