Antenna falls off, my hatred for Volkswagen grows
By William M. Hartnett on Nov 10, 2007 in whinging
What a day for my stupid 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. First, the trunk wouldn’t open. The last time this happened was in a parking garage at Miami International Airport, when I had a trunk full of luggage for a two-week trip overseas. It was similarly packed today. Five hours later, while proceeding northbound on Interstate 95 at approximately 55 mph, the appallingly cheap, brittle plastic that held the antenna in place snapped, sending said antenna tumbling down the rear windshield. Oh, and what’s this? The check engine light is on, too? Excellent! No, really, just brilliant.
Legendary German engineering + 66,000 miles = poo.
