My black VW had that mirror finish
for about 6 months.

Then I hit a curb, hit the undercarriage
of the car, which for some unknown reason
caused the side impact airbag to deploy.

No damage to the body, but the car had to
go to the shop to have the seat/airbag replaced.

The shop had the car for a month, waiting for an
airbag to be delivered from Russia. (?!) I don't
know what I was thinking, but I left the car with
the shop the whole time.

When I went to pick up the car (remember, it was only 6 months old - had only 3 miles on it when I bought it)
the guy drove it up and it had severe body damage from
one end to another. They were going to return it to me like nothing happened!!! The damage was from the car jockeys in their parking lots.

Long story short - they repaired the damage, but they gave the entire car the worst wax job. So it is just a little cloudy looking in intense direct sunlight.

Uggghhh! After the tow truck dropped and destroyed my first VW, I didn't need this.

OMG!!!!!
I would have had their heads!!!
What an ordeal!
I'm so sorry.....

Lucretia and I were rear-ended by an HBO Van..awhile back...
I was sitting at an exit in Freeport...waiting for traffic to clear..
I looked in my rearview mirror, and I saw him coming at us at a fast clip....nowhere to escape...

BANG!!!!!
He slams into us....
I went WILD!!!!
I got out of that car and slammed her door so hard that car was rocking!!!
I marched over to him,and proceeded to tell him all about his ancestry...

Lucretia had been "totaled" (sp?) (considered a total loss) by our Insurance company...
The damage WAS heavy (to the body), but her frame was intact..

We "bought" her back, Mr.B jazzed her all up..she's real pretty now..
I will take a picture of her "for real" tomorrow to show you..

What make of VW was your lovely black one?
Jetta?
