Meet Gerte

We have a new family car to replace the Elantra. Meet Gerte, our new Jetta SportWagen. She's a sporty car with a diesel engine that gets amazing gas mileage.  The additional room in the trunk is also a welcome addition with our 2 kids. She needs a good cleaning but other than that, she's in perfect shape and drives like a dream. Alden is really excited about our new car, as are Kerstin and I. Elliott is still ambivalent but we're confident that he will grow to love her too.
