    I'm a cyclist. If you ride w/others, the sweet spot is in someone's draft.
    Depending on wind conditions, you will expend up to 60% less effort in their draft.
    Justdraftn, curising in the sweet spot.

    The very first forum I ever joined (probably almost 20 years ago now) was a Yamaha ATV forum...and I had a 1988 Yamaha blaster. Made my name Blstr88 and I've just continued to use it for forums ever since.

    I have a love/hate relationship with winter. Gathering wood makes me anticipate winter, rather than dread it. And burning wood makes me enjoy winter, instead of b***h about it. So, I have adopted the name of my conquered foe, Midwinter!

    Boettg33 - Last name - Last two letters are swapped out with the greatest basketball player of all time, Larry Bird. At least in my opinion.

    My last name roughly translates into meaning a "dust storm". My dad would always use "dust" for reservations and such since it's easier for people to say it right. The "r" is the first letter in my name.

    Means just as it reads short for Joe Dirt.
    My real first name is Joe and a couple guys at work called me Joe Dirt one day because of being covered in dirt and mud after a pretty messy job. As well as for my love of old iron and usually having permanently grease stained hands and a hat. :D
    From that day on it stuck with me and has been shortened to just Dirt

    Everyone calls me shaggy at work, as I only cut my hair 2 or so times a year, it gets pretty long and I guess I look like shaggy from Scooby Doo, zoiks! And the rest is pretty obvious, I hoard wood from the dump 7 miles from our place.

    One of my son's old girlfriend's mother gave us our name. She came out to the house one day and even before arriving she did not like it. Said we were nothing but a bunch of old backwoods savages. Dang, I loved that immediately! Hence, my nickname from that point on.

    Our 99 had 200,000 plus miles on it, and now the 06 has 215,000 both with little maintenance. 42-50+ mpg. If/when we get a new truck we'll trade the car off. Find a 6speed if you get one.

    Engine and tranny repairs are pricey on the Jetta. That DSG trans could be a couple thousand. And the retail on the TDI is still pretty good with the recall/buy-back that VW was forced to do.
