[Lebowski]

On Monday I went to a local VW dealer and traded my '99 STS in on a 2003 VW Beetle GLS with a 5 speed stick with only 43K miles. There was a cloud of smoke/steam behind me when I pulled in so I didn't have to worry about telling them about the head gasket problem. They gave me $1500 for it on the trade in. (It was $53K new 10 years ago.) I bought it in November 2007 for $7350 and only put 2K miles on it. No more late model Cadillacs for me. No wonder GM is going down the tubes....
