Proud New Owner

wrglrroper · 07-19-2007, 06:21 PM

i am glad to say that in a couple of days i will be the proud new owner of a rare classic diesel.

A 1981 VW diesel rabbit pickup truck.

It has less than a 100000 on it and is in pretty good shape. It gets 45 mpg and has roughly 50 hp

. My last diesel rabbit had about 350000 on it and running strong when I sold it.

Yeah the boss had to approve.

She is cool about it though. She knows I usually make good decisions about vehicles. When I get it Ill take some picks. One of the first things on line for it is a veggie conversion.
