With the Subaru long gone, and the lease winding up on the Jetta in a couple months, it’s time for me to start thinking about what I want to drive after the Jetta is gone. I know I want to get back into a sporty hatchback of some nature. And I know it must be a stick shift, hopefully with a sunroof. This narrows the list considerably. Once each car is test driven, I will shorten the list. Right now, the strong front runners are 1, and 2.
- 06-08 VW GTI
- 05-06 MINI Cooper S
- Volvo C30 R-Design
Chevrolet HHR-SS– simply impossible to find.04 VW Golf R32-hard to justify 6 year old car at inflated prices. Then ad importation fees + aggravation.Mazda Speed3– no sunroof available. Prefer other cars on list despite this being fastest on the list.
House Mods : With the pending baby, I’ve been busy getting the house where we want it. Dad and I spent a few hours and ripped up the carpet in the living room and replaced it with a nice laminate. SO much nicer then the carpet was. Also, finally have central air installed. Too bad we’ve had a cold snap ever since. The damned unit has been on just long enough to make sure it works.
And two final updates. Shannon is STILL pregnant. Baby is holding on till the end just like Abby did. Eviction notice likely to be written up next week at her appointment if the baby is still not cooperating. Also, early this summer I will be getting this damned site moved to a faster box with all the new updates done. This old site has been update free for 3+ years.
One Final, Final update. HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY GRANDPA! Hope you have a wonderful day!
