I've gotta piece of shit car...



Hi, I would like you to meet my car. Well, this isn't my car, but mine is similar. It's a 2003 VW Jetta. I always wanted a VW, ever since I was a kid and my dad had VW Bugs. But this car... this car hates me. It has always hated me. Just observe all the ways it has hated me since I bought it brand new with about 4 miles on it...

* The stereo is a piece of shit. The AM radio never works and the speakers cut out at higher volumes.

* Twice within the first six months I had broken windshields.

* One Friday after work my car wouldn't shift out of park. Apparently the little indicator that tells the car your foot is on the brake, so you can shift out of park, was broken.

* I had a screw in my tire.

* A city lawnmower hit my car, cracking the windshield, and denting both doors on one side.

* The struts are shot.

* And yesterday, when it was -9 with -30 windchills, and I was 40 miles from home, my driver side window decided to freeze, and fall of it's track. Into the door. And not come back up.

Do you know how cold it gets when you are driving 60 miles an hour in -9 degrees weather, and your drivers side window is down?

Really, really, really COLD!

Hey, you know anyone who wants to buy a 2003 VW Jetta???

Me neither.
