[Vwdiesel] '98 Jetta convesion stick/auto

[Terry Briggs]

if you want to search craigslist nation wide, you need two things, 
firefox for a browser and "crazedlist" crazedlist works only with the 
firefox browser, you enter the info you want to find, click on the 
locations you want it to search and hit the go button. It will list 
from every location in the U.S. if you want. I use it a lot to find 
parts and stuff. just google crazedlist.
