Thanks for the opinion, Hagar.  But he wants it now, not in January. I 
figured that I should turn this little marvel loose to live usefully in 
some other household. I have more cars than I can ever use and maintain. 
For fuel economy and fun driving, the 85 Jetta TD is the jewel of the lot, 
although the Rabbit is surprisingly close.  What a fun little car.  I'll 
put my resources into making the Jetta very reliable and safe.
