Agreed, not near the appeal. Especially with meh drivetrain.

boo for 180$ wiper conversion working for one rain day then falling apart.   what a pain in the ass to install and adjust.  barely jams in under the dash too.  not impressed.

hopefully my fix is good.  bah. 

ordered a brake light switch.  was stuck on last night causing a dead battery this morning.  might fix for 11$ or might need a new petal assembly since its bushings are beat.  it will get a hydraulic switch instead then for simplicity.

2 more trips. week from today and 13-Nov.

would be nice if there were factory recovery points on both sides. would be easy to do if that were the case.
I should plate the TDI to see if I want to trust it for the trip. probably shouldn't. Need to slap a radiator in it. That's the one that should get the tow bar mod. it's salvage already, who cares what happens to it.
