    The new DD

    Retired LBB from daily status. For a few reasons, she is thirsty, she sucks in the snow, and I let some maintenance stuff go. So now she's down getting lotsa work, and lotsa improvements.

    So I picked up a 2006 Jetta TDI to do the daily thing. Cheaper on insurance. Getting me an honest hand calculated 54 mpg last time I filled it up. And it's cheaper to make payments on this then to drive LBB. And the trucks been paid off for years. Plus I've never had a car. I wanted a car.

    Here's a picture from when I was out playing in the snow at work this morning. I put Nokian Hakkapeliittas on it for the winter, and it's like driving a rally car around. It only slides around and spins if I want it to. Pushed through snow up to the headlights without flinching. Winter sucks. Gotta have as much fun with it as I can.

    I had a 2001 TDI jetta. They are bad ass for sure. Mine did well in the snow, but not Canadian snow. Mine also never got 54mpg. I am guessing you got a manual trans?

    Nice Malone is the way to go. I wanted to get the stage 1.5 with dynamic egr, but I was afraid with having the dreaded O1M auto.

    Nice on the TDI. I don't get 54 but the last two tanks I get 51.5. No mods.
