The best worst car ever! Wheezy is our bright blue Volkswagen Jetta. It is a piece of shit, but it has a radio. It's hard to say good or bad. O wait, there's more evidence to put on the table in this trial. Wheezy loves to break down, or just break, and people like to fix the poor boy by just adding to electrical tape to the jigsaw puzzle of randomness under its hood. The latest thing to go was our water pump. This meant that the engine would over-heat. A lot of heat really isn't good for the adhesive on tape. If you guessed that the tape came off everything and then EVERYTHING broke...you are right. We just kept filling the water pump at first - the engine would start steaming or the cap would pop off from the pressure and we'd have to pull over and let it cool/add new water. However, Jess and I went to run errands the other day and Wheezy just couldn't take it. The venting pipes fell apart into multiple pieces, the steering fluid pump thing fell apart, and the water was spraying all over under the hood. Thanks electrical tape and thank you South African mechanics.
Yay for adding a new car in our budget proposal for 2012!
