Noob Intro

Hey fellas, been stalking for a while but decided to post... bought my '97, 2.0 5-sp, 89K miles at the end of September 2007, and quickly logged 20K miles over the next 8 months. Have averaged 34 mpg, with a best ever over 3800 miles of 37.5 from NY to Key West and back. I've always loved the air cooled VW's, and this is the first water-cooled I've had experience with... I'm happy to say when I move up to a new TDI, this MKIII won't be going ANYWHERE. Only alterations I've made were a new driver's side lock cylinder (typical), new FREE seats, fore and aft from a junkyard to replace collapsed front buckets, and VW rims/ tires ( the 3 hubcaps the car had when I bought it drove me up a wall.) After spending 10 years loving big, loud, American V8s, I've had an awakening. A VW will always sit in my driveway, and this car rocks my world.
