Just a Bit of a RANT!!!!

So our little VW Bug has cost us LOTS of bucks

in the last few months.. We have a place in B.R.

where the guys are great and I think VERY trustworthy...

and every problem that came up with our little car that has

over 180,000 miles on it, was taken care of...

until it started to stall - they couldn't figure it out

and suggested we take it to a dealer...

I am going to make a lonnggg story a bit shorter...

we drove the car to the dealer - about an hour and a half away...
they told us what was probably wrong with it
800.00 dollars worth of probably....
we took it to our guys and they said
well, never heard of that before,
but we've heard of stranger things with diesels
so they did the work for half the price....

BUT that  didn't fix the problem -

we went back....

STILL didn't fix it...

we would have to come back a 3rd time...

BUT they were sure it would be fine to take to Canada

over the Labor Day Weekend....

 

We went home---

Bob started mowing -

I needed to run to the store...

and on the way home....

my little bug died.....

Thankfully I was only a mile and a half from home

no way to reach Bob ...

so - I started walking

and thinking....

and saying - in my head -

well, maybe even out LOUD since no one was around...

some BAD words

to that Volkswagen dealer...

(we were about to order a Pssaatt (sp??)

I wanted someone CLOSE to be available for service!!!

 

Bob and I drove back up to the car- called "our guys"

who called the wrecker...

that came and took our little Bug away...

 

WELL - the next day Bob headed out...

to our buddies...where we had the car towed

he called and  told me that the engine BLEW!!?!

and said he was at  the Chevrolet dealer...

and said come on up here....

(which I did PRONTO....)

 

SOOOOOO

what only happens in a blue moon...

we bought a new car....

2 days ago....

we picked up our Chevy Malibu....
the VW was a great car...
we just kept it too long
(the guys at the repair shop in B.R.
bought it from us and already have a new engine in it)
My daddy worked at Chevrolet ~
General Motors pretty much
fed me, clothed me and kept a roof over my head
for the first 40 years of my life....

and it feels good to look out the window
and see that Chevrolet insignia on my car....
