this is a 1979 vw rabbit, it is a good car i have been driving it 2 years. i would drive 400 miles a week and all was good. since it has no heater or ac it would be parked in the winter and even though the windows have to be rolled down with pliers they still work well.It is hard to start the longer it sets, it gets air in the fuel line and i am not sure if the glow plugs even work but even when its cold it still starts but you may have to start it 3 or 4 times before it will stay running. runs and drives good a little noisey from the exhaust pipe and road noise.the dash is cracked all up from the sun. the widshield has some chips and it leaks a little bit when it rains. the tires are not to bad but they could use a rotation the one on the back have more tread than the ons on the front. it probaly could use some brake pads i have drove it about 50000 miles and havent done anything with them. it smokes on start up but stops quickly also smokes if you floor it at high rpm (all black smoke).its got rust under the back and inside the trunk i tried to seal it with rubber coating but i can still see some coming through.it has a dent in the back passenger side and several dings in other places. it has a primer spot on the hood the guy i bought it off of said the battery shorted out and caught the insulation on fire so some of the stuff under the hood got melted, but it has not seemed to effect the way it performes. i put a lower cost cold air intake on in and it seem to have helped the mpg, i have been getting 40-50 it just depends on hard the wind is blowing. the fan is set up on a switch in the dash it will stay cool with no fan most the time but at temps in the summer i just leave it on all the time never had any temp trouble out of it.i have changed the oil every 5000 miles and used lucus each time.the odometer works when it wants to, so, scents i knew how far it was to school thats what i used for mileage.the hatchback window don't stay up on its own so the lucky winner gets the board that i been using at no extra cost. there is a spare tire but there is no rim inside that tire(glad i never had a flat). the window tint maybe illegal where you live it's dark and mirrored and old, or custom depending on how you look at it.the paint is is faded. the back window heater don't work.the radio and CB work and all the guages and clock. the seats are in good shape.this car is old and i am not a mechanic (especally diesel mech.) i have rigged stuff to work and put up with other stuff i could'nt rig. the car would probbly make a cross county trip but i sure don't know if i could handle driving it cross the country. this is an as is car. would be a good wvo car if somone wanted to try it.if you have any questions just ask and i will get with you as soon as i can.

Former chairman Piech opposing his nieces' VW board nominations

Fri, May 1 2015

Someone needs to option the rights to the Ferdinand Piech story for an HBO series, because it perfectly mixes the corporate intrigue of Mad Men with the family drama of The Sopranos. Plus there are some cool cars. In the latest episode, Piech isn't happy with Volkswagen's appointment of two of his nieces – Julia Kuhn-Piech and Dr. Louise Kiesling – to replace he and his wife on the automaker's supervisory board. The recently ousted chairman could try to stop them. According to German publication Bild, Piech thinks his two relatives lack the necessary automotive experience to serve on the board. Therefore, he suggests one-time Ford Premier Automotive Group boss Wolfgang Reitzle and former Siemens manager Brigitte Ederer to take the seats. However, a VW spokesperson told Automotive News Europe that there were no objections to the women's appointment, except for this story from Germany. Piech's nieces are already officially appointed to the VW supervisory board, and it's approved by the Braunschweig Local Court in Germany. His only real option to challenge them would be to file a lawsuit, according to Automotive News Europe. While the new appointees don't have their uncle's decades of history in the auto industry, they do have business experience. Dr. Kiesling has a degree in vehicle design from the Royal College of Art in London and is the managing director of an Austrian textile maker. Kuhn-Piech works in real estate sits on the supervisory board of German truck maker Man.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members.
