Now a real blog . So , got the car yesterday . Total amount of repairs , with the labor included , about $13K Seriously , they should have just totaled the damned thing . So , the car feels as good as it ever did . 4 new tires will help with that . I guess I didn't realize just how badly I needed new ones . The only issue I have with anything is driving home last night I found out my headlights are way out of whack . Like the low beams are showing maybe 10 feet ahead of the car . So I need to get them realigned , but I think I'll just take it to a local shop & have it done . How much can that cost ? I miss the good old days when I could just fix some of the minor things myself . Maybe I'll look online & see how hard it is .
But I can say that yesterday , about half way on my drive into work , I realized just how much I missed my little VW . I missed having a car that handles exceptionally well . I missed having a car that is sooo easy to park . I really missed getting close to 30 mpg too . So hopefully I'll avoid all guard rails from now on .
