Lemon

Well, my 2000 VW Jetta's in the shop again. This time it's the power steering rack. It leaks, no, it drains hydraulic fluid. It only takes ten minutes to empty completely. This car never ceases cause aggravation and expenses. Since I've lived in Ithaca, I've had to replace both front bearings, both front control arms, a brake light switch (after driving around for a month without brake lights), front and rear brakes, a belt tensioner, and, get this, THREE oil pans. And before I even got to Ithaca, I had to have the transmission completely rebuilt at 50,000 mile! What a piece of junk!

I wish I could sue the guy who sold it to me, but sadly he's was one of my closest friends. So, as payback, I'm posting this picture of him. Do you think this post will cause him the same amount discomfort the car has caused me over the years? I doubt it. If he doesn't apologize to me soon, I have a few pictures I could post that would. (Yes, Alex, it's a threat.)
