Used Car of the Day: 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI
The year 2005 seems like yesterday but it's darn near two decades ago. Yikes. Let's put aside our existential angst to check out a car from that model year that's still rolling -- a 2005 Volkswagen Passat TDI.
Ask Bark: The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Lover
Steve writes:
Mr. Bark:
My lady lives 650 miles away. Most of the time I fly to see her, but over the past 18 months I have put 40,000 miles on my Ford F-150 due to the odd weekends where it’s too expensive to fly, I can’t board my dog, or I want to do a detour and visit my parents in Arkansas.
What do you think is the best vehicle for frequent, long road trips? There has to be come kind of calculus that will help determine a balance between comfort, economy and longevity, but I keep coming back to my F-150. Also, breaking off the relationship with the lady is not an option.
Thanks,
Steve H.
Thanks for the formal greeting, Mr. Steve. Gosh, so many variables to consider, and less than a thousand words to do it in! Let’s get to it.
