I worked on this car last weekend... Let me just say that it runs, drives, and shifts better than most other VR6s I've been in with 1/4 the miles.
It shifts SOOO nicely - better than my car which has 1/2 the miles and on it's 2'nd tranny. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

got places to go people to see http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif over a normal weekend goin up to seattle i drive like almost 350+ miles lol...the average driver is like 10k a year ive been driving since 17...ive driven over 125k easy
last fill up i think i got 335 on 12 gallons of gas...almost 28mpg so that was kinda cool i drove on the freeway a couple times at 55mph in CC...so i kinda cheated but end result was good
My neighbor's VR has over 200k on it, original everything including the clutch! She is a soccer mom that drives like a grandma though.
Their passat didn't make it to 100k before the 30v grenaded.
passed 99k on xmas i cant believe how low some of the mileages are...cars were made to be driven...not sit around and look pretty. i think its a crime to just have a car sit around...what good is it then?
oh well. if i calculate all the miles i would have put on my car but was driving something else cause my car was broken id be well over 120k miles..pretty sure my parents dont like the fact that i put almost as many miles on their cars as they do.

Well, in my defense....I did drive the car a lot before I got a new job. The job allows me to take public transportation and even walk on nice days. I look forward to every weekend just knowing that I can drive my car....
