[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Where is everyone? : We do have one, but it's red :) It's an older one, a 95. Michael and his mom bought it brand new when he was 16, and agreed to keep it mostly stored so he could keep it and one day have a classic car that he was the only owner. It's been garaged for 17 years and only has a few thousand miles on it. He's decided that he'll pass it along to baby Rambo on her 16th b-day :) I freaking love the way the new ones look, and we test drove one for Michael before we bought the jeep. I hate sports cars...I feel like I'm dragging my ass on the ground. I need something that sits higher up. Star, diesels are great, especially if you like to buy a car and keep it for a long time. My FIL has a truck that has about 850,000 miles on it. They are more expensive to maintain, but will pretty much outlive the body of the vehicle. I'm not sure if they still do, but Cummins (dodge diesel truck motors) have a million miles club...when/if your engine makes it to one million miles, they'll replace it with a new one. They've come along way with the new clean diesel technology, too. You might pay a little more for the gas, but you'll get at least twice the mileage out of it. Before we got rid of Michael's diesel truck, we had switched over to using biodiesel fuel, and it was great...other than when his truck smoked, it kind of smelled like a french fry, or mexican food, depending on the restaurant the oil came from :)

did you store it at home? I wish we could do this. We wouldn't be ripped to SHREDS by our homeowners association.

We did. Michael knew someone who converted it, and he would get this big drum filled up. We kept it in a locked shed, so it was out of sight.

Star- CRV's are the way to go.

And now the dealing begins, suddenly the sales manager wants me to stop by the dealership, NOT!
