You have the advantage of having no rail or port cut, that's for certain. In some businesses, that makes all the difference.

I should point out that under IBR rules you can discharge those loans.

The trouble is that it takes 25 years (10 if you're working in government positions, k-12 teachers included) and is counted as income when it's discharged (isn't if you're working in the aforementioned government position).

Odd...I'd think there would've been an oil pressure problem if that was the case.

I drive a '96 Passat TDI, the problem you're describing hits at like 200k miles, not 75. That's some fucked up shit right there.

What blew on the motor? Sounds like someone didn't do a lick of upkeep on that thing before they gave it back. 7500 miles a year isn't a heck of a lot, comparatively.
