A f$%king beetle..... they are shit.
I must admit, it has a very good motor and extremely fuel efficient.
Geez I wonder how much $$ were involved in that deal!

Yes they are, but when you get it for free, you'd drive one too. Id drive a GQ if it was given to me.[emoji1]Quote:

I think they're permanent 4x4 or push button 4x4.Quote:

Owner said this was the second converter to go on almost a new truck.Quote:

It all sounded like the ZD30 Handgrenade issue with owners in disbelief and other users blaming the owners for the problems etc.
