Geriatric Diesel (TDI) Checking In...

Hello,

I'm not the one who's geriatric... I'm only 40. "Geriatric" is how I describe my 10-year old TDI with 275,000-miles. It's fairly well modified for power, I run it ragged, and it can still return over 50-mpg with good driving style. I need to run it on a long trip with no AC just to see what it can still do.

Anyway, about me, I'm the original owner of the car, a 22-year veteran of the Coast Guard, married for 17 years with one eight-year old daughter, and I like to autocross and read up on diesel technology (not an oxymoron, I promise). I also like to travel via car. I just returned from a trip to the TAIL OF THE DRAGON.

I have set up a profile here and have my long time website linked in my sig. I like this site because it unifies us ALL in our efforts to achieve better economy!

Take Care,

Scott
