Couple of weeks ago I went to a local scrapyard to check out a 98 MKVIII, it looked nice from the Craigslist ad so I had to go see it. By the time I left the yard I talked myself into a full-time job at the guys repair shop/car lot. I've been a ASE certified mechanic for 20 years but the last few been doing plant maintenance at a factory. Wasn't digging that job anymore so this worked out great and after a motor job and a few others he seen that I wasn't full of shit and could do what I said I could.
Anyhow he agreed to not sell anything else off the car until I'm done with it. Someone beat me to the unicorn nice as hell pass side headlight but the rest is pretty much all there. I think the only reason the owner sold it was transmission trouble and hopefully I can buy the whole car. It's actually pretty nice and worth saving so we'll see. But go look at a car and walk out with a good job and a personal parts car. How cool is that!!?? Oh and even the rear neon works!
