This wasn't up at Jan's was it?  Every time I've dropped my cars off up 
there either the Gas Caps are missing or an emblem.  Never fails.

Subject: return of the scirocco, mixed feelings, and theft


  so i get a call from the mechanic today at work. now, first off, let
me say thank you for all your ideas and insights as to why my car
stumbled and died. now, as for the reason, it wasn't electrical or
oxygen sensor related. it was fuel related, however. more specifically,
it was out of gas. :/
  okay, okay i know there's a thing called a gas gauge and i should
read it, which i did. problem is that either the instrument cluster
and/or the fuel gauge sender is bad. it still showed a quarter of tank
when bone dry. i didn't know better, but excuses are like assholes:
everybody has one. at least they replaced a badly oil soaked air filter
(which was to be replaced the weekend the car conked out, anyway).
  the thing that pisses me off, though, is that while it was sitting
outside at the shop, someone jerkoff came by and stole the 'scirocco'
emblem off the back of the car. it needed replaced anyway, but what
pisses me off slightly more is that the grommets are ruined because of
it. what REALLY pisses me off is that had someone just asked for one, i
have a number of BETTER ones that i would have freely given away. stupid
people.
