Yup, not a good week at all...
Just picked up my rental. 2010 Jetta with 5800 miles. Pretty damn nice. Should have the car back in a week.

Apparently Dodge is covering the trans under powertrain, and CarMax is covering the rest under their warranty. I owe 25 for the tow and up to 75 maybe since I got a Jetta for 37 a day and rental only covers 25. All in all I'm a happy boy. Damn glad I bought the extra warranty!!!!!!

Woot! Yay for warranties

Yup, very happy right now. But knowing my luck something else will go wrong once I get the car back...

Good idea.
Trans is all fixed, so is the radiator, and I've put almost 1000 miles on it without any more issues.
I do have an annoying squeaking in the drivers front suspension lately though. I've just been too damn lazy to jack the car up and figure out what's causing it.

I ran away from the site to save my sanity. However I have friends who kept trying to tempt me back, and one of them finally succeeded today.

Well, you didn't help the situation, but no this time was John. You, John, Frank and I think Hagan or Adam are all responsible for me coming back, though.
