My new car!

 It's a VW Jetta sportwagen TDI,  a bit of a change from my 12 year old Ford Explorer.  I have been averaging ~ 35mpg commuting between Dallas and Fort Worth.  

Its fun to drive, although there is a bit of turbo-lag from a standing start.  I was going to get a stick but I got tired of waiting so I opted for the automatic.  It has a 6 speed Tiptronic(r) shifter - which is cool - but still not quite the same as a stick.  As far as diesel milage 35mpg is fair considering I drive fairly aggressively.
