It's a parts car for earlier chassis.

Uh, no.

I make enough money to own one and I chose not to buy one. It's *horrible*
gas mileage and outrageous price for the performance (overall) offered just
don't make it worth it.

Well, you know, this group is really used by the do-it-yourself guys who are
keeping their '87 Golfs running and on the road, and it's a tremendous
resource for that. Lots of knowledgeable mechanical people here. You're
just not going to find a lot Touareg people here (obviously). There have
got to be better forums for the topic.

Your absolutely right, I'm jealous. How could you tell? Was it that obvious?
Do I wear my feelings on my sleeve for all to see? I've lived with this pain
and emptiness too long. I will no longer deny this desire, this yearning,
for a luxury sport-ute. Practicality be damned, I'm heading down to my
dealer right now and get me a Touareg!

No you are not. You have no drive flanges on your transmission. You
may spend all your Toureg money buying new springs and holders at the
dealer.

Ouch, but not true. The dealer was very proud of their flange springs/thrust
washers, but still took only $33.10 + tax, leaving me plenty of coin for my
new Touareg. If the dealer had one on the lot with leather, chrome, and
proper cup holders, it would be in my garage right now. Honest.

For some of us, an SUV *is* the most practical vehicle. We can't all make due
with compact and mid-sized cars.
Steve Grauman

Somehow, our parents, and our parent's parents, "made due" without these
leather clad, bechromed behemoths, and their families were larger on
average. And the "Great American Road Trip" was all the rage. The Big 3 and
their Madison Ave. accomplices have convinced gullible city-dwelling boomers
(mostly) that they can't "make due" without these ridiculously high margin
vehicles, and they're laughing all the way to the bank. More proof that
growing up in front of the television makes you soft in the head.
