Quick, Like a Rabbit

When I first considered the idea of buying a diesel car - almost three years ago now - I thought, "Gee, aren't they kind of smelly and noisy?" I mean, I knew they had great gas mileage and all, but I grew up on a farm, and diesel tractor fumes are still in some of my outdoor clothes. Well, after I leased my VW Golf TDI, I changed my tune. This car was not only quiet and odor-free, it more than held its own on the freeway with great torque for passing. In Germany, you see Golfs (they recently changed the name back to Rabbit) all the time on the Autobahn and not in the slow lane.
