My new Jetta:

Jetta stuff: I finally named her! I apologize to everyone who provided suggestions because I came up with a name on my own: Loretta. I think it suits her. I also decided that she needed a personalized license plate so I have one: |

With my daily 82-mile commute when I was working in Marysville, I was filling up Stella (my Subaru Forester) twice a week and it was a horrible experience! She got approximately 26 mpg on the highway, which isn't bad, but I felt like all my money was going into the gas tank. So I decided that I needed to buy something more fuel-efficient. I investigated hybrids and small cars but in the end I decided a diesel engine was the best choice for me. So I bought the "new" Volkswagen Jetta. This is the new body style they introduced in mid-2005. I purchased mine on July 4th. I haven't named it yet, and am soliciting names. If you've got a good one, email me with it! It was getting approximately 50 mpg when I still commuting 82 miles per day on the highway. Now it's getting a little less because I'm doing less highway driving. But I really like it and I'm glad I bought it.

I even cleaned out my garage so I can park the car in there. It's a very tight fit but it fits! Better a tight fit in the garage than to have tree sap constantly dripping on it. | |
