More old car woes
Pootie, my beloved 1983 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI, decided to roll over to 175,000 miles on a little exercise drive Saturday afternoon. I am not real good about taking those drives, but try to get some miles on it every weekend. It has an oil temp gauge in the center panel so I make sure I get it hot enough to boil off any moisture which might have condensed in the crank case.
About the time I started to slow down from highway speed, there was a huge vibration coming from the front left area. Turns out the CV joint called it quits and is now being replaced.
