And I came home in a Volkswagon Beetle 2007.
Now -- there has got to be a story here!
We were a group of 5. We left very early and drove an hour to the Fraser Valley Quilt show and spent the morning at a very nice show. I shopped at the Merchants mall -- the S.E.X. was pretty good. I bought some wonderful fabric ( I don't have the pictures because they are in the trunk of my car). We went off to lunch and another fabric store. On stopping the window on the passenger side needed to be rolled up. We all here this terrible crack, and the window didn't move. So I play with the button a bit and the window rolled down and stayed down! So we shopped a bit more!
It was a very breezy ride home. I got back to town and took the car to my Volkswagon dealer. He said it could not be fixed today, it would be 1 1/2 hours and then the driver side window would need to be done as well, because if the one had gone the other would not be far behind. Apparently the "plastic" clips in the 2002 Jetta will do this and they have since been replaced with metal clips. He suggested they could put plastic on the window and I could come back next week and it could be fixed. I said - I could put plastic on the window, but I can't come back until Friday because I am working 7 AM until 7 PM and then a night shift and I can't drop the car off and pick it up and get to work across town.
So I made an appointment for Friday morning and told them to put the plastic on the window. I then sat outside in the sun for a few minutes while the work was being done. The poor boy must have felt sorry for me -- I saw the car in the shop with the window taped up with plastic. It looked terrible. When I came back in to get my car he told me to leave the car over the weekend, he would do both windows Monday and I could pick the car up after 7:30 Monday night. And he would give me a loaner car for the weekend!! What a nice, sweet boy. So I have a 2007 Beetle, with a sun roof for the weekend!!
I left my bag in the trunk, with my camera, so I can't show any quilt show photo's. But it was a good show and I bought some great fabric.

You didn't mention the colour! No matter - what ever colour punch buggy no punch back! (Carole punches Pam on the arm) Lucky you're not visiting us, my daughter would punch you! lol My daughter has wanted a Beetle since she was 3 years old. She also asked me if I could teach her to drive because she wanted to be able to go places on her own. At 4 years old, she actually asked for a beetle with lots of stickers on it. She's something else that kid! lol You must be having fun driving it around! Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteSounds like fun! I think Beetles are cute and they just make driving fun.
ReplyDeleteNow that is service! I've heard of dealerships who loan cars...
ReplyDeleteSweet! Hopefully, you will be able to handle the switch back to your old car without coming back with your own brand new car.
Way to go...new car for the weekend. I'm looking forward to the pictures of the lovely fabric purchases. I picked up a pattern, 2 pieces of fabric and a folky pincushion from the quilt show.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. Did you leave the fabric in the car at the Body Shop???
ReplyDeleteWe have a beetle, a bit older than yours, and have a LOT of fun in her. Hope you're having LOTS OF FUN too!
