Ya know it really isn't as much as the physical thought of it but the
emotional state of mind that you have to get over.  

Hope it works out for ya.

	Subject:	A sad loss....      WAS: Re: Drive April

	Well I was all geared up to trade in my leased 1996 Jetta
	GLS for this brand new 1998, Classic Green, Jetta GLX until
	I ran my '96 into the back of a Ford Explorer this morning
	around 8:40 mid span on the I520 bridge east bound (My apologies
	to any locals caught in the resulting traffic).

	Nothing is sadder than seeing your baby smashed up in the
	middle of the road leaking fluids all over. I just walked
	around it, ignoring the passing traffic, and shook my head.
	I couldn't believe I had done that to my baby. A horrible
	site indeed.

	On the good side, the Jetta turns out to be a very safe
	ride. I fired both air bags and we had our seat belts on.
	I was the only one hurt and that was just a bruise on 
	my stomach from the wheel I guess. The entire front end
	of the car is about half as long as it use to be. What
	about the Ford explorer you ask? It has a few cosmetic
	scratches on its rear bumper.


	I am sure all you fellow Jetta owners felt the loss as
	a disturbance in the force.

	Hanging my head,
	greg.
