    Well All,
    I cashed in my chips this week for a 2012 Jetta TDI. The 15 US MPG (17 Imp MPG) was not cutting it anymore. I drive too much still and just need to save some money. I will miss my Taco and can see myself getting another one once life slows down a bit. My hobbies will take a bit of a hit with the car... but such is life.
    Huge thanks to everyone who contributes here. This is one of the best sites out there!

    Here are the Pics:

    I sold my 2010 2.5 Golf last September to buy my 2011 Tacoma. I ain't going to lie, there are times that I do really miss my Golf. I don't regret getting my truck because I love my truck. Sometimes I just wanna have a VW to drive around, I always found them to be fun and unique in their own way. There are times that I think to buy a used one to drive, fix up etc. My wallet is telling me no though.
