[Vwdiesel] TDI futures

[James Hansen]

I just watched a blurb from the LA auto show on speed about the new '05
Jettas.  They are going to be available first with the vr6 and sometime
later with the 4cyl turb gas (200 hp or more) and the tdi, but specifically
mentioned availablility in the 2005 model year for the gas turbo and the
tdi.

I know of what you speak.  There is a dealership around here that you used
to have to strip naked and do the can-can on the roof of a new car to get a
salesdroid to even look your way. Imagine the embarassment at -40 that would
bring...  There is a new guy there that is a real go-getter and it's all
changed.  It probably has most to do with how set in the ways the sales
manager is, and just how good the blackmail pictures are that he has of the
dealership owner and his secretary....

silly putty.... lol!  mix it with JB weld, works for kia....  At -40, KIA is
a very appropriate name.

I was at the dealer today trying to find some parts which, after hearing
their prices, I will make on my own from silly putty.  I was walking
around the showroom looking at all the shiny toys and wonderng what they
were selling for these days for a suprising number of minutes and no one
walked up to me.  I got an, "I have no idea" from a receptionist drone.
I think all the sales staff was involved in a canasta game or
something.  I finally cornered one of them and he told me that they will
be not importing TDI's for a bout a year and a half due to emissions
regs.  Anyone heard about that?  It's always hard to tell from a
salesman--the sound of their voices gets muffled as it passes throught
the lower abdomen.  He didn't even ask me if I wanted to look at one.  I
would think that that's the kind of trade practice that would tank a
dealership real quick, but I guess maybe I'm just that much smarter and
better-looking.

In any event, if that's true, I guess I'll have to buy TDI futures now
and sell high later.
