What to do with a free Jetta
So if I or another broke friend was hypothetically given a 1996 Jetta with 4 doors, 4 cylinders, 8 valves, a cracked windshield, 4 bald tires, a cyl #2 misfire, an automatic that slips a little, and a broken vehicle speed sensor what should I/he do with it? It does have a sunroof and plays La Cucaracha when you leave the lights on or the keys in. Should I look for an LS4/4T65E HD out of an Impala SS? A Northstar and 4T80E? Drive it off the pier?

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

I saw a youtube vid os one a couple of years ago with a northstar v8 out of an eldorado or something. It looked pretty cool and did amazing burnouts.

Kinda small to do a demolition derby. Jump it, tape it, and youtube it!
I am not useless, I can still be used as a bad example!
