anyone ever heard of volkswagen?

I now drive a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta.  I'm completely smitten with it.  We bonded, my Jetta and I, within minutes of me driving off the lot.  In fact, when we left the lot at 4:02pm on Thursday the car had 28 miles on it.  By Saturday at 4:00pm, it had 205 miles on it.  I had to show it around town.  You know, all of the hang out spots.

All I can see in this photo is the little bit of schmutz on the letter E. 
I have to go out and clean that off, now.
Of course, it doesn't bother me enough to take another photo.

I've had three cars in my life - a Ford Mustang, a Toyota Spyder MR2 and now my new VW.  I loved my Mustang (Molly) and my Spyder (Kashi)...but my new car is by far my favorite.  That's right.  It's that good.  And the Germans aren't even paying me to say that.  YET.

Now this begs the question....Why has no one told me about Volkswagen before now?  What kind of friends let me walk around in my German carless life?  I mean what's a simple, "Hey, Paige - you know what make of car would be really good for you?  VOLKSWAGEN."  See...that would have taken five seconds.  But OH, NO.  No one bothered.  People just don't care anymore.

My new bff.  I wonder what his name will be...

However, after the fact I've had no less than fifteen people say, "Oh, yeah...that Jetta suits you."  Well, thanks.  Thanks a heap.  I know that now. 

But I forgive you.  I know I have to learn these things on my own.  It'll make me stronger.  I'll be fine. 

Now I know.

And I might be converted for life.

I'm a VW believer now.
