I agree!
I own a tdi golf and am able to travel 800 miles on a tank of biodiesel. If you are willing to do your own maintenance and not take it to the dealer, it could easily be the cheapest car you ever own and 195 ft/lb makes it a much funner car to own than a hybrid.
If I were you, I'd at least test drive one to see how far diesels have progressed.
BTW, I've found www.tdiclub.com to be an invaluable resource for owning a tdi.
AFAIK, HTPC owners buy creative drives because they are cheap and reliable enough to losslessly rip/backup tracks onto/from their computers. Listening to music from your hard drive eliminates the need for reclocking like a pre/pro setup so the problem of jitter is significantly and cheaply reduced.
Also...since this guy was talking about mp3's, I doubt he cares about jitter.
The real problem to solve in HTPC's now is all the interference from the (electrically) noisy power supplies.
