What Are The Best Brakes For A VW? Have you replaced your brakes and they do not perform as well? Will putting aftermarket brakes perform as well as OEM brakes? What type of brakes would I put on my Volkswagen? This is a question found in Podcast Episode 89! ~ https://youtu.be/GBDzpVIWqY8?list=PLwfzU5uvU-lKLEvGiyabJxxazND2S7lC-
Ads for car sales are awful, and usually not right. This is not always the fault of the seller. Sometimes it just doesn't tell the whole story. I picked up this RUST FREE Cabrio for $800 because it "needed a shifter fixed". Turns out it needed a Clutch too! Thanks to @Advance Auto Parts for being a great partner on this Cabrio series ;)

VW has finally got a program to give master techs a little perk. That is the chance to work with Volkswagen Motorsports and Andretti Autosports for a day. VW has been in the Global Rally Cross (GRC) for 2 seasons. With a team so new, they need help from time to time. When a race rolls in to town they invite local 2 local VW master techs to come out and work with the team for a day. What a cool idea. And thank you VW for doing something extra for your techs.
