Something like that.

Oh well, no worries, I could be stuck driving something far worse.

Edit, Holly could be driving something worse, I'm quite content driving the Q7

I think I may be done with Jetta now. VW have come back to say the harness won't be ready til Feb 28th, they'll then need to put the car back together, so I'm guessing March 1st or 2nd.

We dropped the car off on Dec 23rd, by the time March rolls around it will be about 70 days without the car. I'm checking into lemon laws for Texas since that's where we bought the car. Holly has told VW since doesn't want the car back, they're supposed to call her today to discuss the situation.

Holly loves her Jetta too, for her to get to this point is bad.
