Oooh, I like this thread. I'm disappointed to report that I do about 10% of
the work on my Scirocco at this point. That really is due to time rather
than interest. Back in college I was under the hood all the time -even
during class time. -maybe *especially* during class time. I always reserve
plenty of time to learn new tuning tricks and about automotive technology in
general, though.

Bah... I long for the old days. :^<

P.S. I really am considering tuning into the college thang, turning on to a
business major, and dropping out of the NYC corporate rat race.
Whoa! -chicks, homework, and time to work on my cars, and... chicks! :^)
