Hello all, just got a brand new to me 2002 Passat for $500. All it needs is a wheel bearing and some cleaning up! I have to say I had no idea how well this thing would drive lol.

2000, 2.8, 5-speed Went to the garage Monday morning and the car crank but just a whirring sound. Plugs soaked in gasoline just like when the coolant temp sensor went bad 30k ago. Except now there's no code for cts. I just have the same codes I've had for months and the car has ran good...

Earlier today I was driving through my hometown of Norwalk, CT, and I witnessed what I thought was probably some of the worst driving I have ever seen anywhere. It was so bad, in fact, that it really put me in a sour mood for the next 2 hours, until a friend posted this video on Facebook, and...

So I went to a small show on Sunday for a friend of mine who recently opened a shop and I wanted to support them best I could. I registered to be judged but never thought twice about actually getting anything but to my surprise I was one of the lowest cars there. This was when they were...
