So long, fair Jetta *sniff* *sniff*

After 15 years and over 100,000 miles, Willy and his first love parted ways. She was good to him and he pampered her for all those years, but she lost her cool one day and he just had to let her go.

So, yeah, her A/C died and those of you who know Willy know that he can't live without A/C. You can't really blame him--doing a 1/2 hour commute in 80-90 degree sauna isn't a lot of fun. She did also need four new tires and some other minor work, all of which would have cost us a few thousand dollars to fix. Instead, we opted to make a couple of thousand off the Craig's List buyer who gave her a new home.

Thanks for the years of loyal service! You'll be remembered fondly :)

OH NO! SAY IT ISN'T SO! She served you well (and me the few times I drove her). May she be as happy in her new home as she was in her old one.

@Gabe - Did he really do that?! Hahahahaha!

That's pretty funny... both the post and Gabe's comment. So what's the replacement car?

Man, 30 minute commute? Crazy!

@frisky: no replacement so far. He's going on a blind date with a certified used Jetta TDI soon though so we'll see ;)
