murdered out.. and ready to do work! this thing looks sooo tough.. note the arundel cages and the sticker.. the blacked out word is "dog" since i last wrote.. i installed a new oil pan on the tdi - easy. while i had it up on blocks i also decided it was time for new breaks and rotors for both the front and back.. a little upgraded : ) also decided to catch up on tons on maintenance.. fuel and cabin filters, had some of the intercooler pipes patched where they rubbed, replaced the silicone turbo and ic hoses.. the cup holder that tim broke, etc.. hopefully i have it up and running this week. i've been riding quite a bit.. it feels pretty good. i really don't have much of a choice without a car. i borrowed a gold minivan for a little while but i broke down too.. maybe i'm just bad car luck right now. i also hit a golden retriever in it.. actually it hit me. it ran straight into the side of the van while i was driving down the street. the dog was unharmed but i still felt bad. all the young guns are up a superweek.. hopefully having fun. if you guys read this, good luck! -out surFy
