Some of you may remember my post from Thursday about a road trip I took with this all Allroad:

Kinja'd!!!

I wanted to post today about how well the trip went and how nothing on it broke. Most of that is true.

The trip did go well, the tint/OEM sunshades kept me cool and made me feel awesome, and after 13 years the interior is still beautiful. I love wagons even more after we stuffed everything in it with ease, tailgated out of the back for the Michigan baseball game, and the Allroad made it home without a hiccup. My girlfriends brother wants to get rid of it next year. If that happens, it will be mine.

So what was broken? I got a text from my gf’s dad, saying my DD received new racing stripes while I was gone:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

At least someone left info this time. Now it’s time for estimates and insurance stuff I suppose. I joked a few weeks ago about how this car has been in the shop 5 times in the last 1.5 years and this was the longest stretch. I spoke too soon. They were really nice and a apologetic about it and stuff happens, no use making a big deal out of it.

Does it still have the air ride suspension? And the TT v6? You are living my dreams. And (fingers crossed) hopefully not my nightmares.

Yes and yes! Major maintenance including chain guides are done, needs some window electronics work and suspension work a bit. I'll get the family discount and do a lot of preventative maintenance if I pick it up
