Time spend on your car.

Re: Time spend on your car. (supergti)

it completely reflects my personality. it's ugly, it isn't fast, but um... it turns good and is a pain in the ass?

I guess nobody in the mood for telling anything.

Re: Time spend on your car. (supergti)

Well, nobody who takes the trouble to be on this forum really considers their car "just transportation"
I tend to spend as much time as it takes, and as little money as is reasonable, to keep my cars in perfect running order. In other words: lots of time, and now that I am not so poor as I used to be, the money required to do it right. Don't mind spending extra time to save some money because it's a relaxing hobby to me. But oh boy when my car has a problem that I am struggling with, don't get near me because I will definitely be in a very bad mood until I sort it out.
The 'tex has been a real life-saver a couple of times, helping diagnose tricky problems. it's part of the reason I come here regularly, to give something back when I can. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Well over the course of the last 2 months my Scirocco has nearly cost me my sanity. It's been towed to my Mechanic 3 times since the middle of May 90+80+55=$225 in towing! Crap! I need AAA big time (DUH). Then the fuel problems have costed me $220+$200=$420
Total in 2 months for crap fuel problems=$645 smackers. And it's in the shop for a 3rd time for fuel problem that will probably cost me $300 so I'm looking at about $1000 in the last 2months alone! If the thing dripped any oil and didn't pull like a rapped ape I would have got rid of it a long time ago. But after he replaces the Main Fuel pump this time I will have went through pretty much the whole fuel system and if it isn't fixed then it's gone! Don't get me wrong I love tuning and my cars but this scirocco has been pure EVIL! But, it has me obsessed so I spend mass cash on it. I bought it for $800 and am at about $3,200 over 1.5 years. So, I hope my problems are fixed otherwise you'll be seeing a Boosted Rocco up for sale soon! But, I sure hope not! GAWD HELP ME AND MY ROCCO!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
