Woo Hoo! I get my car back tomorrow and I can't be more excited. It's funny how, when you go out to buy a car, you think, "Now I don't really need all those silly extras they want to add to jack up the price of the car, do I?" But then you somehow end up driving that very car off the lot when it's all said and done. Yep, that would be me.
Okay, so why is my "bells n' whistles" car gone you ask? It's part of an emissions test that VW is doing on cars that have been used by the average driver (I fooled them). They take my car, give me a loaner full of gas, then when my cars returned, it will have a full tank of gas, a new bath and a $250 check sitting in it for me!
I thought this was a great way to get some extra cash, being as I am unemployed and all. So the loaner came, and you'd think it would be a top of the line model so I'd want to run out to my nearest dealership & trade my car in for the latest & greatest bells and whistles. But ah, this is where VW missed the boat (I should probably let them know...maybe I could benefit from such news). Anyhow, it's a bottom of the line model of my car, and it has taught me that I do indeed use all those things I thought I didn't have a need for when I purchased the car. (Oh, and did I mention it reeks of cigarettes?)
So in all due honesty, this 2 week test was okay for the perks, but I can't wait to get in MY car, sit on my leather seats, dock my IPod, turn up my quality sound system, roll back my sunroof and turn my butt warmers on (I wonder if I can run the AC while they're on...I'll let you know).
