Windshield Wiper Woes Continued

Today H and I picked up our new (to us) Jetta that we purchased from a government sale. In Australia, you can buy used vehicles from government auctions but unlike the U.S., they’re not mostly police confiscated cars from drug busts etc. Instead the cars, motorcycles, and even RVs, for sale are former police vehicles, foreclosed vehicles, and government official vehicles from people including school board officials. Our car was previously owned by the school board, so it has low mileage and no risk of illegal drugs stuffed into the seat cushions. After waiting well over a week for the auction house to recognize that our wire transfer was received, we were able to pick up our sparkling white Jetta and bring it home with us. Only problem? Apparently not all cars in Australia have the windshield wipers and blinkers on opposite sides of the steering wheel as cars in the U.S. Number of times I signaled with my windshield wipers (located on the right side of the steering wheel) instead of my blinkers? Four times out of seven. Guess I’m a quick learner.
