it's blown up, basically...the p.o. ran it out of oil somehow.

It's a slushbox, but the price may make up for it...I'll update after I go look at it...unless the big snow storm keeps me from getting there

Yeah it's pretty crappy in Perrysburg, 795 is still not plowed and driving to BG for class today was horrible.

**blue02gls** · 01-11-2011 08:19 PM

Shoot son, reminds me of my buddy's house. He lives out in the country and every winter his driveway piles up with drifting snow which in turn causes me to get stuck.

**vegamotion** · 01-12-2011 11:02 AM

toledo pd wasnt to happy with me last night!!! i figured since the walmart over on glendale closes early, id take the audi out there for some awd fun, well apparently the plow drivers didnt like seeing me having fun cause the popo showed up and rushed me out lol, i was about to go down to fremont pike and tear **** up down that way, but just went home

**Citizen_Erased** · 01-12-2011 01:29 PM

Lol, there's a school down my road that has a hugeeeee parking lot devoid of streetlights that is perfect to rip up during snow. During the storm last night I went there and slid alllllll over, thanks to my bald a$$ rear tires.

Hopefully I'll be getting some Sumitomo's in the future

Thats why you wait till the plow truck is gone an theres the perfect smooth sheet of snow they couldn't get that drifts even better than the deep powder!

Ha i know what thats like i manged to get stuck twice and spin my way out of it yesterday trying to get up the drive. Stupid apartment maintenance guys didn't plow like they are supposed to.

**tmb077** · 01-14-2011 01:00 PM

friday afternoon bump....nothing to report on the passat yet. still trying to make time to get over there. two kids=too much crap going on...

**Ickey** · 01-14-2011 06:05 PM

yea u will this weekend hopefully. Anyhow not doing much of a damn thing this weekend working part of saturday and not sure if i am gonna go work on my car after work prolly will be something to do anyhow.

**Ickey** · 01-15-2011 01:01 PM

so u go look at it or what tmb ? some guy in toledo has a decent 4dr jetta aba for sale too.

Pshhhh tell them that Passats are priority number one.

**Ickey** · 01-15-2011 09:03 PM

yea priority parts cars lol ...

**tmb077** · 01-17-2011 11:06 AM

Upon further review...the passat just isn't my flavor, a nice car and I like the idea of a bigger 4 door for the kids and all, but the auto trans killed it for me. I'm back leaning more towards a 5spd jetta...something I can have a little fun with...so, the search continues for a 5spd jetta....

**Citizen_Erased** · 01-17-2011 12:27 PM

Auto tranny=

What are you looking for? A Mk.4 Jetta?

**tmb077** · 01-17-2011 01:48 PM

yeah, MK4 preferrably...that way I can slap the kids' seats in it with the tether deals and have no worries...that and I have a set of 17" wheels in the garage with the right bolt pattern that the wifey didn't like on the beetle, drop springs, and an aftermarket front bumper cover all at immediate disposal...plus, if I find a 2.slo 5spd, it's stupid simple to work on...

**Citizen_Erased** · 01-17-2011 06:55 PM

I'll keep an eye out for any Jetta's

**vegamotion** · 01-18-2011 02:24 AM

any1 in toledo area familiar with the 1.8t? my car is acting up like a mofo n im getting pretty frustrated, its starts, idles and revs up just fine but misses and pops and backfires when driving down the road, idk, im thinking the fuel filter is clogged, audiworld says it should be changed every 20k miles so idk, perhaps it should just die in a fire.

sounds like a mass air flow problem...unhook it and see if it runs better...is the CEL on?

**Citizen_Erased** · 01-18-2011 10:36 AM

Sorry dude, can't say I'm familiar with the 1.8t but I hope you figure it out

**tmb077** · 01-19-2011 11:01 AM

the beetle is in the shop today hooked to the VAG-COM...got a whopping 300 miles out of the last tank of fuel...

**tmb077** · 01-19-2011 03:29 PM

Did you leave it on the back of the toilet?

Idk, but I think it's time for a NW Ohio cruise to Ft. Wayne so we can find this mofo then race him for pinks. That way no one loses any cash, except for gas, and you get off with a new car. Hopefully someone around here has a VrT that pushes 21psi or a Honda with a B swap.

**vegamotion** · 01-20-2011 01:04 PM
