I kinda feel bad saying that now since I named my car. But I hate Ernie (my car).

LOL Rach. I love that you drive a monte carlo. Those things are fug.

Had a salad with chick peas and a bunch of other stuff with sun dried tomato dressing, a rice cake, and a banana. Its hot as hell in here today so I'm glad I didn't bring soup. I'm finishing up some things and analyzing data while figurong out why the heck nothing is working in this new lab. Fun.

I've had four cars - Two Dodges, a Pontiac and now my Chevy.  I think I'm a Chevy convert.  WHOA.  My dad's always been a Ford man, but the Ford dealership didn't have exactly what he wanted exactly when he wanted it, so he ended up getting a big Dodge truck.  It's weird seeing him in it, especially since my BIL drives a big ass Dodge too.

My first Dodge (Diplomat) was a '78 and my second Dodge (STRATUS) was an 05.  That's the one that got stolen and was totalled.  Oops.

Haha! Well yeah hey I'd ride it out (hah see what I did there) until you have to if its free, I get that for sure.

My first car was a '99 Pontiac Bonneville that my mom gave me in college when she finally bought a new car. I friggin LOVED that thing. It's name was The Boat, or sometimes Bertha. It was HUGE and I miss it. :( After it committed suicide I got this dumb ass Elantra.

Thanks, Ski! Yours is beautiful, as well. I don't know.of I could eat baked avocado, but I do love it on salads and sandwiches and guac and all.

I think the Ford/Chevy/Dodge thing is so funny out in the country. J's family are all Chevy men so when he got the Ford Expedition this past Feb after having a Chevy Blazer, his whole family acted like he married into a cult or something. It was hilarious.

kd.joseph

Well my last 5 vehicles have been Honda's, so me going for a Ford is breaking my heart.

And I'll be honest I LOVE my Ridgeline. She's just getting up there in miles.

musicalsunlight

Hah my Bonneville is technically discontinued only because it went out of business.

All I know is I need a bigger car. I'm fucking 5'11 and I fit into my boxcar shithole only because I have to.

We had a Malibu and Mazda as rentals last week. The Malibu was a POS with mileage, but the Mazda wasn't too bad. Of course, N is in love with his Corolla aand obsessively tracks.his.gas mileage and all. We're looking.to get a Rav 4 in September so we have a "family car." At least it's not a minivan.

Ooooh Nates.  You must not have had a newer Malibu Mine's an 09 and I get roughly 30-35 highway.  Tis AWESOME

ski2play

I am looking to get a new (to me) vehicle this fall.  I have been loving the Honda CRV lately.  Just waiting on my daughters car to commit suicide so that I have a reason to give her the Ford Taurus that I am driving.  Then, and only then, momma is getting a new vehicle.  I so miss having leather interior and a moon roof.

Posted by AllAboutTheBenjamin[/QUOTE]

Haha it is crazy how big of a deal it is. I don't have a huge preference really. A Traverse is like a glorified minivan isn't it? I would consider an Expedition a truck though. 

J knows that once this Expedition is done (its a 2002 and we bought it with 110,000 miles...basically a care to last a few years before we get regular jobs), he wants a Toyota Tundra. So going completely against the 'Murrican truck tradition thing.

That Tundra is fucking sexy though. We test drove one and it was awesome.

Oh it has to do with a piece of carpet coming between the gas and brake pedal. Minor, easy fix.

I loved my H's 05' Escape it handled great. But, he traded it for his F150 and we dont need 2 trucks, plus they are hard to fit in the garage in winter.

And I love the gas mileage, it has the Ecoboost so it's 30 on the Hwy.

adamar15

Musu, the Tundras are bitchin.  I love my 4Runner.  The only annoying thing is the position of the gas tank, but I figure if that's the only thing I don't like then I'm doing good.

Was she your husbands 3rd wife? ;)

My ex left me for this nutjob, he soon found out how looney she was. She started stalking me, for like 3 years even after my ex and her were divorced. He's on his 4th now, and I think she still bothers him. I felt like I moved to witness protection when I moved up here.

H didnt believe me till I let him read the 6 page (front and back) type written letter on floral paper she wrote to me. And that was the second one!

I want an SUV but I just can't bring myself to get a car with anything but amazing gas mileage since FI drives a big daddy diesel lifted, huge tires, the whole bit chevy truck. I have an old as heck Acura now and I'm most likely getting a Subaru soonish. I joked with FI that I have to get the fast models because we aren't "earthy" enough for half of them.

What is up with the gas tank position? And yes I agree, they are totally bitchin. I really like the new 4Runners a lot too. I probably will end up getting a Toyota SUV or crossover like the Highlander.

It seems really high up.  I have to hold my arm up at a weird level to fill it.  I've never had that issue before, and I've always driven trucks or jeep-like things.  Plus if I don't click the gas cap 65687894168 times I end with a flashing light on my dash giving me an error.  I heard another woman talking about that at Toyota when I was there getting my oil changed the other day.

Huh, interesting. I had to really get used to pulling the "gas tank" switch before getting out of the car when I first got my Elantra. Otherwise I'd get out and have to run back in to pull it. Annoying.

Yeah I'm still getting used to doing that too.  I accidentally popped the hood the other day.

Shitballs, AATB, that is awesome. That's what N gets with his Corolla and he was cursing that Malibu.out since gas is.so.expensive.out there. Rental cars are always POS.
