oh the jetta, why?

I am so ready to sell the jetta I could scream.  On Saturday, for once Chris and I were reasonably on time.  Well, we were headed to a wedding outside of Charlotte and on I85 our tire tread blew off and hit the side mirror knocking it off!!!!  Seriously, REALLY!?! So, Chris in his nice suit had to change the tire and then cut the wired to the dangling remains of the side mirror.  All the while I kept picturing a crazed car coming right at him and taking the love of my life away.  I sat in the car and stared at the drivers as they went passed and told Chris if I yelled to MOVE!  Thankfully, most cars were nice and pulled over a lane, though some just stared right at us and Chris was fine, he didn't even get his suit dirty.  At least there was a reason I hadn't cleaned out the backseat in a while and we had plenty of rags for him to use.  I am not about to even tally the money we have put into that car recently, but we did have to spend $100 on a used side mirror off ebay.  Got to love ebay sometimes!
