Well, chances are rare getting a speeding ticket in an NA 89 Jetta...
However, one day driving into work, I take the scenic route through Jones Beach State Park, and a State Trooper gets me for a cracked (big crack) windshield.
Told her I was getting it replaced in a week (TRUE!!!), and she then asked me why I drove a hunk of crap.
Her eyes lit up like headlights when I told her I got 40-50+ mpg depending how I drove..
Showed here the non slacking seat belt, and why I couldn't wear it.
She got a chuckle out of it, and let me go.
This was before the new rims,tires, interior and other things done since then. Will be Canada bound shortly for a new engine, head and exhaust mods, carpet, a/c work (Tyler's pal), and my IP 'Gilesfied'.
Tyler is hooking me up big time. With a little help from Bryson.
Guys at my firehouse ask me why I keep an 'old clunker'.
Guess ya gotta love VW's to understand why.
That and rising fuel prices. They won't stay at these prices forever. JMO.
Stay safe, stay well. Jimmy
