Wade bought a Jetta

Yep, finally broke down and replaced my old Mazda Miata, Lucille.

It took awhile (like three months) to find Volkswagen Jetta TDI (Diesel) with package 2. Of all the bells and whistles on this car, the only one I insisted on was memory seats - so when Patrick puts the seat all the way up (he's #2), I can readjust with just a push of the button.

Of course, car companies don't let you pick individual things, so I had to go with a package. Also kind of nice that it comes with navigation, and a cool steering wheel.

Not sure if it's because people in the US don't like diesels, so we don't get a lot of them. Or they are in such high demand in the US because of our current gas prices. But it turns out that only 9 people in the continental United States were actually selling such a car.
