The worst sight

« on: April 13, 2009, 01:31:26 AM »
I love my 2006 Jetta TDI...the sound of the diesel rumbling while sitting at a red light, and the fact that I get 40 mpg no matter how hard I run her. My car feels so reliable. I drive from Cleveland to Chattanooga every week day, so one night on my way home from school, I was thinking about how reliable my car has been, and how it had never let me down. Then I met with a pothole the rain had washed out on the bridge right past the Ooltewah exit. I made it across the bridge and then freaking out I got out of my car and called my dad to come help me change my tire. I then realized that both my passenger tires were flat, and told him to call me a rollback. It was not my VW that had let me down but that night I really began to appreciate the reliability of my VW. I love my car, and it was such a sad sight to see her on a rollback.

Welcome aboard,
It is always difficult to see our babies uploaded on a roll back.  Make sure to check your alloys if you have them to see if they were cracked / bent when you hit the chuckhole. Good luck.

The rims were okay even after driving on 2 flats all the way across the bridge. Sorry your rims were not so lucky. All is well now, me and the Jetta are reunited. I will try to get some pics up soon.
