Road trip preps

[vwdaun at yahoo.com (Daun Yeagley)]

Ok, this is going to sound a little harsh, and for that I
apologize.  But answer me this:  How long has this car been
off the road, or are you currently daily driving it?

If the answer to the second part of the question is no, and
you have a month before taking off to the wilds of
Alaska...  I would strongly encourage you to find / use a
newer, more reliable car.  You would likely need to have
your Scirocco up and running *now* to work out the
inevitable bugs that it WILL have from sitting so long.

Just going on plenty of past experience....
