New Car!!



It's about time! I have been eyeing the new VW Rabbit since its debut this past January. I've been driving a Touareg (which I love to death!) for travel nurse purposes, but with gas now $3.59/gallon here in Seattle, my last fillup cost me $80.00. No, I'm not kidding. For a car with a 22 gallon gas tank that gets 18mpg. Filling up three times a month = $240! And I seriously see gas pushing $4/gallon by summer. I'm sure Europeans are sick of our whining, where they routinely pay easily twice that, but as a car-conscious culture, it makes sense to economize. So I traded in my T'reg yesterday for my Rabbit. LOVE IT! What a fun car to drive. And it's manual, which I totally missed. It fits in better with my lifestyle, too. It looks gray but is actually a pretty sage green :).
