The Honda was a Honda Accord LX 1997 Model (with a '98 engine)
The VW is gonna get a little TLC. Gotta replace the timing belt and the like. Ditto on water pump. Oil change was just done about 50 miles before I bought it.
It's a fun car to drive. I did get more (better pics) but instead of showing them in here, you can click my picasa link and it will take you to the album. That way it doesn't take people's bandwidth if they have limits on download (Being courteous).
The car is really nice and I am loving it. pretty peppy, even though it's technically a lower HP (the 1.8 Litre has a turbo on it I guess), but nonetheless very cool.
The Reverse on it is opposite of most cars, and slightly different with the bug.
on the old Bug, you push down on the center of the stick (neutral) and push over to the left past first gear and down to the lower left (towards you)
the Jetta you push down (neutral) then over to the left and up towards the dash (away from you). Very different than any other stick car I have drive. The honda is opposite of 5th gear.
Unique
btw, the beer in the trunk of the car is not for me, it's for the Veedub club which I am going to tonight. I haven't been there in a while.
So on the bug, it's in the garage, found out my brake issue. No fluid >.<. Oops, I will have to re-do the brakes and bleed the lines in the spring. The brake pads need replacing anyways.
