Well, the sushi lunch would have been better at Japengo, or, at least more likely trouble free. . As it was everything started ok enough. My trusty 1998 VW passat waiting for me in the parking lot - check. Perfect timing to pick up Mike and head over to the new sushi place in Pacific Beach - check. All ok, untiil I pull into the driveway a bit hastily for the sushi bar. Oops. turns out that the oil pan on VW Passats is located in the front of the car, on the bottom. Oops. Well, as you can guess, I dug a small hole in the oil pan. Oops.So what to do now. We had a reservation, and the sushi was excellent, but I could not really drive the car without burning up the engine. So I had to call a tow truck, which I waited for while eating the great sushi. . That was the worst part; not being able to savor the delicious food. Maybe next time. A quick call to AAA (they used to check the card first, but this fellow just looked at car, hooked it up, and took the car later). Towed the car to the dealer, got a cab back to the sushi place, picked up my friend, went back to his office, then my home, then back to work. Fun. Maybe next time! .
