Welcome to the site also...
...What kind of VW did you give up? My wife let me buy my PT back in July only if she also got a different car too. I got the 2001 LE, what I've been wanting, and she got on the same day from the same lot a 2001 VW Beetle. But she got the TURBO
and I didn't OH WELL
still love my PT anyway. Best of luck and see you in the posts.
