To each his own.
Just a bunch of kids wanting a diesel. Don't need a diesel, but dammit, they think they gotta have one.

remember when Diesel fuel was cheap and the only diesel powered vehicles were old crappy Mercedes and real work trucks that actually used all that low end torque for pulling trailers full of hay. Now they just want to blow black smoke out of ridiculously oversized exhaust pipes. I mean I could put my head in some of those things.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

They also look like knockoff F-150's.

during the early years of my 1982 VW Jetta diesel I could go from the Michigan/Ohio state line to Clearwater Florida for $17.00
it was a bit intimidating pulling up next to 18 wheelers at truck stops :shok: and getting change back from a 10 :icon_thumby:
with only 54 hp its a safe bet I was always the last one to the top of a long hill.

In the late part of first decade of the 2000s I worked with a guy who had a fairly newish TDI. He said that if he only drove a lot he'd have to fill it up about once a month.
