Buying a car from an old lady

it may also have been due to the fact that my Passat (which is only about 300 pounds heavier then a jetta) was pushing 17 PSI instead of the factory 5 :D

Yeah that helps a bit! I have always wanted a Passat (sedan or wagon) with the W8 engine in a 6-speed manual. They come in AWD so you have great grip and can plow through rain and snow like nothing! :D It just sucks because there were only about 10,000 made I believe which makes them rare to come by and also expensive. :banghead:
