German Engineers I'd love to slap for $500, Alex!

Jim, remember, admitting you have a problem is the firt step to recovery. 
And we'll support you...

My day had it's own fun beginning : Triple ring on the phone ( long 
distance) "Hey Whassup" (it's the firstborn, up in Barrie) In my best 
teacher/mother voice..."What did you do" "Umm, do you have a spare set of 
keys for the truck?" Yep, Barrie trip #2. And did I opt to fix the belt on 
the POS? No way, snagged the country mix from the POS, into the TDI, and off 
I went. Just got back actually. So Jim, it's a good thing I wasn't at your 
place. And the brakes on the Cabby still aren't done, grrrr.

And yes it is nice to have one you just turn the key in and it runs. But 
I've cursed enough at that one too.

We do it because we secretly love to punish ourselves, I thought that was 
clearly stated in the owners manuals. GL in the hunt, maybe head to the 
dealer for a TDI Jetta wagon...
