>Another, more accurate way to put it would be that all of us guys in our
>forties were 21 once, and not that long ago, and we remember very well how >we knew everything, absolutely everything, about everything. I really don't feel that way though. I've come to this NG, and others, for advice. And I've done so knowing that the added experience you guys have is going to mean something when I get that advice. At the same time, I think we should all understand that everyone's priorities are a bit different, regardless of age. And rather than calling me a liar, or claiming that I simply don't know what I'm talking about, you guys could've simply taken the stance that the 21 year old doesn't have the same logic you all do, and that's fine. When I called the TDI a "slug", I wasn't doing it to start a flam war, and I certainly wasn't trying to troll the board. I was simply voicing my personal opinion. Compared to my GTi the TDI feels slow, and that's all I meant. Steve Grauman |

J.H., you've made yourself seem a fool here. You don't need magazines or the internet for it, either. Steve Grauman |

>Jeez, dude, you seem to be taking this awfully personally.
> I'm really not. But I'm terminally frustrated over the few people left that seem to feel a sports car can't be a sports car without a huge engine to back it up. We live in the 21st century, and automotive technology has come a long way. Admittedly, Chevrolet has come a long way in 30 years, and they've turned a fairly primitive engine into a respectable performance product. I don't think that this makes turbocharging a bad idea though, and I personally don't feel like it's a gimmick technology pushed on Americans who don't know any better. >More obsession with 0-60 times. How does it handle? How communicative >is the steering? How is its near-limit behavior? Is it >confidence-inspiring in the twisties? There's more to a car than how >fast it goes in a straight line. I agree. Which is why I've used the Legacy 2.5 and WRX STi as examples. They represent two of the best cars avaliable right now in their respective classes. Not only are they far quicker than most of the others, they handle, ride and stop better than most of them too. Of course, for quite some time, handling was not the strong suit of the Corvette either. And even with the C5s, only Z51 equipped coupes or Z06s were really capable of holding their own aganist the imports from a handling perspective. >Um, I would say that comparing a car against a *Pontiac* is setting >one's sights a bit low, eh? > Not in this case. The new GTO is actually a Holden, an Australian GM that's generally receieved positive reviews in it's home market. It also happens to be powered by a version of the 350 that's also powered Corvettes, Camaros and Firebirds. Steve Grauman |

Returning to this group after several weeks and tracing this thread, it is
hard to believe that my innocent original "anti Touareg sentiment" post spawned all of this SUV controversy. What a group!!

I have a spare keyless entry for my '99 Passat that I need to program.
Unfortunately I don't have the owner's manual with the instructions. I have one key that works. The spare key is cut for another car. Can someone out there provide the details to get the spare working to open the doors? Thanks |
