Driveway automatic gate broke
Bought a GTI that turned out to be a lemon
Body panel on our SUV is backordered so we've been driving around without the panel for the past 2 months. It looks horrible
Overall I still think I'm pretty lucky. Life's still pretty good regardless of all these things.

40 yr old! Lucky it lasted over 30!!
We all got covid
I'd say your lucky to have a driveway with an auto gate! Was that an expensive fix?
What yr and mileage GTI?
What model SUV? |
Yes! There is always that silver lining.
40 years was a very good run for HVAC! Our new system is bigger and more efficient.
I got Covid and survived, I know people who lost loved ones.
I survived unscathed from my accident.
Some people don't even have the luxury of automatic gates! It was $2k to fix.
It was a 11k mile 2019 GTI. It was going to be a 4th car. I was able to return it only costing me time and inconvenience. Again, 1st world problem.
Our SUV is a 2021 VW Atlas 4Motion. Silver lining: it's loaded, has no mechanical issues being so new, and only has a cosmetic issue.
Silver linings all over the place! |

I realize you were just venting - $2k was more than I expected for the gate btw ha…
This parable I find very accurate and useful.
