OY! Yesterday was a very long day … since I only got 4 hours sleep the night before, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to make it thru the day … but fortunately there was enough exciting stuff to take care of to keep me going. At long last, I finally took possession of my new 2009 VW Tiguan crossover! All my life I’ve only had small, sporty cars so this time around I wanted to get something a bit bigger but still sleek and cool. I was looking for a crossover (SUV coupe) and was very happy to learn that VW *just* came out with their own crossover model. I am a big VW fan, I can’t bear to part with my VW Beetle (which is back home in Detroit) so I was very happy that I had a new VW option this time around. I placed the order in May and the car arrived from Wolfsburg, Germany Thursday … and I got to bring my baby home yesterday:
I am so happy … the car is sharp as hell :) I didn’t have much time to play with it cuz last night a bunch of us got together for Mike’s birthday dinner at Bella and party at Paul and Corey’s … here are a few pics:
The night was very chill, very fun. Mike’s friends Blair, Adam and Eric (along with his sister Jill and brother Jeff) joined us for the festivities as did Darion’s friend Cameron. A great time was had by all.
Today, I’m keeping holed up in my apartment … I have to pack for NY/London/Paris and take care of a million other things before I fly out tomorrow. I feel so fortunate to have great friends in my life. I’m looking forward to traveling with David and seeing Steph and Alek in France. I gotta say, I life is good …
Damn I need to open a gossip website as well
25 mpg IS good, especially if your only other choice is a fugly-ass Kia or Prius. Until they make a good-looking car that runs on something renewable, I think Trent is doing just fine with what he’s chosen.
I agree with Julie – 25 MPG city is really good considering most vehicles of that syle (cross over SUV, or Cute ute’s) only get like 20 MPG city!!! Also, The VW is so PIMP! love your car… wish i had one just like it… but you should still get rims
“25 MPG” what a joke….well, I guess some of you are correct – fashion over function – indeed… I do love VW’s but as a single man (even with a dog) an SUV is really not justified. I think the Prius is cute and a good option. But our car is our choice, especially when we are able to choose responsibly – so all the best to you Trent and your choice.
Dude, did you get it at the Santa Monica VW? That is MY dealership as well, I love them!
VW ROCKS!!! I share my love for VWs also (even my intials are VW haha)~~~ I just recently took became a proud owner of my little VW Golf =) black’s just so sleek aint it?
