You hate VWs?
It's what they had at NAPA, better than nothing and bigger is better with a
vehicle that sat a while.

Oh yea. Everybody here knows I hate VWs.

You call that an endorsement? They probably had a half-dozen cheap-ass
rebuilt engines they rotated in and outta that thing.

Nothing means you ain't wasting money on a loosing something.

That makes no sense to me. How is bigger better because it sat rusting
for decades?

John was refering to just the gas filter not torching the bus.

Gas filters in the engine compartment is not a good thing on a VW.
