Guess what I got!
This...isn't ours...






But tomorrow at 5 o'clock-ish, this one will be:



Ours is still in a locked warehouse in shrinkwrap so we can't pick it up 'til tomorrow, but they sent us home in an identical one in blue 'til then.

Yeah. I'd say I did pretty good on the birthday present this year. You? Buh-bye Explorer -- hello Jetta! My very first sunroof ever. I am in love.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



do i hear roadtrip?

Here's another shot of the loaner. What we pick up tomorrow is the 2003 Volkswagon Jetta GLS in platinum grey.

CONGRATS!!!!

Thats so cool... I hope that you enjoy it!!! And you did do good this year for a birthday present !!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention -- Volkswagon now does a FOUR year, 50,000 mile warranty. With the luck we've had on our last two vehicles, that sealed that deal right then and there...

Fun! Know what? I bought a little Cabrio convertible last year, and it's the best! I love VW's.
Wanna see my "KittyMobile" I had before? Painted it with stars and moons and mushrooms...

peace n' love baby!

Congrats on the new car! My first was a VW and I wouldn't mind owning one again some time.

OH MY GOODNESS! Congratulations on the new car, you guys!! I can't wait until we can buy a new one... I bet you're super excited!! *hugs*

Darn! Now I can't make fun of you as a tree hugging enviromentalist wacko liberal driving a SUV. ;) Congrats on the new car! I hear Volkswagens are good cars. I wouldn't mind having one.

You can find the official rules for "shotgun" on the Internet, but I know that the driver has the final say. And the "shotgun" gets to control the radio.

At least you didn't have a tree fall on your SUV!
*snort*

Sweeet. Welcome to the Jetta family. We got one in June. A 2002 GLS TDI.

It's definitely a sweet ride. Actually we own 3 VW's. The 2002 Jetta, a 2000 NewBeetle TDI, and a 1973 Super Beetle.

Oh and the 4yr 50,000 service plan rawks!!

Yvonne, don't you dare mess up her car. I know where you live. HEH HEH!

Congrats Robyn, welcome to the VW family!!
I traded my Expedition in on a New Beetle GLS TDI, I love it!!! Especially the diesel fuel!!

Wow a new car! I love a new car (of course I haven't had one in 7 yrs because the toyota just keeps on going). What a nice birthday! Turning 30 is working out for you.

Ohh man - I am SO jealous!

¤ ¤ credit: Kate | 11.21.02 at 09:42 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

AWESOME! I am so in love with my moonroof. You're going to love it!

¤ ¤ credit: erika | 11.21.02 at 10:38 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

Now THAT is a birthday present. =) Congrats on the new car! Gotta love that new car smell. Living in Fla, you needed a moonroof! I only have mine closed in our cars when it is raining & even then I leave it open so I can atleast see the glass still.

I'm so jealous-I need my new car smell fix. *breathing deeply* Happy birthday to you!

Congrats on the new car. We took my friend Ginne's Jetta on a roadtrip a few weeks ago....what a smooth ride. I've been driving the same honda forever....maybe I'll get a new one soon. Love the color by the way.

¤ ¤ credit: Stacy | 11.21.02 at 11:27 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

Congrats on the new car! I've heard many nice things about Jettas.

¤ ¤ credit: Geri | 11.21.02 at 11:49 AM | link--this ¤ ¤

Sweet ride! When are you gonna put hydraulics on it?? ;')

¤ ¤ credit: jimnice | 11.21.02 at 02:07 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Hey kids, congrats. Love the color! My first car was a VW Beetle I shared with your Popeye, Robyn. Lots of fun memories. Can you use that great gas mileage to come home and visit {hint}?

Don't get moon burn, Todd.

Nice Car Robyn. ;) Love your moms comment about moon burn. hehehe

¤ ¤ credit: nastybastard | 11.21.02 at 03:36 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

ooo nice ride. and another great thing about jettas is that it's hard to steal the tires! they have a special shaped lugnut that you can't remove without the special adapter that comes with the car.

so my birthday will be coming up next september.. i'd like a new car :)

¤ ¤ credit: theresa | 11.21.02 at 04:12 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Wow, nice car. Now, how much money did you make showing your yams on the internet??

¤ ¤ credit: JE | 11.21.02 at 04:43 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

You should have gotten a Beetle- I love them! I have a VW transporter Van- for camping- but I soooo want a Beetle!

¤ ¤ credit: LisaC | 11.21.02 at 05:32 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

The Diesel's RULE. We liked my New Beetle TDI so much I made my wife get a Jetta TDI. That way she would leave mine alone when I traveled.

¤ ¤ credit: whistler | 11.21.02 at 05:54 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Oh - SWEET! I looooove the Jetta! And a sunroof is a must - I will never own a car without one! CONGRATULATIONS!

¤ ¤ credit: Christine | 11.21.02 at 06:20 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

So uhhh, if I ever come to visit, I know where I'm staying. ;) Mmmmm, Volkswagen.

¤ ¤ credit: ste | 11.21.02 at 09:10 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Lisa, I would have if I was still single -- but Todd will be driving this to work every day. He didn't want to be "the guy in the Bug", and I can understand that. ;-) Not that there's anything wrong with that...

¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 11.21.02 at 09:22 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Wow... Very nice... I wish I could get a new car for my birthday next week... :(

Congrats!

¤ ¤ credit: Zaldor | 11.21.02 at 09:34 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

Congratz Girl. That's awesome. hope you both have many fun rides in her.
