50,000!

Even our clock says pm, this morning the odometer on our 2008 VW Jetta GLI finally went over 50,000 miles

It’s been such a wonderful car. Here’s to the next 50,000 miles!Β πŸ˜€πŸ™ŒπŸ‘β€οΈ

We got our Jetta back!

We picked up our Jetta from the repair shop this morning. It’s been in the shop for the last couple weeks to get the check engine light looked at. Turns out while it was in, there were a handful of recalls that needed to be addressed. And that’s what took so long…

In the meantime, we got to drive this new 2017 Jetta with all the bells and whistles…

It was pretty nice. But I really like ours just fine…

It’s good to have it back. πŸ™‚

Bad news. Good news.

There aren’t very many things I miss about living downtown. Not many at all. I thought there would be more. But there just aren’t. One of the few things I miss is the ability to have Jet’s Pizza delivered. It’s kind of a weird thing to miss. But I just really love their pizza. And there really isn’t a Jet’s close to us in Northside. It’s kind of a bummer. But what are you going to do? The check engine light came on in our car on the way to work at the end of last week. So we had to run our Jetta out to the dealership so they could work on getting that issue resolved. That’s the bad news. The good news, ahem, the REALLY GOOD NEWS… There is a Jet’s Pizza just down the road from the VW dealership! So on the way home, we stopped and picked up some delicious Jet’s Pizza and their outstanding ranch dressing for dipping!!!

We started with some delicious Jet’s bread…

And there it is…

An eight-corner Jet’s masterpiece. Genifer got pepperoni and onions on her half. And I got sausage and mushrooms. So good. So good. Soo good. I love their thick pan crust pizza. It’s just really amazing. I’ve missed it some much! Hopefully, this will hold me over until the next time we find ourselves by a Jet’s Pizza. πŸ™‚

45,000.

This morning our 2008 VW GLI hit 45,000 miles

Not too bad for a 2008. πŸ™‚

We have our Jetta back!

We picked up our Jetta today from CARSTAR Collision Care of Southgate

So clean and sparkly. They did a really nice job with exterior. You wouldn’t even know that it got demolished when some jackass rear-ended Genifer over in Kentucky back in the middle of June…

This is what it looked like the evening after it happened…

And a few days later when they were picking it up to take it in to the body shop…

In the meantime, we had been driving this 2016 Nissan. It was a pretty nice car. Definitely bigger than the Jetta, which worked out nicely for our move. And it had bells and whistles that they didn’t have all the way back in 2008 like a rearview camera and push-button start…

It was fun to drive a new car but I don’t think I would want to own it. It just wasn’t the Jetta. All I know is, it was nice to look out the bedroom window this morning and finally see our Jetta sitting out in front of our house…

I really love that dang car. And once again all is right with the world. πŸ™‚
