This is the best story fo the week. I cut and pasted this from my blog:

So in my quest to spend yet more of my money on senseless items that hold no monetary value whatsoever, I have started a quest.
My quest is for this:





It's rear hatch glass for a MK3 golf and it has no holes for spoilers AND has no defrost lines because well, they don't get frost in mexico. Duh.

Now, this part has never seen it's way onto american soil. EVAR. The bad thing is, it's only sold in mexico.

Sooo, with a part number in hand, I started calling. First I called my buddy cort who is in texass. He suggested calling El Paso to find a VW dealer. From there I got a number for a dealer in Juarez Mexico. No dice.

Then I googled junk yards in Juarez and finally I was in business. I got a number for a nice family-run business and after a quick "buenos diaz, hablamos engles?" I was matched up with a nice gentleman by the name of Abraham Acosta. We spoke broken english vs. broken spanish for close to 20 minutes. (I knew dating a guatemalen for 8 years would pay off eventually!)

He had my part. Now all I need to do is send some cash his way via money gram and I will have my part. Done deal.

Yeah, us dubbers are crazy fuckers.
Perfecto indeed.
