Last night I dropped Kim off at the movies and headed to the Brooksider. It felt like I haven’t been there in years, but it was still the same old place. Todd was actually in our part of town once again, so I had to stop by. I guess he has moved downtown into an area that Doni & Phil once lived in and Kim and I thought about moving to. Hopefully we get down there sometime to check it all out. I wasn’t able to stay very long though, I had to go play hockey…

This morning we had to get up extra early since we needed to take the car to a VW dealer. Over the weekend, the drivers side door starting acting up, just after the car passed 50,000 miles which ended the warranty. From time to time the sensors would think that the door was open and this would cause the lights to come on and a very annoying sound to fill the car. The solution was to open and close the door until it stopped. This eventually got worse and the previous method would not work. We called VW and they said they might be able to extend the warranty and fix it, if not it would cost something like $300 to fix. You see when VW updated the Jetta in 99 or so, they removed the typical door sensor that you find on most cars and instead they somehow installed it in the door latch. You can no longer simply mess with the little sensor button, you now have to replace an entire latch. Anyway, they are evaluating the situation, so keep your fingers crossed. If they won’t do it for free we are going to shop around…
