Been car shopping for two weeks here in the land of large. We are now debating between a Pontiac Vibe and a Saab. The Saab I think is safer in an accident and larger, but the Vibe has better gas mileage. We heard so many differing opinions about the Passat from owners that we finally gave up as it seems to lack consistency sounding like too much of a gamble for us play it safe types, though I will always have a soft spot for VW's and if a great deal on one turns up today, we may not turn it down. Most of all we were looking for a diesel one, but they are few and far between in this part of the world. It's hot and humid. Where is the promised rain? Someone stole our returnables off the porch yesterday morning waking me up in the process. They didn't even take many. Maybe they left before they got what they wanted? Very unprofessional. Made way to much noise. Sofie's sweating off a fever and recovering from a rash. Anja's very well and they are both enjoying delicious popsicles they made themselves with juice and berries.
