  1. Cars broken down on the highway? Come on man, if you're going to tell me VW's are poor cars, at least use some sort of facts. I've been driving these cars for the past 10-12 years (So does my family, we all own diesels). My last Jetta had over 600,000kms on it when I retired it, it also averaged 50-55MPG US.. My new(er) wagon currently has 330,000kms on it, barely broken in! Mike and I took my buddies TDI wagon up to Hearst when we flew into the Sutton. 3/4's of a tank one way.. We easily saved $100 on that trip alone in fuel. It might take you 10 years to recoup 5k if you're driving 20k a year, but I'm doing anywhere from 40-60k per year.. I see around 1100-1300kms per tank (55L's), nothing out there even comes close. I also agree with Dan, most expensive car I've ever bought was my first Jetta (11k used with 45,000kms on it).. You'll never see me buying a new car.
  2. Yeah, that didn't make much sense did it, lol!
  3. It's not just the engine you're paying extra for, the TDI's always have a premium package attached to them as well. Well worth it if you ask me. Figure diesel is about 10cents per litre cheaper then gas as of now, also add in the mileage comparisons and it doesn't take long to save 5k over the long haul.
  4. I both both my Scotty 1106's off the main battery in the back (Along with the Yamaha 115 and T8 kicker) No issues.
  5. They mean if the part you install, messes up another part that is covered under warranty, they will not warranty that broken part.
  6. I like catching them on marshmellows.
  7. If you want mileage, reliability and longevity go buy a TDI. Nothing comes close.
  8. No WD-40 or anything that will break down the grease. Q-Tips are fine. Also don't over do it, a few drops is usually all that's needed.
  9. That's what you want when you take it apart and grease/oil it.
  10. Here's some reading for you. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/take_out_of_context
  11. I think we should just fish for lampreys and Atlantics.
  12. Yup you are correct, looks like your FOV changes from 170 degrees to 127 degrees if you are recording in 1080p So moral of the story? Keep it in 1080p! LOL!
  13. Resolution has nothing to do with the field of view that fisheye lens has.. Increasing it or decreasing won't help..
  14. Giant snakes, big brookies and steelhead is just around the corner. Turning out to be a banner year.
  15. Fishing shouldn't be apart of the Olympics.
  16. I've got experience with that, I'd be happy to tag along, lol!!! Mr.Borger, I think I need to check Alaska off my list!
  17. No reason anyone needs 5 fish in the lake, bring it down to 2.
  18. Lake Huron/Superior chinooks don't get to the proportions like their Lake O cousins do... Also if it was a coho, the lower jaw would be a lot more pronounced, especially this time of year.
  19. I use my nieces Dora rod for jerkbaits. It's pretty awesome
