I woke up with what feels like a heat headache. Which doesn't makes sense since this weekend was quite pleasant (compared to what it had been) and my apartment was 70 this morning. Maybe I'll blame it on the cats who stole my pillows last night.

Or monday.

Happy Birthday VW!

My Saturn SC-1 gets between 30 and 35 mpg. It's also a 3-door coupe with minimal haulage, and has the pickup of an asthmatic snail, so it's probably not what most folks are looking for. Still, it got me to Charlottesville and back on less than a tank of gas, which was nice.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so, I looked at the pollen index on weather.com. It is very high around here. and everywhere I lived or visted in the last 15 years. So the 97 bajillion meds - I would be takeing anywhere. I can't decide if this is reassureing or annoying.

I can't even.

Happy Birthday vw! I hope you have a great day!

I have an appointment with the optometrist in about 25 minutes, and physio at lunchtime, plus a bunch of work to get done today. Hmm, clearly I need more caffeine.

Is that the automatic? In the SL2 we noticed a big difference between the automatic and manual when it came to pick up. ( not with the VUE - but we have the big engine) ( Matt was tired of pushing his car of the Sunol grade)

We had an SL once with a stick and it wasn't too bad. But I've driven the automatics and they are really sluggish. I don't think the engines have enough torque to pair up with an automatic.

If you want hauling capacity and fuel economy, maybe a TurboDiesel Jetta Wagon. Or less expensively, a Ford Focus Wagon or Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe.

Swouncing

sars, I'm sorry. You probably got part of my after-fast nasty headache (the fast took place yesterday). Which prevents me from posting much, since the whole looking-at-a-computer-screen activity is even more painful than just the being-awake activity.

Off for more water.

[Edit: 2*5=4+6. The world can't be that bad when numbers are being nice to you.]

No, I have the stick. I moved to the SC-1 from a Grand Am, and that may be affecting my perceptions.
