My ride's for sale...bought it offa Reggie Bush last year. ...But I keep bottoming out on the Abita traffic circle.
I got an '04 Explorer fits # 1 and # 3 of your hopes. Decent fuel mileage for a mid-sized SUV, but nothing to brag about. i've pulled a 22 foot Ranger deepV (big heavy sonofabitch) with it, so it's got pulling power if you need it. A/C is cold. Oh, but if your wife backs into you brother-in-law's aluminum hull, it's possible that your right rear tailight will shatter.
I certainly didn't pay cash for my car, but I plan on keeping it for quite awhile. We will most likely have to upgrade my wifes car to a larger model once we have children, but we will keep hers until we have to replace it.
no, i have one, but just one. if daycare wasnt so hard to find (its 15 miles away) i might be able to do without it. ooooh, camping would be tough. i guess id have to keep it
Thanks for the help! We settled on a Toyota Sequoia. Sorry GM...no cash from me. Sorry Al Gore...no hybrid for me.
