Yesterday saw me drive this bad chariot home, allowing me some deep work on the VW time.

I just spent some more cash on the Riot wagon.. they finally noticed that the rack and pinion was loose as fuck.. so now at least when I hit a bump the steering doesn't go crazy

Bump-steer is a bummer, glad you got that sorted!

The Ion isn't that large, definitely falls into what the U.S. considers a compact car - but it is larger than the squareback while also being unable to haul as much stuff.

I have practically bought the damn thing again in repairs but I guess since I couldn't buy a new model if I wanted to because they don't make them anymore it somehow makes sense.. If I don't get another 100k miles out of it I'll be pissed .. :flamingbanana:

Local classic, but I'm short on cash and don't have the spousal patience needed to pull it off.
