I'll tell you what Les....I have done all I can do to convince her she needs either a Montero SR or LC80 series but she really doesn't want another 4x4 SUV......I know, Blasphemy! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Since she is convinced she wants a car I must do my part to make sure we don't get a slow POS. I'm reaching 40 with a kid and dogs so agreeing with my wife on a safe wagon was a no brainer but I'll be damned if we end up in a rig with "simulated wood grain siding" that can barely power its own weight.

On a serious note though... Last night we were coming home from my dads Christmas party and this guy almost rear ends us doing over 50MPH. I was stopped waiting for traffic to clear to turn left when I saw him flying towards us in the rear view mirror and not even slowing down. My daughter was sleeping in the back of our puny Sunfire. I said/yelled "Oh crap/ OHHHHH" as I thought we were about to be severely rear-ended and thankfully the guy looked up at the last minute and barely missed us not ever applying his brakes. HE almost went off the road due to over correcting. Dang!......What if? My kid was sleeping in the back right over the gas tank. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I was a little shaken up by the near miss just thinking about "what if". That damn car has always been invisible to others on the road, this is like the 50th time somebody has almost completely taken us out.......I've had it. I'm wrapping them in a Volvo. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />
