That is a great story.
I was behind a purple Prius on the road yesterday and was struck by how pretty it was. That is the extent of my feels but they are, you now, positive.
Bummer about the car fix getting complicated, Sheryl. I hate when that happens, and it seems like it almost always does.
The TDI version of the VW vehicles get mileage that rivals the hybrid cars with a supply and build chain that is more environmentally friendly.
I believe there is a Passat TDI.
Whew. Finished up the electronics for four of the five remaining cigar box guitars for my older students. Waiting on permissions for the fifth.
My dad has always wanted a Passat. I don't know why.
So ... that's my answer.
(I still want a Beetle, personally.)
Ha! That's so awesome, JZ.
I think I am going to test drive both the prius and the passat. I am thinking I may go through the Costco Auto program, just so I don't have to haggle.
I strongly recommend a Mazda 3. Comfy, great mileage, and endorsed by my DH, car dude.
I had just finished lap 71 when the thunder started. So one lap shy and no cool down 6 laps, but I was mostly done. Glad I decided to go early!
So my car exhibited electrical-short like behavior today in a downpour. Considering it leaks... but it recovered. (It was classic low battery-like start, and when I first started moving, the wipers were....slow. And the radio fritzed and dash lights blinked randomly, but as soon as I travelled some distance, it all went away.) Guess I better get serious about seeing if a refi would free up enough more of the budget to fit in a car payment without getting all stressy. Sigh. I don't want a new car payment. We'll see if it starts in the morning. As noted, it is raining again.
Now I'm eating asparagus and mushrooms.

That's what my dad actually has! It's a great car.
I enjoyed my V6 Jetta a ridiculous amount, enough that I would cheerfully tell people to look at a Passat if that's the body they like.
Except the mechanism to raise and lower the seat back was the most annoying ever.
