Volkswagens Suck!

Mine specifically.

I was coming home today and decided to take my off ramp somewhat spirited, and lo and behold, 1/4 of the way through the turn i hear this buzzing, and i think, wtf, it's probably some wierd chassis flex. But no, it was the low oil pressure buzzer and the light was flashing, so i let off the gas and try some left hand zigs to get oil back into the pickup. No luck till i got to the top of the ramp. kinda had me worried there for a minute. Then after it quit and the car drove fine, i remembered that it's stock and has recovered fine from worse things (overheating).

had an oil change in it less than 2000 miles ago. lame machine. Also related - when you go around turns too fast and the oil doesn't starve, it runs out of gas because the tank pickup is on the far right side.

VW engineers must have been thinking right hand drive when they made that car. Idiots. My Quest would NEVER do any of that. And it would be faster and turn better, stop better, everything except milage. but only about 10 mpg difference.
