We got audited on our 2011 taxes for taking an Adoption Credit. In our case we had credits on both 2010 and 2011, for the same child which is what probably triggered the audit. (Though we know several other families that were audited in 2011 for their adoption credits also.)

Truly complaining would be mentioning the lack of A/C and Black Vinyl seats in South Carolina....

Technically, it has 1/2 of them. And only because they’re sitting on the counter in the garage.

I’m actually on my second transmission... This time I’m blaming the kids. (Or you know, the fact that we’ve been driving this car since the kids were born.)

I think I may be out of time. The car's been benched for a month with no reverse gear. The engine still runs fine. (And the front two windows still go up and down.)

I never slowed down or dodged in my MK III Jetta. But then I was hoping that it would die.

I had one break the last year I was driving the car. Then my teenage son (football, weightlifting and track) had two flats in one day over at the practice football field. Overnight someone broke in and stole the solar battery charger. Then two months later a fellow teammate wanted to mess with him and thew something…
