lol, holy flaming and crashing vw's batman!
My audi (traded an old computer+$300 for it) would stall in rainstorms and heavy snow. One day in heavy rain I noticed it trying to stall on the highway and in the rearview I saw splashes of sparks. Finally figured out that water was running down the underside of the hood and dropping all around and the ignition coil, which had a giant chunk broken out of it's insulation. So it was like the fourth of july under the hood. Probably lucky I'm not more dead
On the way home that night it was sitll pouring and the car didnt make it, but as fate would have it, a guy who was behind me pulled right over. It was a customer I'd sold a cell phone too about 5 hours earlier, and he let me use it to call for help. Instant karma I figure, or something like good luck maybe.
That piece of junk was really comfortable to sit in and drive, but damn it was messed up. I gave it away to some guy for nothing.
And now, some 14 yrs later, the new car I got to replace it is dead and I have to give it away for scrap too. Ah well, it had a good run.
