V-Dub of Love

We finally picked up our new car today!! It was quite the ordeal, let me tell you. First we ordered it at the end of January. Then the girl that we were dealing with left Fifth Ave Volkswagon, so we had to start over with another dude. Got a call at the end of March telling us that it was being made. And then we heard nothing after that. Christien called them every time he was back from work. Finally, they told us that we would be getting it mid May! We took a drive through the dealership on Sunday after our afternoon out, and saw it in the back with a SOLD sign on it. So exciting!! We had to wait until today to pick it up because they had to do the inspection and put the 3M coating on it for us. She sure is a beauty. Christien let me drive it off the lot. It had all of 11kms on it. We've been sitting in it and driving it around all afternoon. Playing with all the features and trying to figure it out. I still have no clue about the Bluetooth. Only that I am sinked up when I go in with my cell phone on, but we still can't figure out how to hands free dial and all that.

The touch screen media is wicked. I LOVE the panoramic sunroof too. And love that it has a sun shade in it. So you can still have it open, but you don't have to worry about the sun beating down on ya. Reid loves it too! He must have hit a milestone. Although he did have a couple of break downs on the way to and from Edmonton last week (he was just so hot), he's been super chill with riding around in the car when we're driving around the city. Which is such a relief to mum and dad. I have to thank Christine for the ingenious idea of hanging a toy from the handles in the back. Seems to capture his attention sometimes... And we put a little mirror back there for him too. He does seem quite content to stare at his feet lately, so that works too. Either way, we now have air conditioning in the car, so that's going to help for trips. We're going to test it out later this week, when we head out to Lake Louise. This car has definitely got some pick up. I wonder if Christien will let me drive it...???
