New Car
Dec 31, 2013
I decided years ago that my ideal vehicle would be large enough to carry almost all of my essential tools and supplies, but fuel efficient, and – most importantly – capable of running on pure biodiesel. Of course it had to be affordable, so a new car was out of the question, but I wanted a car that would last for many years to come, so it couldn’t be too old either.
Given the amount of funds I was able to save up (and my unwillingness to go into debt to buy a car) my search quickly narrowed down to a VW Jetta wagon. I began actively searching in July, but competition was fierce! It took five months to find the right one and make an offer before someone else got it.
So StereoMan starts the New Year with a new (for me) car, the car of my dreams, a car that treads very lightly on the Earth yet will carry me safely and comfortably to 95% of my service calls. I’ll keep my gas guzzler Dodge Dakota for those few jobs that require heavy hauling, or until I get a trailer to tow behind my Jetta. Did I mention it came with a trailer hitch?
Lots more changes on the horizon for StereoMan. The new car is an auspicious start.
