ooh - you have a TDI! if only they made the passat with that option.... the jetta and golf are too little for me.

i am definite and i've got two others in addtion to tek and kid nyce riding with me.
we should def try and get a caravan or something if we have a few cars going down. i will probably be leaving after work that friday. we'll work out details when it gets closer...

Sounds good..
About Passat - In Europe it is available in Diesel - but in US most american are unhappy with performance...
So u like big cars? I am just happy that I can park my Hatch pretty much anywhere a bike can fit.. Many times I been grabbing a spot that many cars just dove by, knowing they won't fit..
Love that...
2004 should bring out 5.0 V10 diesel is VW Phaeton and VW Tuareg (SUV)..
That engine is AWESOME.. 300 Hp, 555!!!! Torque... U can move an 18 wheeler with that much torque..
VWs are nice.. what do u drive?

I drive a passat 1.8T, manual (of course). i think you saw it at AVB, maybe? i'm going to hit 20,000 mi tommorrow...

well maybe when i get my next car in 10 years i will get a deisel...
i wouldn't consider the passat big, i just felt squished in the jetta.

I cincerely hope u did something to that 1.8T.. That engine is EXTREMELY easily modifiable..
I got mine to 235Hp for $2000...
They have a $3700 kit that brings it to 300 Hp, 300 torque..
I will let u drive my 1.8 T Jetta.(stick). It is on par with e36 M3 and them V8 Mustangs..

i didn't do anything to it. it functions well enough for me as it is. i mean, it is 100x better than the car i previously had and my parents' cars and the rental cars i drive.

enjoy!!

Hey TAs.

I will be going to Sasha in DC and will be driving from Boston. If you all are driving from NYC, perhaps I could meet you all there and I could join your caravan? BTW, I will have spot for one in my car if anyone needs a ride.
