I "wanted" a diesel a VW diesel. 99% of the time they are simply not within my means financially. One time I had a chance to get a VW diesel pickup alas it could only take 3 people (and tightly) so I could not get it. Metro was next. Near diesel economy (although no ability to make "bio" fuel for it like diesels) but it could hold 4 people (I actually shoe horned 5 people in it once and it took it well. about the same mass (lighter people in the back) but still wow that was a tight fit. Just to the mall though they all had there own rides home.

Got a new shift knob for it tonight. I was getting tired of touching the slimy sticky one that came with it. I am conjuring images of 15 years of nasty sweaty palms :-) yuck. much better now and a lot taller which is much better for me.

Also got the new stereo installed and replaced 2 of the speakers (got to replace the other 2 as well) just simply 4" replacements no upgrades not needed. Got a wicked neat stereo at walmart for $40 ! no cd just radio SD USB and Line in. All that I need :-) Very impressed with it considering it was $40. if it holds up well I am going to try to get 1 or 2 more to keep on hand for other cars as the radio's die etc..
