Yes as matter of fact, I have the Luck o'the Irish...everything I touch turns to fertilizer of the bovine variety.

Re: Bent Cabby
It is true that the early automatics were much more robust than the later.
You can use an automatic (VW010) from the early 80's to around 93' in a
Vanagon, I have done it and it's still going strong in Dad's van. Some
modifications are required but it's minimal.
I still don't want one in anything I'm trying to get performance from,
except maybe a 928. I have played with those fairly extensively and I
have to admit that they are impressive.
