Smells like burning wires. Stinkin' hybrids! They're an electrical hazard!

Before the real flames start, I don't dislike hybrids. I'm just enamored of diesels and new to the forum. Thinking about trading in my Honda Pilot for a 2011 Golf TDI and joined to hopefully learn something about the things before I write the check. I have spent a lot of quality time with wrenches and bloody knuckles under the hoods of my own and my friends' cars, so maybe I can lend someone an idea or two and save a few bucks on bandages. Looking forward to learning a lot and sharing what I know. :thumbsup

Cheers!
Mike

There's some stuff in the faq about buying new cars but I'm not sure if the 2011 is in there yet but in the meantime welcometomyturbodies

You'll definitely like it, IMHO, it's the best small chassis VW has right now.

Hey thanks everyone - glad to find such a lively community here. That's part of the reason I pulled the trigger and traded the Pilot for the '11 Golf TDI! She's a real beaut. Grey 4 door manual trans, cold weather, sunroof. Everything I need and a lot more fun than the Pilot. Pics to come, one of these days. Looking forward to the ride, warts and all. :thumbsup
