And in with the new… New car that is. Friday evening Shannon and I went to Burlington after work and picked up her new car. A brand new 2006 Jetta 2.0T It’s pretty hot I must say. Shannon needs to get some lighter shoes, as this thing is quick. I can’t imagine this thing with a chip in it, but I am sure we will be able to some time next year 🙂 40 Extra horses, and 85 foot pounds of torque, hell yes. Normally I wouldn’t post this till after we had made the rounds and showed everyone, but the way our schedule is right now, I wouldn’t get to posting it for quite a while.
More new. New paint. So far it’s only found its way to my house, and Visa statement, and now to Pauls house. Current plan is to paint the car this weekend, barring any other issues this week. Only real question left is, 3 or 4 coats of candy 🙂 I guess that decision will be made in the paint booth, as the colour actually hits the car.
Even more new. New asphalt. Finally, after 2.5 years in our home, the town finally got around to having our street paved with a final coat of black top. Looks pretty sweet. Makes the transition to the driveway a bit smoother without the 1″ drop from the curb to the old black top.
Lastly, new shed. Dads been real busy working on my new shed. The framing is pretty much all up now, and it’s looking sweet. Can’t wait to fill it with Christmas decorations, old stuff I can’t part with, dirt bikes, etc. Gonna be great. Hopefully the weather behaves for the next little bit so we can get it all done.
It’s a pretty nice looking car. Of course, it’s no Nissan Versa… but really what is. 🙂
