Yes TDI. I love it.
Great engine. I always thought it funny that everyone got so excited over the original hybrids, when Volkswagen had been getting high fuel mileage for years with their diesels, with good sized cars. I do appreciate the newer hybrids, but the TDI is very hard to beat on the highway. I tried to get a Jetta a number of years ago, but they were going for more than retail here for a while. I ended up buying something else and don't need a different car yet.

Temp when I got to work today.
Thanks Brian, that is what I have decided. The only thing I have yet to do is actually purchase anything. Yeah, having grown up in an electronics shop, I don't believe magic claims. lol
I went to a friend's house on Sunday and he asked me if I rode my bike over there or not. He thought he was making a joke but normally I would have ridden the bike but he was too close to gear up / gear off for that little distance.
The absolute worst thing about winter riding is all the perspiring that goes on during the 'getting ready' phase and the actual riding. Then the cold wind hits all the exposed, damp skin and is like an ice- pick wake up call. Then the discomfort sets in before the heated gear settles into some stable point. Nothing worse than riding at 20 F for five minutes; too long to go in shirt- sleeves and too short to shed off the overheating from gearing up.

So true, when I'm getting ready to head out, I get dressed in the garage. Cooler then the house, warmer then outside. Helps to stave off the sweating part. Added heated gloves yesterday. First piece of heated gear and worked great this morning!!
Rode home from work today in rain/snow mix,first day with the heated gloves. Wow.....so nice!! Although yesterday was colder, today was nastier. Tomorrow taking the cage.
Lookin at the radar for your area. Looks to be cage weather for a while.
