I'd have a VW too , but I don't like black turtle necks and I use PC's unless I need a boat anchor, THEN I have a use for an apple.

Long live dave mathews!

Just kidding. Welcome! You'll find this forum very helpful. (except me)

My first car was a 1984 4-door wolfsburg rabbit just before easter 97 and here are some intresting numbers...

10....... the number of people including myself in the rabbit (muffler dragging) at one time

23.5.... is the 0-60 time with 4 people in the car (in sec, auto tranny)

3/4... amount that i could fill my gas tank (3/4 way full) before it started to leak (gas engine)

6... the number of times the gas pedel stuck on the freeway

$800... amount i payed for it out of the Houston Chronicle (all sales final..damn!)

haha just some funny stuff

back to subject... WELCOME to the board glad to have ya! Anything you need, just ask... chances are some one will know the ansewer or at least where you can find the ansewers.

-will

don't get me wrong it's a great car but even my mk4 is heavy. it had a blast with my bunny, but the bunny did not have half the power of my mk4. so no matter what you do there will always be some pro's and some con's.

by the way the new TC looks to be one hot car. can some one tell my why you would buy a celica over a TC?
