Was turning left onto the W. Mason frontage road by the west side Walmart to go towards Festival. Had a red light. Stopped till it turned green. Didn't see anyone coming, thought I had a green arrow (I didn't) and started to turn, looked to my right to make sure no one was running the red and as I was looking back straight I heard the horn and the screeching tires of the guy in the Mustang that hit me. He hit the front right side of the car and basically pushed it all to the drivers side. I'm lucky that i wasn't facing him more or I probably would have felt more of an impact... My guess is he was going way faster than the 25-30 mph speed limit as his car went through the front end of mine and ended up fully on the curb on the corner of the intersection and I did not see him when I first initiated the turn. I've definitely been taking more care of watching for people since this though!

And yes, kudos to progressive for working quickly and getting me the payment in an orderly fashion

I'll be there buddy, but unfortunately I have an obligation that morning so I'm not sure when I'll be there, otherwise I'd offer to drive again. See ya there!

I had to share.
I found this picture hilarious

[TMhackVW]

That's pretty good Eric! I wonder how he got the tire with the boot on it off though, don't they cover the lugs?

That's a good question. I didn't even think of that

Any of you fine folks with a B5 Passat need a Bentley manual I have one that I no longer need since I wrecked the wagon. Basically new, only used it a couple times. Only asking $50, let me know.

A great place to meet some locals would have been @ Dubs in The Valley, but you missed it by 2 weeks.

We might try having a fall cruise up here in Door County, otherwise you could join the Kettle Cruise in SE WI.http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...ruise-interest

Or make a post in the Fox Cities thread.http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...s-dubbers!!!!!

Wrecked the Passat tonight, pretty sure it's gonna be totaled.
At least myself and the other driver were ok. Now I just need to find the next car I want to get into before the insurance money comes in.

Glad you're ok, still got the roof rack?

Well guys, sold the Jetta in the beginning of the summer and just picked this up the other week.

Good choice, I really miss rwd coupes. I do have room for a third car now, we just bought a house! I'll be moving in a couple of weeks.

Hey, you're still alive

How have you been? And the little one? I'd imagine that's what is keeping you busy

I still have the crossbars. I'll let em go pretty cheap. They're home made but they work just fine. PM if you're interested man!

[3L3M3NT]

Figured I'd give you guys a heads up about a GTG going on at our shop on Oct. 6th starting at 9AM.

It's more so geared toward the TDI side of things, but everyone is welcome to attend.

A Malone Dealer will be there loading tunes if anyone is interested. He does more than TDI's. http://malonetuning.com/

There will be some wrenching going on, along with some grilling, and some bsing.

Should be a good time, so if you're free make the trip up

[TMhackVW]

Anyone have a 16v head laying around. My timing belt tensioner loosened up on me and visibly bent 6 valves and at least tapped the rest of them. Let me know, thanks!

[3L3M3NT]

Well it's been a while, but I figured I'd see if there is anyone interested in doing the cruise around Door County this spring?

Also, I saw this and had to post it. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram...200211747.html

I would say yes, but I don't think I have a free weekend until July.

Yeah, I was thinking of having it the middle of May, so that won't fit into your busy schedule. lol

[TMhackVW]

Well, I'll keep it in mind in case something opens up! The GTI is running great after the engine bay clean-up and the new head.

[3L3M3NT]

Well, I made it official and created a Door County cruise thread. It will be on the 18th of May.
