John clamped up the exhaust. A clamp was missing.
In other news, I forgot to post this last week.

HOLY CRAP!! That's so awesome!

HI MISS ELLEN!

[Lnzbug]

Hi Amyjanebridetobe
For a while there last year I didn't think I'd make it. Ole Chip pulled thru though I already have 600 more on him

[yelojkt]

Congratulations on 200,600. And here's too 200,000 more

[Lnzbug]

Thanks! I guess I got my money's worth out of him

[Beetlemania]

Welcome to the club! You're doing better than I am! I've only () got 214,350 on my '99. But I'll add a few over the next couple of weekends.

Congrats Ellen thats quite a lot of miles ya got there...i just hit 70,000 and totally forgot to document it oh well maybe at 71,000 anyway hope chip is doin good for ya

[pasadenagrand]

Makes me feel good to know that these cars can go that far. I've always been really good about maintaining my cars, but to see that they can reach 200,000 or more is AWESOME!!!

[Lnzbug]

Thanks everyone! I think he looks darn good for 200k. His front end might be a little chipped up but I can live with that
Hey, Jacob, do we get a special decal for rolling over 200000? I think we should make one up. With the energizer bunny and something like 200000 and going and going
I walked home(only a couple of blocks) just so I could get the camera. I didn't want to chance it changing I'm glad I did because it went to 200001 a half block from home

[Beetlemania]

A decal would be an awesome idea! I've put my first one ever on Paul, and I was thinking of an .org sticker! We need a 200k club!!!

[PzwoTDI]

200k!!! Simply awesome! Congrats.. At 200k your bug is still a looker

[Lnzbug]

Why thank you He still makes me smile when I see & drive him so I hope to get another 100k

Jacob, who can we get to make decals?

[Beetlemania]

There are a few people on here who can make them... but I don't know who since I never considered putting stickers on my car until recently!

(now I realize why I fought it for so long... where to stop!?!)

[callisto9]

I needed to see a pic of Chip! So here he is! Two, in fact.

[Lnzbug]

Thanks, I'll try to take a few new ones but I've got alot of chores to do first

[ladytonya]

Ellen, I love your flames! Where did you get them? I've been looking for something simple like that but can't find them anywhere. Small and understated is what I want, not flames that cover the whole side of the car. Chip is lookin' good!

[Lnzbug]

Thanks, I love them too but sadly I can't get any more The company that made them stopped making them. If anyone thinks they can do these in vinyl I'd buy a set. These are magnets

On 2/21/09 Chip officially did the 222222 dance. I would post pics but I didn't have the card in the camera & I don't know how to upload pics that are in the camera and not on the card.
A little more of an update, his ABS & ASR triangle lights are lit. As is his airbag light. The great guys at Dubwerks vag-commed him & said it was the ABS pump & control module. About $1700 just for parts Looks like I have to brake the old school way again He cleared the CEL so hopefully I can get it emissions checked before it comes back on. I surely don't want to have to put in a secondary air thingamagigger just to get my plates in March He also told me to look under the seat or under the rocker panel for the sensor making the airbag light go on. With my luck that'll be another grand Needless to say I've been surfing the net looking at yaris and fit & xd. I'd love a civic si but not enough money to put down on one yet. Who knows, maybe I'll win the lotto.....
