I set the cruise for 65 on 220 and just let it go. I never saw a cop on my way there or back. Although, on my way back this guy found it necessary to tailgate me the entire way to the turnpike even though he could have passed me numerous times.

Yeah. Tom welded the exhaust all back together and put on some new gaskets. While we were under there, Tom noticed that my tranny bracket was shot so he replaced that while he was working with the main cat.

The prices were...excellent. Well below what people up here would ask for the work that was done.

Harvey.
We narrowed it down to either a coilpack on the driver's side, TPS wire issues, and/or a missing IRIS check valve. Tom put the select monitor on it and nothing showed weird except the TPS wires were wacked out. Unfortunately, not sure if that's the culprit for sure but it certainly needs fixed.

Indeed...it looked exactly like my 95 Polo only without badges and less miles.
