Worked for VW for a little over 10 years. If you want to work on your own car, you need specialized tools. Okay, fine so you buy them.

-Different model, all different tools

-Every 4-5 years a new updated model comes out, guess what? New proprietary tooling.

-Its all intentional.

Ends up cheaper repairing at the dealership.

I started leasing years ago because of this shit.

The Car is always new, Always under warranty and I pre pay the maintenance.

At least I know how much I’m spending a year.

I missed the older generation of cars to be honest. I have a chrysler intrepid and the fact there was so many interchangeable models and years was awsome. Also repairs dont seem like you need a degree in comouter coding to do

You could buy parts off the internet junkyards. Was great.

My brother was a VW mechanic until he passed a few years ago.

He was like a VW Rainman.

It became quickly apparent that he was different from the other mechanics.

While they were working on cool diagnostics and whatnot, he was happy doing oil changes.

He hacked his own Golf R.

The dash dials blink at you (an homage to Herbie the Lovebug) when you start it up.

Without Bitcoin, I wouldn’t still have that car.

Thanks for confirming further how irreplaceable it is with respect to vintage changes on models.

I worked for Porsche and I was a big VW fein. The hack is you buy a Toyota and keep it for life much cheaper than leasing.
