    I've had my '99 VW Beetle since Oct 2006. I paid it off Oct 16, 2010. It has not ran properly since last week Sunday and has not started since Thursday! Ack!!! Mr.TKE's parents are driving thru our town on Thursday 6/2 and dropping off an extra car for us. I am very greatful for that, but until Thurday I have to take the bus 2.5 miles to work and home from work.

     

    Here's Skitts when she actually was running last summer.

    Cars are always tempermental when they are paid off.    Do you have a local mechanic that an look @ your car?  Could be a simple fix.  VW is known to have electrical problems so it can be just a simple computer adjustment.  I'm a car gal and I've had everything happen to all my cars.

    @squeak35: I've already had someone look at it...$1800 to repair

    @Sesame Snap: If you find a way to get it to Australia, you can have it for free! haha

    Mr.TKE's parents dropped off a car for us yesterday. It's a light blue 1997 Ford Taurus. I named him Frank. He just REALLY seemed like a Frank to me. lol :) looks something like this:

    @thisismeAXiD: Awww that's the same car as mine. Mine's two years older though. They have a bad reputation but mine has grown on me :)

    That sucks that your car is so much to repair!
