• Looks nice but cold in the winter.  When I bought my first Golf, it had a custom machined aluminum knob, and it was no fun grabbing it the first thing on a cold winter morning.

  This made me laugh, I have never had this problem, but when I had my R32 the shift knob would get so hot in the summer that I could barely touch it. That's saying something too because I was working as a chef at the time and I could tolerate some heat.

• GFs/wives are very missunderstanding people. My wife just can't understand why all the money MUST be spent on my Caddy. She also couldn't understand why anyone would spend weeks refinishing a 28-year-old Jaguar wooden wheel to put in a Volkswagen.
  Don't try to explain, just install the sticker that I did.

• To put this straight, I never once said I married the "wrong" one. I've been married almost 40 years and I'd do it all again with the same woman. In fact, if I had one that loved cars, I'd be very suspicious.
