Both kids learned how to drive on this Jetta, we drove to sleep in a tree house for Finn’s 10th birthday, celebrated Betty White, moved into college, watched movies at the drive-in, took Lennon to the dog park, taillight busted by a home run bounce at Ivanhoe, and of course hundreds of commutes to internships, Lake Zurich MSS, Abbott Park, Conway Park and Des Plaines. PLUS countless safe passages under the covered bridge! Ha!
