Agreed.

I should post up some pics of my girlfriend 'new' car. '02(?) Jetta TDI. She bought it after her brother (a doctor) looked it over, but she didn't give me the opportunity to look it over because, apparently, I'm a know-it-all who turns everything into an engineering problem.

You should see the absolute disaster under the hood. A whole poop ton of add-on wires, some not connected, just birdnested around the whoe engine compartment. My very favorite is a stretched out coil of solder running from the negative terminal to the body as some sort of ground.

Anyone in the market for a POS Jetta??
