weird seeing a brit dog with a docked tail....i thought that was not allowed in britain/europeI thought barn finds were more valuable if people just sold them as-is. But still interesting to see them try to get this running.

Why do you hate freedom?Police handing out faraday bags to residents, because vehicle theft is getting that bad in areas around here. Some people having 2 or 3 stolen within a relatively short period of time.
Here's where car thefts are happening, and top 5 targeted vehicles
York Regional Police say they've seen an almost 50 per cent increase in vehicle thefts compared to this time last yearwww.newmarkettoday.ca
When do the automakers step up and take responsibility for making them so easy to steal?
Maybe it's time to go back to the good old physical key and lock tumbler.
Did you try to drive it around the French Alps with a sweet lady in the passenger seat?I just took a 1992 in at work for $40k with 77,000 miles.
I would have to be fuck you rich to pay for one of those now days. There was nothing really nice or enjoyable about it.
FreedomZWhy do you hate freedom?
Damn, something on BaT I both want and can afford? How do I explain to the wife that this is a good daily driver and a reasonable purchase?Dammit.

Time for a new fuel filter on a 2015 Golf TDI Ruth calls me and said that the dealer wanted $275 parts and labor. Filter is $50. I said buy the part and walk away (already knew that you can only get it from VW). Took me 5 minutes, its 5 star drive nuts, lift lid, pull old filter pop in new and top off the canister with diesel, replace the lid, tighten 5 nuts.
Fuckers wanted to take her for $200. fuck them

Not saying it’s right but that is about where pricing is for jobs like that. “Shop rates” at around $200 per hour are not uncommon. Typically shops will have a Minimum charge of one hour, which puts you at $250 for parts and labor. Throw in a disposal fee for the old filter and you’re at $275. Not cheap, questionable if it’s fair, but I think it’s the going rate…VW Stealership

Also, don’t you have to bleed a diesel to get the air out after opening the fuel system like that?

2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L DIESEL A/T TDI S Hatchback Filter. Fuel. Pump. Water Separator. ELEM - 5Q0127177 | Ontario Volkswagen, Ontario CA
Filter. Fuel. Pump. Water Separator. ELEM. A3; 2.0L TDI. DIESEL ENGINE. 2015 Volkswagen Golf 2.0L DIESEL A/T TDI S Hatchback. Genuine Volkswagen Part - 5Q0127177 (5Q0-127-177, 5Q0127177D). Ships from Ontario Volkswagen, Ontario CAwww.ontariovwparts.com
I hate this ontariovwparts.com website. It makes finding VW parts here in the province of Ontario difficult, as that site is always in the search results. Our parts sites here will list everything, but a lot of the items have no code to actually purchase.
Nope, you just insert the filter then fill the canister to the top with diesel and replace the lidAlso, don’t you have to bleed a diesel to get the air out after opening the fuel system like that?
20 new car rental "companies" just filed for a business license.....Porsche 911 S/T Will Be Leased to Buyers for the First Year to Deter Scalpers
Porsche has baked in a clever sale clause that means owners of the latest limited-edition 911 won't be able to cash in on a quick payday.www.thedrive.com
The irony is very strong in blaming the buyers for flipping cars. Porsche must have forgotten about supply and demand. Their limited run of this car is what is causing the price to go up. Just produce more and the prices will stay low. Or don't make it at all and produce more entry level 911s at a good price if you want people out there driving your cars. All of this is just more marketing bull shit to prove they are a drivers focused company.Porsche 911 S/T Will Be Leased to Buyers for the First Year to Deter Scalpers

$200/hour is 100% questionable and not fair. A good master technician is only getting $25-$30/hour flat rate out of that $200. $100 or more of that $200 is going directly into the owners pocket. Corporate greed from the big car dealer conglomerates is trickling down to the small mom and pop dealerships. The only ones making money now are owners and top tier management.Not saying it’s right but that is about where pricing is for jobs like that. “Shop rates” at around $200 per hour are not uncommon.
