the weather's been horrible for pictures this week. if it clears up tomorrow, we'll go on a shoot.

I've had 3 tanks of gas so far - 27mpg on 2 different combined tanks and 25mpg on a city tank. not bad for my lead foot.

I definitely think the jetta is geared differently than the beetle - either ratio-wise or shift timing-wise. it's definitely quicker off the line. that or the beetle's tranny was clogged up with metal gear bits and wasn't working like it should have been.
