My car is not fixed. As I was driving to work yesterday, at the same spot that the steam originally started up, my car started steaming again and it wasn't just alittle bit, my whole window was fogged by the time I got to the office. Looked at the coolant. Yup almost empty again. So filled it up again and called the shop and told them we were going to drop it off on the way home. So on my way to the shop at the end of they day, I thought the ride would go pretty smoothly since we had just filled her up. First off, I hit every red light between the office and the shop..7 lights, that never happens. Then when I'm at the 2nd to last light, my car starts steaming again, but not thru the vents but out of my hood! What looked like billows of steam pouring thru my hood, plus my temperature light started flashing, boy this can't be good. I finally get my car into the shop and parked. I tell the mechanic that has been working on my car what it was doing, he shook his head and said Oh Boy. Oh Boy? That coming from a mechanic cannot be good. Then he just had to mention that VW's are a pain...yeah just rub it in why don't ya.
So Justin came to pick me up and we went out to dinner at Red Robin and I got a fruity cocktail with lots of alcohol.
Thankfully we did find out that Justin's car problem is covered under the extended warranty that they got with the car, so at least we don't have to pay for that.

Yeah i have a co-worker who used to have a Jetta, and so knows of a VW specialist. So maybe after this problem or if it doesn't get fixed after this round I'll bring it to them.
Yup. Ditto on what Donna said. Totally unprofessional. Reminds me of when you see those roadside crews (that take months/years to fix anything) look at a pothole and go, "Yup. Looks like a big hole."
