It's Christmas, I just sold a guitar, and I am looking to buy a truck thing. Suggestions? I like the Towrig from the outside, and the inside is comfortable.

If I don't get a truck thing. Maybe Karl will let me buy him out of his contract. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No way I'd spend a penny of this on a teener! FORGET IT! I am about to buy a house, and I don't need a yard full of crap... to start..

Miles,
Our chief instructor for the Central Indiana Region PCA uses a Toureg to tow his 87 Carrera. It's a nice vehicle. If I didn't get a good size savings by having family at Chrysler I would probably have a V8 Toureg right now. Maybe not though, I love my Durango.

Durango is a real truck, made for a real man. (what are you doing with one?) hah

I need to go to Atlanta, and drive all this stuff, 'build your car' online is not helping a damned thing.

I wish they delivered.

You won't like the limited MPG. Sucks gas big time. A friend has one. It's a great ride otherwise.

My mother has one V6 model, she loves it. I've driven it a few times, very nice ride. Gets better gas milage than the Land Rover Disco that she had.

I think she just bought it to make me jealous!

Gas guzzler? Is this that new external combustion engine?

I hunted one down today, and I like it (not the color at all.. red over wheat thingy.. not me) but I think I will keep looking for a while here..

I looked over all the options, and I didn't want even one.. yIKES! What is the world coming to?

I tested out a Turbo Beet too.. hey! That's fun!

Last spring I bought a used Audi sedan from a woman who had just bought a new Toureg. She was having lots of trouble (major drive train issue but I can't remember what it was). Back to the dealer several times for weeks at a time. May have just been parts unavilable for such a new car. She said hers was not the only one with the problem. I would do some internet searching on problems before buying.

Early Touaregs had two drivetrain issues, both involving the transfer case. Some vehicles needed the entire unit replaced based on the production code cast in the case. The other problem involved severe tire scrubbing when turning. This was fixed with a software update and on some vehicles a new stepper motor. There were other problems many of the early production Touaregs had but they have all been resolved with software or hardware updates. The late '04's had all these issues resolved at the port or factory.

I just got the world record $$$ for a dead-mint 1956 Goldtop, with original strings. NOS, period.

I am shocked that it's gone, in a good way. Now all I have to do is wait for a 3rd party check from Indonesia.

I can't sleep!

Ijust dropped my jetta off at the dealer for some warentee work. I went over and looked at the 05 Tour rag OMG they are in the $54000 range and not the TDI. Last time I looked the TDI was $53000 I hate to see what it goes for now. Sorry VW it looks like I go to Nissan for the Armada.

I didn't let them give me the anal probe, but the bloodsucker quoted me "around 46" for the V8 with a hitch.

It is way too much, I am looking for a 1964 Ford econoline as we breathe.

I would rather spend the money on the Porsche model, at least it has some resale.

A freind of mine has a 77' 911S, with a built 2.7CIS engine. A screamer for a CIS engine. Anywho! My wife and I were driving on the hwy the other day returning it and I noted a Porsche Cheyane(spelling? Who cares?), I zipped up, hmm "S" model. Sort of did a few little moves, zipped in front of it (leaving room) and the guy flipped his brights at me and beeped his horn in anger. I didn't cut him off, it was an intentional "lets play" move. Any other Porsche driver might have seen it as that and ether respectfully delcined the offer to play, or joined in the festive fun of prancing about for a while. But this asshole didn't know what I was asking of him. Which reminded me, yeah, he is driving an SUV and probably doesn't even know at one time, Porsches were air cooled sports cars.

Damn Porsche for building a POS SUV and having grocery getting put a band-aid on my little finger pussy ass drivers behind the wheel of of them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) What a waste of a car/SUV/Station wagon, whatever they are. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif)
