It helps me meet people. It is so boring having a perfect Volkswagen year after year.wcfvw69 wrote:I've been shocked that he's put up with the dirty tank for as long as he has.
Nobody takes interest or pity with:
"WOW! That is a beautiful van! Did you restore it?
"Naw, I just wash the windows occasionally."
"OK, bye."
You know, this Volkswagen here has been utterly flawless so far. The smoothest, quietest, most demure VW I have ever driven. I have spent $0.00 on repairs in the past 13,000 miles. It is getting 16-20 mpg, the original brake fluid soaked rear shoes have been fine, I haven't checked the dwell or timing since Atlanta. YAWN.
So much better with:
"HEY BUDDY, WHAT THE H*LL ARE YOU DOING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN ROAD?"
"F*CK YOU A$$HOLE, MY FUEL FILTER IS CLOGGED."
"GET RID OF THAT PIECE OF SH*T AND DRIVE A REAL CAR!"
"YOU CALL THAT CRAPTASTIC PIECE OF PLASTIC A 'REAL CAR'? HAH!"
So yes, it is getting a bit tedious to clean the filter a lot, but I do not have the circumstance yet to immobilize this car and get transportation with the tank on my lap to a gas tank cleaning professional, wait for it to be done "next Tuesday, we're slammed" and get it all back in and onwards to meet my appointments.
