Tooling around in that would make you forget a lot of things....including being poor an unfinished(unstarted) projects. Just don't forget you're married, and start cruising the malt shoppe.

Try a Freightliner Classic XL with a Cat C15 ACRET engine.
I just passed the 100,000 mile mark in mine in only ten months. I average about 6 mpg though, and it's a diesel so it may not be the best choice for mileage and operating cost. But OH! The interior room! Brian

How about a new Monte Carlo if you're going bigger?
I don't remember if you're a bigger guy, but personally I'd get into a smaller vehicle. We're really happy with our Impreza, but we need AWD here in the winter, your roads are probably better. I'm driving an Echo for gas mileage (44mpg) right now but honestly its handling/size scare the crap out of me. I rode in the Toyota hybrid when I wrecked my bike and really liked the roominess and it has good pick up. I've always liked the VW Jetta but the Passat is appealing due to the AWD.

Know how to best sell this as a parts car? It's got some fine parts on it. If you look closely you might notice brand-new Kumho tires on the fronts. They are one day old, as is the inspection sticker on the windshield. |

It's Jacquelita's lassie who got the car, she's a hardy sort and was not damaged when this ass in a construction vehicle hit her at 15mph in a Wawa parking lot.
One of her four teenage passengers had the presense of mind to go get a cheap throwaway camera at the Wawa, and the resulting pics proved to the driver's insurance company that she was 0% at fault and thus could get a nice check for more than twice the amount I charged her for the car. |

Saturns are worth getting...you might want to get a new car to fit your needs better, but I would still stick with Saturn...hopefully I'll be getting my new-used Saturn today!

I also have a Sonata, and I really like it for the road; near 30 mpg on open highway, a very nice sound system and a good deal less than the Camry.

Hi david86blue, welcome to the Cellar.
