Get a second opinion

Tue, 13 June 2017 22:51

I did that three years ago. It cost me $400. I put a full tank of unleaded in, few minutes later it bucks and misses repeatedly and dies. VW dealer tows it in, drains the fuel, replaces a fuel filter, fuel pump was ok (but not a 10k part) and I was on the road 4 hours later.

I mean, a dang engine costs $10k, right?

What kind of car are we talking?

This dreams in sight, you've got to admit it. At this point in time it's clear. The future looks bright, on that train all graphite and glitter. Undersea by rail, ninety minutes from New York to Paris. Well by seventy-six we'll be A-O-K.
