Heh heh! I had a 2000 VW Jetta diesel all through grad school and my early work days.. brought it up here to Michigan. 235,000 miles later, I traded it in when my wife (who was forced to drive it due to a long commute), got tired of the old fashioned roll down windows and waiting on the glow plugs on cold days. I miss that car!Comment

Yeah, I was going to say, his tweets sound terrible, but for all we know the guy is just a poser, trying to sound tough on twitter to his "boys" to build his "rep".
Back in college, I lost track of the number of times I heard some guy lie about "banging hos" or whatever trying to sound cool. Thing is, back then you said shit like that at a party or hanging out. It wasn't recorded and posted online for the world to see. If my idiot friends had had twitter when they were drunk/stoned/otherwise shit-faced God only knows what they would have tweeted.
Now, it what Yuri tweeted immature? Hell yeah. Is it acceptable behavior if you're on a fooball scholarship to a college? Hell no. Is it enough reason to stop pursuing him as a high schooler? I dunno--you have to ask Hoke about that. But while I'll fully admit that his tweets make him sound like a no-good misogynistic gangster punk that I don't want on my team, I hesitate to automatically assume that is who he really is.Last edited by Jamie H; January 20, 2012, 01:19 AM.Comment

I'm really intrigued with the VW diesels...the new Passat TDI appears to fit a number of needs in terms of comfort, efficiency and room for family. Plus it's built in the U.S.Comment

This whole issue would be much simpler if Yuri did something else to get himself expelled...multiple arguments about him on ND boards. Alot of fans wanted to dump him when they saw those tweets, now they feel justified.
There are very good arguments on both sides. The tweets are obvious indications of stupid kid + poor character. But getting busted with weed is such a different animal than tweeting about weed. Will be interesting to see where this goes.Comment

We had a 1994 Jetta. I sold it at 238k......still ran great. I told people I loved the roll down windows....but when I upgraded to power, I realized I was rationalizing......Comment

By the time my little brother graduated from Pioneer four years later, that same car had been sold off or passed down and was still a Pi-Hi student mainstay.
...I'm pushing 40 and have never owned a car with an automatic transmission or cruise control. Now I'm pretty sure both are standard features on even base models...
Gotta run. Good night.Last edited by Clashmore Mike; January 20, 2012, 01:40 AM.Comment

Jettas aren't what they used to be. I had an 87 Wolfsburg edition that was just the thing until I cracked it up. Still miss it.Comment

No idea why Yuri Wright was expelled (or kicked out) of Don Bosco, the tweets aren't worthy of such but do show a display of his character of why possibly M dropped his offer. I think there is more to this than just those tweets.Comment

WM now that Darryl Stonum has been booted from the team, do you know if by chance he still remains on scholarship? I guess he intends to graduate in the spring, any news? Does Michigan have a "freed up" scholly, honestly had he been booted initially, Hoke & Co would of spent the last 12 months looking to replace his position of need. It's a little late in the game unless you are Urbbie Meyer. Sure would be nice to secure Payton.Last edited by Optimus Prime; January 20, 2012, 09:44 AM.?I don?t take vacations. I don?t get sick.

Clash, 235K and it was still rolling strong! I had the 5-speed manual as well. My fob still worked! Those ACs were awesome, too, weren't they? I jokingly used to say those Germans liked their cool weather. Too bad my model was "hecho in Mexico".
The only problem that car ever had was very early on, the throttle body had to be replaced. I think it was a problem with that model and they rectified it under warranty and I never had a single problem with that car again. I did have to replace a few glow plugs, but that's totally normal.
Aside from my wife hating the roll downs (which she couldn't reach), she absolutely hated those times when she had to roll up next to the truckers and get diesel fuel. I'm sure the truckers enjoyed it, but she sure didn't. The final straw was when a guy next to her, while fueling, pulled out his unit and pissed in the trashcan between the two stalls while staring at her. Classy.
OK, sorry to the others. I'll quit hijacking the recruiting thread with my VW nostalgia!Comment

Buy her a Range Rover, I bought two. This one I use for tailgating even to AA a few times.

No pics, the dreaded red X. Probably due to my work computer being a Tandy 1000. But I do remember one of the RRs you had at the tailgate a few seasons ago. Nice vehicle. Wasn't it green? Can't remember.
Once I get out from under my federal loans from school, maybe she can have one of those! Does Uncle OP want to help out Clan Buchanan?
BTW, 3 degrees on my way into work today. Wanted to text that to Dad, but he's still lazin' it up in Cozumel.Comment
