What to name my new car?
Here she is… what shall I call her?

I don’t know why people think swapping engines in my VW Cabrio was crazy. Clearly there are crazier people out there, doing even more bizarre things with their VWs… for example, Ron Patrick has added a jet engine to his 2000 New Beetle. Now that’s what I call afterburn! (Yeah, I’m just a little jealous.)
I can’t wait to get my hands on this In Dash Car PC Adapter! I’ve listened to music off of my laptop before in my Corrado and Passat, and I ever since my cassette player died in my Cabrio, I’ve been using an iPod with an FM transmitter. Neither sounded all that great, nor were they at all easy to manipulate while driving. Being able to control playback software from the normal head unit controls will be awesome!
