Goodbye old friend

Well, he/she/it is finally gone. After being an integral part of our family since 2001, our old Volkswagen Jetta has finally flown the coop. Thanks to the amazing Craigslist, I was able to find someone who would take the Jetta off our hands for a little more than $1000. At the end of its time with me, the Jetta had over 195,000 miles and had lots of weird little quirks: the sunroof wouldn't enter, the fuse for the wiper blades would frequently blow, there was a huge hole in the dash as a result of a break-in, and the front passenger seat slid back and forth all the time. But nonetheless, the Jetta was a great car for and and very reliable to the end. We put a lot of miles on that car; while I'm not exactly sorry to see it go, we definitely have a lot of memories that we experienced with that car.
