So the wife says she wants a different car. She was in the minivan for the past 5 years, a 1999 7 pass Olds Silouhette. The 7 pass was great, then we had Jorja and suddenly needed 8 pass, enter the Suburban. Anyway, Jorja will be 4 in a month and she kind of realized that she was still driving a minivan that could not hold everyone.
I pushed a car or two her way but on Friday she said she wanted a Jetta (loves the Germans) so we go Jetta hunting. Find a few but then she sees a Golf that she likes. I hadn't even pointed it out, I though she would hate it. Much to my happiness it is a VR6 with a 5 speed and the full on GLX model. She didn't have a clue what motor or anything is in this thing, just that it is nice, it is silver and it has a sunroof. I didn't let on that it is a little pocket rocket, it kind of even took me by surprise, it is alot faster than I remembered these things being.
It is stock and awfully utilitarian looking but goes like snot and handles great. Needs tint and wheels if you ask me....and maybe an exhaust...and a cold air intake....
