What is going on with my VW? Driving today at around 70mph. The car was shaking and pulling to the left.

I got it stuck in the snow and turned off my traction control to get the car to rock and I got the car free. I go to turn back on the traction control and it gives me an error. So now I don't have traction control. Too much for me to deal with right now.

Yeah, this isn't the first time I have had problems with a VW. The other day I went to back it out and it was just cranking over and didn't fire. Then after a couple minutes of that it wouldn't even crank.

After messing around with it for 15 minutes I got it started put it into reverse and it stalled out on me. Four times in a row it stalled out when I put it into reverse. I dunno what'* up with that.

House project time. I got a lot to get done. Then I'm going to be throwing up a for sale sign and moving out.

FCCF32DF-C7BD-4C3C-9F39-881999693FB1-694-00000075DB1FA079.jpg

The living room is getting repainted and the wood floors redone. I'm going to be doing the install for a TV wall mount and home theater. So all the plugs and cables can be hidden.

The hall way also is getting repainted and the wood floors done as well.

The kitchen will get a new sink and counter top. I will paint the ceiling in there as well. Just to freshen it up.

Houses in my area have gone up slightly and I figure might as well try to move out.

So the Bonneville is definitely getting replaced this year. Seriously looking at the 2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring.

i had a mazda 6 v6 for a rental. it was fun to beat, and has a cool interior. it had the 6spd auto with the paddles. i dont care much for the paddles and it was very slow shifting i had to hit it about 1-1.5k before red or it would hit it. plus if i was going from a bonnie the interior and the trunk are way small.

My wife has a 2010 Mazda 3 hatchback. Its a fun little car to drive and pretty good on gas. If you want some get up and go, get the Mazdaspeed 6. I think it only comes in a manual.
