Having breakfast at the Bomber with Jason's parents. Settling up with the hotel when we get back, then pack up the car and head home!

I got home at 7pm last night. Total distance to and from the fest for me was 3,998 miles by air, 36 miles in a rental Malibu, and 24 miles in a Prius Taxi. Thankfully all the driving around at the fest was in TDIs and I'm back home and driving my TDI again.

Wow!

I saw the picture before reading the caption and thought that happened while you were towing it home.

Nice progress! You've definitely been busy.

Great! Though I definitely noticed the difference coming back with the load of parts I was (still am) carrying for BoraParts!!

Think how bad it would have been if growler, myself, and the gentleman from Iowa hadn't loaded up......

I assume Aaron and the Passat wagon brigade are making a pit stop at your place on the way home??

I was looking at that wagon and thinking how much I liked the color!!!!
