very good show considering the weather. the passat got 2nd place. the jetta won class. and a very nice jetta is was. can't say i care all that much about placing as i didn't build the car. so the only pride is in owning it.
now more on the car and the weekend. GREAT weather Saturday, then...what a change. 10-20mph gusts, rain, and 50's for the whole show except the last 10 mintes...literally.
so i go to cut out of the parking lot and...sputter....sputter. my coil goes out. so much for modern technology. 18k miles on the thing. BUT, thank god for modern programs. VW towed it 30 miles for free. fixed it first thing Monday morning under warrantee. the dealer didn't even say a thing about the modifications. and only lost a couple of hours from getting out of town and back to ATL.
BUT!!!! i am 2 hours outside of JAX and POP!!!! their is something sticking above my hood that shouldn't be there. i will have to get pics, but my ABD grill is sticking staight up. ??? pull over and somehow the bottom of the grill must have caught air or something and lifted itself out of the airdamn, snapped in half and stuck straigh up. had to rip it off of the front end and carry on.
then a 2 hour back ofr 5 miles in the middle of nowwhere.
other than that, a great trip. at least i am not in iraq. can't complain. thank god or whoever for our troops.
