Back in 2004 I went on vacation and came home and my hubby who wasn't my hubby at the time bought a car. He bought a Volkswagon Jetta. He was very excited about it cause it was cool, slick, hipster and did I say cool? Unfortunately, that gleam in his eye went away fast. A year or two later a head gasket blew costing a ton of money and we hadn't even paid off the car. Then the warranty people refused to honor their warranty (wish I knew a lawyer cause this fits the definition of lemon). And oh every other month something falls off or breaks. In all my car driving and owning years I have never known a bigger piece of crap than this car. Besides being the spawn of hell because surely this car was driven to hell and its angry about something that stupid car a major pain in our pain in our ass. Not only does the stupid car break all the time and is costly to repair it always seems to wait until the most inopportune time to breakdown and make us worry about money. Well no more I say! Our relationship with that lemon not to mention gigantic piece of shit car is now over. The car broke down again this week and we took it in to be repair and the hub picked it up today and didn't even make it home before it overheated again. He takes it back to the place and the mechanic says well I guess something else is broke. Yeah, you think?? I am sooooo tired of the laundry list of things that is wrong with this dumb car. I wouldn't have fixed that stupid car this time around if there where other things wrong with it. I totally find it unfair that the mechanic is charging us for the fix and later tells us there other things wrong. Can I sue?? The hub even tried to turn it in during that cash for clunkers and they wouldn't let us because it was one stupid point over their requirements. 1 point people!!!! If ever there was a clunker this is the car. My brother works for GM so we can get a discount. I have a feeling the hub probably doesn't want a GM, Chrysler or Jeep which are the three places we can get a discount. But I say American, American American and down with the Germans. I may be okay with the Japanese cause they seem to make shit that don't break but never ever will I get a German car. So stick it Volkswagon! Stick your stupid ass Jetta car where the sun don't shine and double, triple stick it with your warranties. And damn you for making me have to look at finances on a Friday night and make me worry about money and if I can make another car payment. Crap! We have to look for a new car!!!!
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
