Best advice yet!

I drove a rabbit diesel all through a winter... the most beaten car still legal I have ever run. it started and started and started...even below zero.
bent hood, both bumpers mangled, dented all over, the drivers door was never shut, even when shut..the body was no doubt twisted. decrepid, car leaned, hood was twisted with a dog chain through it, no grille, thumped every wheel out of balance over 55, and rumbled every part not welded at an idle..
a bigger chassis, I'd do it. I just potted the comment on the passat wagon. good candidate for a little torquer.
I did drive a jetta diesel, but ya know, the box of the rabbit seemed tougher, even after all the pansiness mentioned. the jetta was like a rubber balloon.
