car trouble

it’s a good thing we renewed our AAA membership this year because with the cold weather, our old car battery kept dying, which was getting really annoying. we finally got around to getting a brand new battery… only to have it die a week later eventhough nothing was left on! ofcourse we got worried about some more serious problem, and so we brought the jetta in for a diagnosis.

at the end of the (next) day, the volkswagen people still couldn’t find a reason for the drained battery… with only a working diagnosis that the cold temperatures might have caused the metal in the blah blah to constrict and cause a short circuit. hmmm. hopefully it will start warming up…

    Let us know if you ever need to borrow our car – we only use it about twice a week.
