Voodoo won't be out of the shop in time to make the trip.
We COULD get the part -- for three times its fair price. Humph. I'd rather wait and get it reasonably than pay that much.
And, because of Jeeves' less-than-stellar brakes, my mom has suggested I rent a car instead of driving the Fasty. I think he'd do fine. She doesn't. But if I can avoid putting 200 miles onto a car I own, why not? I'm going to see about getting a Rabbit or a Jetta. :D
And a manual. God damn, do I hate automatics. B|
I had to see Voodoo on a lift with all of her guts on the floor. IT WAS TRAUMATIZING.

Oh, Volkswagen, never change. If you aren't making the collective world go "WTF?!" you're doing it wrong. X3

released from rehab (WOTTA ROCK STAR!)fixed soon.Also, I am confident you'll figure out how to handle an automatic. If I can switch between standard and automatic daily (or at least, I could when I was 17), you can figure this out. You've got more experience driving than I do. :3 It'll be fine.
