What Car Are You Thankful For?

We've had great responses for our QOTDs recently and the holidays are really a time for quickly resetting your fantasy lineups when you realize Thursday Night Football is happening, so we'll make it easy: what car are you thankful for?

This is a little out of left field, but I'm truly thankful for the current VW Golf TDI. It's possible Volkswagen will completely screw up the next generation, but for now the car's got almost everything you'd need in a a vehicle. It sits four comfortably, has a hatchback, is remarkably fun to drive for a FWD vehicle, sips diesel, and has enough torque to keep things interesting. Did I mention the manual transmission? It's actually the perfect car for a large portion of the population and it simultaneously carries the diesel and Eurohatch flame.

This is an open-ended question, so just share what you're grateful for in general or grateful to own/borrow.
