Yikes, ita. Though from the looks of things, my Malibu would probably require the same.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Round sealed-beam headlights rule!

Getting to the headlight on a Jetta? I'm so not doing that myself.
Holy fuck. I thought the Germans were famous for good engineering? That's purposefully perverse. Evil Germans.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
tommyrot, there is a question for you (and Chikat) in F2F.

My headlights have never gone, thank god - the times I thought it had it turned out to be a fuse. Which, actually, in my Golf were really easy to access and visually check to see if one had blown. In my Passat you basically have to lie prone on the sidewalk in a really contorted sort of on your back position and crane your neck backwards and then you probably still can't see them. Utterly ridiculous design.

Ack. Sorry, shrift.
Ah, don't worry about it. The pain was fleeting, and has been replaced with inbox-induced rage. Too! Much! Work! Just now:
Boss: You sneeze every time a new job comes in.
Me:
t gasp
I really
am
allergic to work!

I didn't realize VWs were that bad. The more expensive German brands seem to be serviceable by dealer or specialist garage only, but I thought VWs were less prone to that sort of stuff.

Thanks - I would have missed it until tonight otherwise....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Efficient engineering. Those headlights probably take up .001% of the battery's output or summat.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So the statewide school API scores were published in the paper today.
I was mildly talking out of my ass by saying Emmett's district is one of the best in Northern California. There are better ones out in the rich white people suburbs. Not that his school isn't good (API score of 884 with 800 as the benchmark of excellence. That ranks it 10 out of a possible 10 statewide, and 8 out of 10 compared to other schools with similar demographics). Cupertino looks impressive though. It's got 23 schools and an average score of 911. Yowza - that's across the board excellence. Emmett's district has five schools in the mid 800s.
