My Pumpkin Turned Into a Coach

It's a long, sad story but my 2000 VW Jetta has turned into a 2005 Ford Focus and a trip to Vegas! My husband very generously decided to buy me a car. See : "I've Got Wheels" July 13, 2007. Almost immediately problems started. See : "True Love Never Runs Smooth" July 17, 2007. After two weeks in the shop we had the Jetta back for two days when another problem surfaced. When the headlights were turned on a wierd noise eminated from the radio. The sales manager at the Ford dealership told us that the Jetta that they had sold us was "a piece of sh*t" (his words) and that they would take it back and get us into "a decent car".By the time we were finished we had a car that is five years newer, a better interest rate, three days and two nights in Vegas and lifetime service with free oil changes. The Focus has all of the bells and whistles that the Jetta had except we traded the sun roof for heated seats. After all, we do have to live with Alberta winters! And the Focus has a CD player - the Jetta only had a tape deck. The Focus runs so quietly that when it is idling you're not even sure it is running. I'm sure we're going to be very happy together.
