Ratty Rescue: Do it for Bogdan

Sometimes a car is cheap, not because it sucks, but because there’s some assembly required. Okay, a lot of assembly required.

This project comes to us from forum member MistaBee (aka Bogdan). And the project looks great but it comes with a sad story.

MistaBee started what looks like it was set to become a great car, Mk2 GTI in Alpine White with a G60 engine all set to be stuffed into it. Then life happened.

Although we don’t know the details—frankly it’s none of our business—MistaBee says he got hurt at work and won’t have the money to complete the car. Which sucks for any number of reasons.

The good news is, you can do something to help out. By buying his car (and not lowballing him -.-) you can take a little bit of stress out of his life and put a little cash in his pocket.

And he’s really not asking for much. According to MistaBee, the interior and everything you need to wire this project is there, in a labeled box, ready for installation. It’ll just take time, effort, and probably a little more cash to get it done.

And for all that, MistaBee is only asking $3,000. It does come with the solemn oath, though, that you’ll give MistaBee a ride in it whenever he wants.

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...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
