For the first time since I’ve owned it, the Treg needed to be towed. Backing out of my driveway, the brake pedal became a brick, and the 12+ pumps I gave it in the following 4 seconds did very little to slow its progress. I finally did get it to stop, about 18 inches from a very lucky Ford Fusion that was parked across the street.

Likely a vacuum hose/PVC pipe, but they aren’t easy to get to, and unfortunately I don’t have the time to wrench on it this week.

No, I just register the truck in Jersey so I can pay higher insurance premiums. (Yes, Essex county)

I just thought he’d enjoy the picture of a first gen Touareg on a flatbed. As an aside, aren’t many of his cars still from viewers (Porsche 918 video comes to mind).

Yeah viewers and dealerships are 50/50. He hasn’t done a personal car video since like the S-Cargo which there was a measly 4 of and the Viper got almost nothing neat before he sold it. It just was neat when he would do car stuff instead of being a car quirk ad man.
