Another of my sundry obsessions, another pain in the ass

I found out the Dockside restaurant on Main Street in Wakefield has NTN. I'm a trivia junkie and have been looking for an NTN joint for years. I am keen to get a team together. My first game in years and I scored 11,913 out of 15k (412th place nationwide; essentially 10 perfect answers and a few hoseballs).

After a couple games I got in the car and the brake light started blinking. Then the ABS light came on and stayed on. This is German for "you make too much money." Damn. Now I need to find a VW repair shop that won't suck. Augh.

I'll probably go to the dealership in Beverly. It may cost more, but I'm behind about two product recalls anyway.

Any ideas? Anyone wanna play trivia? medievalsweetie, you know of any NTN near you? Oh, and I keep forgetting to tell you a character name.

Wow, what an opaque website! NTN's front page doesn't seem to give any clue that they do this. Weird.

yeah, you noticed that too? :) my first thought was "oh, Dante mistyped the link". heh.

Tell us what the mechies say about it, as I've become extremely curious about how vehicles work internally (especially the funktastic modern things like ABS).

Oh, and I found the Metro pass with the pandas on it. Give the house a call, we can figure out how to get it to you.

Yeah, there's NTN not two seconds from my place at the Okey Dokey (Friday's type restaurant).

And I need that character name ASAP---today if possible. I have to hand in my final list for passes tomorrow.

I might be into that, when I return to the US.

Hit the VW boards (VWVortex, etc.) and see what they say. See galaneia's recent saga for how annoyingly overchargy the dealers can be, so it's best to be armed with solid info beforehand.

I rock at 35% of the questions on NTN, and can guess at the other 65; you can play at the Uno's near us, but only in the bar (where it gets a little smoky). Still, I can likely be convinced...
