Out with the old, in with the new

Well it happened. We finally got to take our Passat home!  I was a little sad to see the Spice Red Jetta go - we had some good times and not so good times:

- getting used to driving a standard - couldn't be any easier with DIESEL POWER

- daily driving to the U of M

- loading it up, strapping on the bikes and going camping or to the lake

- 50+ mpg

- countless trips to Morden and Warren

- many trips to Minneapolis

- one road trip to Banff

- driving 2,400 Kms to Montreal

- dealing with unfamiliar cities in a familiar car - Montreal, Quebec City, Peterborough, Boston, New York City, Chicago 

Here are some photos of the big day:

Last time seeing big red in the garage. 

The final odometer reading. Yikes look at that temperature.

The three beauties together:

Passat, Gwen, Jetta (L to R)

I'm looking forward to driving the car tomorrow for the first time. I let Gwen drive it the first day and today I wasn't feeling well so worked from home. Saturday we will get some new winter tires for the Passat, or passassat as some people like to refer to it as.

Excited to drive the blue beauty tomorrow ;)
