Well, just got done installing the timing belt in the VW Cabrio! Reason it's too bad it works? Because now I have to use "it" to commute 150 miles a day , when I was loving using the RAM.LOL Oh well, not everything works out the way you would like it to.

 

think of all the money you'll save in mpg.

 

more money for the ram

 

Congrat's .... in a way lol.

 

Thing is I don't pay for the gas, that's why I have to use the VW. Problem is I don't get wear and tear. A tire for the Vdub is 45 bucks and a tire for the Ram is 145 bucks for instance,so it is what it is I guess!

 

i also just got my "work van" back. hit a deer.(95 furd aerostar) i really like driven my ram better too. but like you, i donnt have to pay for gas for it. my work commute is only 20 miles though, round trip.sometimes my truck will sit for a month and only be started and let idel for a little while.

 

you really should take it out for a while if possible, just idling, the exhaust doesn't get hot enough to evaporate all the condensation in it and it rots out the system quicker.

 

Well finally went to get a new battery for the Ram, it's needed one for months. Si I used the VW to go get it(started in garage after Timing belt replacement,but could not road test it, because of the beers required for working on a vehicle)LOL Unfortunately it still works,LOL, so I'll be using the Vdub during the week and the truck on weekends.

 

i used my truck to get to work everyday but when gas prices hit the roof and we had a baby the wife was home so i started taking her minivan. yes a minivan. and i can go 2 weeks on a tank with the van so i still use it. but once in a while ill take the truck to work to take some pallets home for bon fire and i feel like a man again. lmao. so i know exactly what your saying.

 

I always drive my truck. Screw OPEC. I like polluting the enviroment. I enjoy bullying small cars around. And it`s the only thing I have to drive.
