The new Beetle 12 is faster, wider, smoother, smarter and it's now Kathleen's. This is her fourth Beetle, she's had orange, yellow, blue and now yellow again. But it's not the same yellow. Very little is the same, actually, and that's why Stan is happy to be driving this incarnation to the Coast for the winter. VWs have more headroom than any other sedan we know. Stan's choices are limited. The VW is fine. VW intentionally "manned-up" this traditionally ladies car. Took out the flower vase, gave it a gangster look, widened it, softened the ride, made it very quiet and added a Fender speaker system and navigation and bluetooth. And the coupe looks real good too, don't you think?

| Jared and the proud owner. |
So we're excited, got the keys tonight from the best salesman yet, Jared Frantz at Burnsville Volkswagen, who promises to faithfully help us learn all the bells and whistles. He already installed our phone directories.
Thankfully our closer, Jacque, was no William H. Macy from Fargo. We cautiously went into the little room with her and got the very same deal we had planned on getting. (Note to Randy -- we didn't spring for the Tru-Coat)
Closing today also earned us a $500 Black Friday gift card and the pride that we are doing our best to move this economy forward.

| No high pressure here, Jacque did a nice job for us. Katie got her gift cards. |
