2004 Vw Passat W8 4motion Sedan. Excellent Condition! on 2040-cars
Spring Grove, Illinois, United States
It is with a heavy heart that I am forced to sell my first W8. I purchased the vehicle from a husband and wife in Vermont back in 2010. The vehicle had ~50,000 miles on it at the time and the wife only drove the car a few miles back and forth to work every day. Her husband was a construction worker with extreme attention to detail in his house, cars, and yard. In the four years that have gone by since then, I have put almost another 50,000 miles on the vehicle and fell in love with everything about the W8 motor as I got to drive it more and more. It should be made clear that the only reason I am selling the vehicle is because I recently picked up and identical W8 with the manual transmission that I have been searching for since I realized how fantastic this car really is.
Since taking ownership of the vehicle it has always been garage kept (heated garage for the winters) and washed weekly. There is ZERO rust on the body and no check engine lights, strange noises, rattles, etc.. Oil changes have been done every 5,000 miles with Royal Purple 5w-40. Headlights are crystal clear and provide excellent visibility at night. The BBS rims were recently refinished through Alloy Wheel Repair Company and look good as new. New rotors and pads were installed less than 10,000 miles ago. All in all the vehicle has been maintained to the highest standards and it shows in how the vehicle looks and drives. It should be noted that this is Passat is no slouch either. Vw produced the all wheel drive Passat W8 from 2002-2004 and there car has a top speed of 175 mph! The W8 engine runs as smooth as silk and has great low end torque for being a naturally aspirated gasoline engine. (peak torque comes on at ~2750 rpms) If you've been on the lookout for a well kept W8 to get back into or experience for the first time, then I have to say this is the one. Please feel free to contact me with any more questions about the vehicle and I will be happy to answer them! If you would like to see more pictures of the vehicle I can email you the link to the photo bucket album or take more photos per request. |

Jay Leno takes a ride in Gabriel Iglesias' classic 1966 VW bus
Tue, Feb 3 2015We've seen Jay Leno driving all manner of vehicles, many of them epically fast. But few (this is side of his steamers, anyway) have been as slow – or quite as beautiful – as this classic 1966 Volkswagen Samba. While many of the vehicles featured on episodes of Jay Leno's Garage have actually been from Jay Leno's own garage, the former talk-show host has been known to feature some interesting rides from fellow comedians. A couple of weeks ago it was Adam Carolla's '68 Lamborghini Islero, and this vintage, pristine VW bus belongs to Gabriel Iglesias. It's in beautiful condition and is a sight to see, even if it has a little trouble making its way down the highway. Or starting up again after a quick snack break.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Scott Pruitt unfiltered: EPA administrator talks climate science, car emissions
Tue, Jul 18 2017U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt gave Reuters a wide-ranging interview on Monday at his office in Washington, discussing issues from climate science to automobile emissions. The following is a full transcript of the interview: REUTERS: You have said the EPA will focus on a "Back to Basics" approach under your leadership. What does this mean for how EPA enforces polluters? You have been critical of the idea of regulation by enforcement. PRUITT: I think what I'm speaking about, there is a consent decree approach to enforcement, where you use judicial proceedings to actually engage in regulation. Enforcement should be about existing regulations that you're actually enforcing against someone who may be violating that, very much in the prosecutorial manner. As attorney general [in Oklahoma], I lived that. There was a grand jury that I led. Being a prosecutor, I understand very much the importance of prioritization, of enforcing the rule of law, of addressing bad actors. That's something we are going to do in a meaningful way across the broad spectrum of cases, whether it is in the office of air or the Superfund area, or otherwise. REUTERS: Do you want to see states play a bigger role in enforcing polluters, even though some have less of a capacity to do so – financially and personnel wise? PRUITT: I think the state's role is really, when you look at this office working with states, it should be how do we assist, how do we engage in compliance and assistance with states. The office [at EPA that deals with enforcement] is called OECA, the Office of Enforcement, Compliance and Assistance, so those are the tools we have in the toolbox to achieve better outcomes. So what we ought to be doing is working proactively with state DEQs [Departments of Environmental Quality] to get their state implementation plans [for federal regulations] timely submitted, provide assistance and technical support, drive a draft of state implementation plans, and then actually work with them on how to achieve through those plans better outcomes and air and water quality. As far as enforcement is concerned, we will actually work with states. We actually did that recently with Colorado. There was an oil and gas company that was emitting some 3,000 tons, is that what it was, it was quite a bit of ... it was an ozone case. In any event, we joined with Colorado in that prosecution. So sometimes states will do it, sometimes we will join with them.
