'00 Volkswagen Jetta, 2.0l 175k, when I push on the gas pedal, the car moves but doesn't seem to catch speed. The car revs but builds up speed gradually as opposed to going fast like it used to (like an hour ago, lol)

If you have a manual trans your clutch may be slipping

Yes. If engine RPMs go up like "riding" a clutch when foot if off clutch it's slipping and will need replacement - soon BTW!
