Glad to have you are back in the fold!  Too bad for you timing belt battle. I am having a battle with my Jetta GTD, I can’t seem to find a speedometer that actually works and keeps records the correct speed.  Trying to find another speedo head as we speak.  Hayden

"God is not a diviner being or a magician, but the creator who brought everything to life. Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of things that evolve.” Pope Pius XII
“There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.” 
“I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."
“I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all.”  Alexis de Tocqueville
