Infer a glass roof is what we'd call a sun roof [opens] or moon roof [doesn't open] here in the States. Neither is pleasant in 100 degree summer weather, even when tinted. But we're happiest about the built in dog grill :) Now that is a promising sign. Of course, the dog will ride in the back seat and the grill is to keep the luggage from falling on his or her head, right?Jed and Abby in MerryLandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00782709825274199133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-71228901665796639702012-11-14T23:22:28.720+01:002012-11-14T23:22:28.720+01:00Congrats on the new car.

First the lady at the airport and now the husky voiced woman! I never see them anymore, and that is a good thing. Fishnets, in my opinion, are not the most attractive look.<br /><br />I got a HORRIBLE migraine (vomiting, couldn't stand any bright lights or noises) the last time we went car shopping several years ago, the salesman kept saying it would only be 20 more minutes until all the paperwork was done. He lied. Only the second migraine of my life, and I hope the last and I now never want to go inside another bright, noisy and hyper upbeat car dealership ever again. I'll just ride my cute yellow bike or get a horse if necessary . . .Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00520055847733784523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-22308335421831156662012-11-14T16:45:27.433+01:002012-11-14T16:45:27.433+01:00I hope the new car gets dog drool marks on the bac...I hope the new car gets dog drool marks on the back seats really soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-90994065373252415382012-11-14T16:38:31.898+01:002012-11-14T16:38:31.898+01:00No idea Volkswagen were so expensive...Congrats to...No idea Volkswagen were so expensive...Congrats to a new vehicle - still waiting for more occupants??????<br />Southern damp Italy greets you - Susanne, Daisy, Foxiie and Kiri<br />Craftspeople and gardeners seem work on the same pattern here, too.<br />fleurlilianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777427063900625515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-3707909292904315602012-11-14T16:33:16.024+01:002012-11-14T16:33:16.024+01:00Room for two dogs?

Skoda is the bargain basement brand for VW and accessories are few and far between . Perhaps he drove a SAAB ? Swedish and much more stylish and much more likely to have wipers on the headlights. I am willing to be corrected.
