Polt-car-geist?



I think sexyblackjetta may have a polt-car-geist, or may be cursed or something. It's been nothing but trouble since I bought it.

First, buying the damn thing took about a month and a half because of confusion with the bank, confusion with VW who had the lein, etc., etc., etc. I ranted complained about that here. Let's just say that the experience sort of soured my happiness with getting a new-ish car.

Then I found out that the extended warranty that was supposed to be part of the deal was actually a dealer warranty that can be transfered to other owners, but is only valid at the dealer where it was purchased ... about 300 miles away.

Then I took it in for its 60K mile service. One of the things that needed to be fixed was the center arm rest. Not surprisingly, they didn't have the part so I had to take it in again to get that fixed, after they ordered the part.

Then the hubby got in a little fender bender several weeks ago, which is finally being fixed now.

Then one of the center caps, which I had bought because three of them were missing when I bought the car, disappeared so I had to buy yet another.

Then the check engine light came on. We took it in to get that fixed. They fixed part of the problem, but of course they needed to order more parts, so we have to take it in again to get that fixed, after we get it back from the body shop.

Then the front license plate holder just disappeared, leaving two enormous gaping holes where it was screwed into the bumper.

*le sigh*

I wonder if I can get Sarah Palin's minister to exorcise the witchcraft, or curse, or polt-car-geist currently inhabiting my car. Anyone have his number and does he do housecalls? Er ... car calls? Sort of like those places that come to your work and replace your cracked windshield for you during the day. That would be very convenient. He can just bring his dead chicken, or rattle snake tails, or whatever and get rid of the bad vibes.

Does insurance cover that?
