Better yet, this link...
That's a good site for researching fuel economy in general. I can't find a direct link to the Jetta, but they list it at 42 hwy for the automatic. The combined is in the 30s.
We'll be in our bunk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Natter 66: Someone on the Internet is Wrong!
For the win!!
And I agree with many of you on gin...it makes me think of pinesol. Which a friend of mine did a shot of freshman year of college (...yah, bad plan. he was dared. we were all really drunk already. Senior year, he offered to do it again, and when we amazedly, hesitantly, were like "...dude, really?" he was like "FUCK NO, I'm not that dumb anymore!")
Unrelatedly, we've (at work) just determined that the genesis of curling had to be alcohol-based.
That and caber-tossing! Which is totally my favorite "sport" ever.
Dark and stormys (stormies?) are delicious. The bar on the corner near me does them yummy, and rightly, with ginger beer. Mmmm.

Punishingly Intricate
I feel like my friends who've had VWs through the years were always having to get random little things fixed on them. It totally, possibly irrationally, has taken any VW off of my possible future car list.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love my VW Jetta V6 to absolute pieces, but since they don't make it anymore I a) can't recommend it for purchase and b) will get it repaired every time.

My cousin and her husband really like their VW Passat TDI, but they might just put up with random little things to fix in exchange for the mileage. Don't know.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

My boss has had a number of issues with her Rabbit in the last year, after only having had it for three or four years. It's to the point where she's thinking of selling it and getting something else, definitely not a VW.

Another good thing about that fuel economy site is that it gives the economy of everything using 2008 EPA ratings so you can compare apples vs. apples with used cars.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, msbelle. I'm sorry you can't run away.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But I am now willing to try fancy-schmancy cocktails made with gin, so I may be stepping back from my Gin = Ew stance.
Sure, you're willing to try them but you always make the EWWWW face when you do. It's cute.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am pretty sure I am taking a personal day tomorrow. I may just get drunk tonight after he goes to sleep.
