So this past week I took my Jetta into the dealership for it's 85,000 mile service (keep in mind that the car is barely more than two years old). I was a big service to begin with and then they found out that my water pump was leaking and had to be replaced. $1,000 later I left the dealership and came home. Heather and I decided that it would be a good idea if we switched cars to minimize the mileage. We switched cars for a day then this morning we decided that we should trade one of them in, so that we could reduce our payments. I went into the dealership and was able to trade in the Civic and left with another Jetta. I had to give her a German name because that is where she came from. I came up with "Gretchen". She is a white '02 Jetta with low miles and the best part of all is that she is a stick! Both Heather and I have missed driving a stick so this will be a welcome change.
I was surprised how clean the car was for an '02
Oh how fun it is to drive again with a stick- It's the only real way to have a car! You are just so much more connected to your car- Gretchen and I are already "one".
