Find of the Day: Bagged, Stage 2 2002 Jetta Wagon

Few things are cooler than a wagon. From the oldest American iron to the latest Alltrack, wagons manage to walk a line between practicality and cool that makes them deeply desirable. And they only get cooler when you mess with the suspension.

This 2002 Jetta Wagon GLS form the forum has been bagged with an Air Lift Slam series kit and endowed with R32 control arms and a sectioned subframe. The result is a stance that’s both confident and relaxed, like a guy who really knows how to throw his weight around.

That confidence comes from the Stage 2 Unitronic tune, 2.5 inch Borla exhaust, and a stage 2 grip force clutch.

According to the owner, the car has a few foibles and unfortunately the wheels have been sold, but it’s daily driven. This isn’t a show queen, but it’s a pretty cool way to get around.

This Jetta Wagon could be yours for $3,500.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
