Alright, so, if you don't know who Oliver is, or why he would be mended Read: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

So, as you might have read (Thank you for doing it!) the ignition coil with which Oliver would finally be happy to hop about the city was ordered with its warranty. Time for arrival was told in true Mexican style:"Uh, try in a week or so." Yeah, not a very earnest answer, but I've come used to it. Well, after 6 days of randomly sneaking to see Oliver and thinking when I can finally use it again I went to the Volkswagen dealership. The Ignition coil has arrived!

When I went to the dealership, I didn't have any hopes for it to be here. I had a bad experience at my local Autozone where I order a cable of the handbrake that took a month and a week to arrive. Oh, and I wasn't even notified, I went to the Autozone for a hydraulic fluid and the employee recognised me from all the times I had gone to ask if the piece had arrived. He told they had the cable, and to my surprise, I finally installed it. But thats another story.

I reached the dealership and saw what I wished to be my christmas tree. Boxes and boxes of VAG group branded bags with VAG group branded products. I think VAG packaging is the Apple of automotive car parts. I went to the desk and gave my receipt from last time. They told me with a fake as Minute maid lemonade smile they had the piece. My smile then, was real. Like, girl scout lemonade real. But obviously there was a catch. I stayed 40 minutes in the dealership waiting for the order to be passed and the warranty to be re-started. Or respawned.

Those 40 minutes I say several Jetta's, a Polo, a CC, Touareg, Beetles, and concluded that If I had a choice, it would be the GSR Beetle over the DSG CC. After all that time, the same employee came me with the confirmation paper. I stormed off to the workshop with the piece, but the main mechanic wasn't there. Great. I went to cut my hair and make time before it was 7 P.M. when they closed. But when I reached the place at 6:55, the mechanic never returned, but was assured the piece would be installed tomorrow morning. If all goes well, Oliver will return to the streets this wednesday 21st. Me Happy!

True. The up-side to it all is that the car runs fine (my dad and I only started and ran the car for like 2 seconds). I just don't have coolant. Thankfully, everyone was okay from the accident. Just need to pay a $340 ticket before repairs. Shit.

It was. I'm pretty thrilled it started, so I don't need to trash the car now. I just need to figure out expenses.

AWESOME! It is my second choice if you told me I could have any new VW car right now. 1st would be CC R-Line Manual, 2nd the GSR, and Third Golf GTI/R only manual.

Yeah. This guy's family is pretty rich, so he's had a good run with cars. First, a JCW Mini Cooper, and now a GSR bug. It's DSG, since he has nerve damage in his right hand and can't use it too well, but goddam it's a good car! He'll be getting " Lumière " as a vanity plate for it, since the color reminds him of candle light color, and he's a Disney nerd

Hahah, THAT is how to do a vanity plate. Only you should understand its coolness.

There will be. I forgot the USB cable in my car to put the image from my phone to the computer and then the computer to here. I'll try to email it to myself if that will work.
