Volkswagen Widow

Crack open an eye on Saturday morn, and reach out to give him a cuddle. To find he's been up since break of dawn, and crouched in a black oily puddle. Began with the Polo, a fast one I guess, On day three the engine goes BOOM! Self serviced the car to cost himself less, Now there's wires spewing out from the loom. A holey exhaust, a broken headlight, and *** burns adorning each seat. The bulbs have all blown so he cant drive at night, or too far coz the car overheats. To top this all off, he then bought a Golf GTI so it's fast as a cheetah. It's German, it's black, he's named it Adolf, The fact it won't start, common feature. He pulled out the seats and the engine and tanks, It's now just a sad empty shell. I put up and put up but still get no thanks, So I wish these cars would burn in hell. I'm tired of washers and bolts on the floor, of my kitchen and hallway and loo. Got wires and leads and cards off the doors, Full suspension in my living room. Im sick of these Dubs, I'm sick of the sight of alloys and tyres and....just....bits. The attention these Dubs get from morning til night, It's beginning to get on my.....nerves. Just put down your spanner, your socket and wrench and grab a cold drink from the fridge Take off your stained jeans, and jump in the bath Now, where did I put the phone number for the scrap yard?....... 6th September 2011

haha, have mailed you with an explaination, but in a nut shell, there is a 'dub-scene' within the VW owners. Mainly the old Polo's Golf's Beetles and Camper vans are the 'dubs'. the hippie type cars that Volkswagen made. The bane of my life >.<
