I’m about to pay off my car soon, I’m pretty excited. It looks like this pro blogging thing is helping me make that extra so I can pay it off in September or October. I really wish I could pay it off in September and maybe get the title for my birthday, wouldn’t that be neat?

I love Volkswagens and I love the Jettas (before the redesign in ‘05). My Jetta is the cutest car in the world. Sure, I’d like it to be grey, but when you buy a car the day they come out you get what colors they have. It’s black, so every scratch and all the dirt shows up really well. So wonderful.

My car has been making some noises ever since I got it. There’s this noise in the front where when you turn the wheel and back up it POPs and it’s kinda scary. But it’s been doing it for years, so I guess it’s nothing. And the tires are expensive, they go fast. It’s like $900 to replace them every 30k miles. The arm rest has fallen apart a couple of times, but now that my short little warranty is over, I have to pay like $160 to fix it and it’s just not worth it. Maybe once it’s paid off.

I totally recommend buying a used Volkswagen. There’s so many perks over buying new. Let someone else pay the price to ship it here. And let them go through the first year of stuff going wrong. I think they put parts on the cars that don’t work so well and then the after market parts are better. Is that backwards? And I love the keys. The laser cut keys with the chip inside help to make sure no one can just make a copy of your key. The new designs are ugly, so you’re better off buying used cars nowadays.

But make sure you go to a Volkswagen dealer, because other dealerships won’t put the care into inspecting the cars like VW will. Their techs are trained on Volkswagens so they know them better than anyone else.

I have a dream that one day the whole world will ride around in VW cars!
