So I thought I would share with everybody my impressions of my brothers car. But first with the backstory. 2001 VW Jetta with the alh ve pump tdi engine originally equipped with the 4 speed shit box automatic transmission. Bought the car from our uncle with 190k on the clock and a bad...

Before I was about to head out today, I decided to check my oil and other things. While checking the oil I noticed that the level was too high.

Having been talking to another member, we were wondering if any other members in the area would be interested in starting a monthly meet. Want to see how many will be willing to come. Southern IN dubbers and anyone willing to drive would be welcome. Might try and get a spot in Louisville, but...

So, after dropping off some paper in the V.P. of operations office at work, I run into the shipping manager who asks if I've seen my car. Dumbfounded and expecting the worst, I walk outside to find this: Best I can tell the most logical explanation is a tractor-trailer kicked a rock up...
