Except my brake lines and masters.  I should probably get on that...

Yes you should.

When did this happen?

Oh, apparently 2008.  I am what they call on top of things.

But on the VW note; I'm a bit miffed that that VW downspec'd the diesel variant of the JSW so badly.  But then again, maybe I should just refer myself back to my own thread about the car market here...

They also did a fine job of uglifying it.  It was actually the first car I went to check out online, but I was quickly deterred.

you need a van...

I am soooooo normally anti-honda, but I'd rock this mugen kit all the way to soccer practice!

[eltristo]

Oooh, no can on the van, man.  Though it is notably cooler than a standard van, I don't think I could fit the monster in the back, and that has always been the only selling point of those beasties.

wasn't the whole point of a not-two-door-vehicle to fit your monster in the back?

I approve of this purchase... did you trade in?

[DRKWNG]

Nice!!  How does it drive?  Surprised you got it at Cutter; were they able to beat Tony's price?   

Any idea what the towing capacity it is? 

[eltristo]

Drive is pretty impressive for a diesel.  Kicks in when I want it to - it still has the DSG, hence launch control!  - but gets 40ish mpg.  I've averaged 41.something so far. 

Cutter had a non-silver car, and they were willing to meet a price that Tony wasn't, namely MSRP.  Amazing how anywhere else MSRP is overpriced, and here it's a low price goal.  Either way, I can't wait to get rid of the Cutter license plate frames.

I still have the BMW, I didn't even ask them to give me a trade-in price on it since I knew it would be pathetic.  I guess I need to sell it now.  boo boo boo.
