I bought this car while I was in college when I realized that I was
going to have to give The
Jetta back to my sister & I was going to be stuck driving The
Beast. When I bought it, I used many pieces from The Silver Rabbit in order to get it on the road. This car has
been AWESOME. I have learned so much from this car & put it through so much,
that I can't believe it has lasted as long as it has.
