Puppy sitting a ~12 week old Golden puppy from one of my puppy classes tonight. My boss (head trainer) made jokes to the owners saying that they'd come home to a fully trained dog. Well, I taught her the ever so useful command of "shake" (proper paw and everything). My job here is done.
But seriously, maybe 30 reps total and this pup was offering it very enthusiastically. Smart as a whip. Even rang her bell to go potty for (what I was told) the first time ever tonight!
Puppies just keep getting smarter!

It's not unique. For the small displacement I'm impressed with the stock power, though. Sounds awful stock, though, on most cars they have it in.
Soon?
Never driven the VR6 with a turbo, but I like the power stock just fine - almost can't imagine how great it is with a turbo. And an obnoxious BOV.
Miata people never understand what I mean when I say they would be PERFECT if they sounded like the VR6.

Went for a lovely walk this evening, and my dog was a ROCKSTAR. Very crowded walking trails, crowded beach, people on bikes, rollerblades, lots of other dogs that she practically brushed shoulders with, and one idiot that just dropped his leash and let his dog come run up to us... and Juno just said "no big deal" to all of it and just sauntered on. She is so d@mn dog reactive when she is on leash so this was a spectacular showing. She was the best behaved pooch there p) and actually acted like the Canine Good Citizen she is supposed to be!

Good. Now buy a B5 S4 and feel my pain as well.
The stock leathers? They're cracked and they are terrible for hard cornering. Plus the heating element in the driver's side is broken, which is extremely inconvenient for my cold butt. I had Sparcos and harnesses that I sold with the intention of getting seats I actually liked. I've never had a problem with alcantara. I think it's awesome. The two Sparcos, two Corbeaus, brackets, and harnesses are $750, so why not? I want them and they're cheap, so I don't really consider it a waste of money. Less weight is less weight. My car doesn't have rear seats, the spare, rear wiper, wiper fluid reservoir, armrest, and there's no sound deadening under the carpet. It really isn't stripped. It looks full interior, and the cage pretty much offsets any weight reduction that was gained by removing everything. I lived without the AC, but I just can't do it again. I'm considering deleting power steering since the pump is dying anyway, but I'm not sure. VRs at least have the option of deleting just power steering without also deleting AC - 1.8Ts don't. Probably won't make a decision until the pump actually decides to die, lol.
Mk4s don't even come with a 2.0T. They came with the 1.8T, which is even worse.

Aaaand it doesn't have a wimpy 2.0T. It has a VR6.
Don't read a book by it's cover... or a Jetta by it's "cavalier" exterior.
