Morning.
Well THAT just ruins it for me. I don't think I can talk to you anymore.
I can tell...you're too sly to not have been.
Doing good. Cold out there but not too bad. -4 or -5 or something like that. Had to dig the truck out of a giant drift this morning. Took me a half hour.

19 here in Seattle.
For us that's COLD!
Been driving the truck all week because the Z rated tires on the Jetta are completely useless if it's below freezing.
I know, Z rated tires on a car that cannot go that fast,
but that is what the car had when I bought it and they feel great at 80 mph.
I might as well be driving on greased pavement.

I hear ya Dan - I think I need to step up to 15" tires so I can get a taller setup & reduce the effective torque at the contact patch. Stupid little 1.9l TDI will spin them on dry pavement if I'm in a hurry.
Here's a conversion that is just about my "dream car" - 1999 A4 quattro 5-speed converted to run a 1.9TDI from a 2005.5 Passat... http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=212459

But why not just go buy a 2006 Passat 4 motion TDI? I don't think the cash outlay would be much different when it's all said and done.

If you can find one of those here in the U.S. or even Canada, you've found a grey-market import. They (stupidly) have never brought a diesel quattro/4motion anything to this side of the pond.
