Gearbox finally gave up on me :(
Last friday i was driving into the city and while i was just cruising along in 4th suddenly a loud noise and no more 4th, i was able to limp it of the road to the next gas station where i pulled over and smelted the horrible smell of gear oil...I decided to try to get the car home since i still had 1st, 2nd, 5ht and 6th gear.
After driving a couple minutes in 5th a loud noise again and no more 5th, i put it into 6th and this one worked normal, like nothing was wrong with the car.
I made it home, picked up my Beetle and went on my way to the city again to party and forget about it until i found what you can see in the picture the next day.
It seems like there is some kind of bearing that missing, there is no excessive play on the shaft so this makes me believe that the failed bearing could be my only problem, hopefully !!!
Funny thing is that the germans made a removable cover to acces this bearing, would they maybe know that this one could potentially fail??

Well, I *thought* it was a great weekend...
Who knew that you had to examine your car when you come out of a movie theater?
I thought that parking far away from other cars and close to another car that is obviously owned by an enthusiast was a good idea. Apparantly not when that other enthusiast drives an STI...
I saw the gum on teh back window when I approached the car and really thought that someone must've been a good shot.
Nope - as I walked out of the grocery store this afternoon I saw teh swirl of key marks above the fuel door. Aint that grand?
I cannot stop fantasizing about walking out to catch that motherfucker doing that to my car (honestly, anyone's car...) - my wife would have first had to pull me off of a bloody pulp and then bail me out, but it would be worth every second...
so what kind of asshole does this?

No real .:R content, but a great weekend nonetheless...
Just thought I would share with you guys that this weekend was a movie CRAZY weekend for my wife and I. Yesterday we saw Iron Man and Narnia's Prince Caspian. Today we just got back from Indiana Jones.
Let me tell you guys - Iron Man was the tits. Bad ass. Loved it - and my wife (Judy) even leaned over in the middle and said "this is so much cooler than Transformers!" What a woman I have, huh? :)
Caspian was really good. I think Lion, Witch and Wardrobe was a little better, but I have a real soft spot for those stories - I read them over and over as a kid. Can't wait for teh rest, but all in all, Caspian is (IMO) totally worth the price of admission. Not as good as Iron Man, but it was damn good.
Indiana Jones was beast. Loved it. I think they did a great job on the story, the effects were not over the top and the feel of it was right on point with teh series. Definitely better than the second one (forget the title at the moment) and really fitting for the whole series...
Lastly, this weekend is Rolling Thunder down here in DC. I had to go into the city for work this morning to resue a coworker on call - some really bad ass bikes of all types on the road = sick rockets, great cruisers and some really insane custom choppers. (Ok, a little .:R content) "Riding" with htem on the highway and then on the Clara Barton Parkway was a blast - I definitely surprised a bunch of bikers that thought I was a lil' Dub with a lot of exhaust. In fact, at a light one guy had some pretty excellent compliments on teh driving and the car - so even though I was pulled from bed for work, it was a great time...
Ok - there's the update from your Southern-most member (or so I thought - Chris takes teh cake on that one - oops!) :D
See ya'll soon, I hope!
