Oh god my eyes. Do not drink and weld. You will spend the rest of the evening cursing the one time you forgot to nod the helmet down.

I'm looking at a 2012 Sportwagon TDI tomorrow. I feel like I need to turn in my man card or something. Quick, someone find me something for under $20k that gets 30MPG and doesn't look like a loaf of wonder bread.

Re: Sportwagon Here's the short explanation. I have a 40 mile commute each day. My Rx-7 is not a winter car by any means (and thus far it's been nasty) and I'm tired of wondering what will break next. Case in point, I overboosted last night and shoved the intercooler piping into the crank pulley, cutting a good 1/4" into a cast aluminium elbow. I've looked at CX-5's, 3's, and Fords equivalent. I seem to be stuck on a wagon due to the shear amount of space they offer. If I buy a brand new car, like a 3, I'll end up spending 7k more then a $18k TDI just to get similar packages, like heated seats/nav/bluetooth. Plus I still haven't gotten over how much in depreciation I lost on the new Mazda 3 hatch I bought in 08. Three years later and I barely sold it for what I had left in the loan. I'm open to options, but my guide lines are pretty much: new car = around $20k and 30MPG or used = $10-20k. There are some great choices if you remove the gas mileage requirement, but this is mainly my commuter/run to the beach/drop+pick son up from school car and he's not getting any smaller.

I was offered my dream job this week. It's going to mean no time for cars for a bit, but I can't turn it down. I'm not sure I will ever get a opportunity like this again. The next few weeks are going to be interesting. Also, no new car yet  . I'm tempted to look at a 08 Mazda 3 GT Hatchback. It's a 5spd, and it's cheap. ~28MPG and up to 36MPG Freeway.

The short answer: Director of Infrastructure for a soon to be fortune 500. I can't get in to it yet due to some legal issues. but let me put it this way: My IT budget is the same as my current companies annual income...
