Hey Shades - can you change my title from "God" to "Anonymous Coward" please? Apparently it suits me. Thanks!

This board is tough. Should I respond with the classic "the third grade called. They said they want their insult back." Or should I respond with the more truthful "my dad died of brain cancer in 1998." Decisions, decisions.

Or better yet, read consumer reports.


How about that, plus a nice test drive?

Take the drive if you must, but watch out for the financing, it is a killer.

A test drive is purely emotional based. (What does that sound like?) It's not going to tell you if the transmission is going to hit the pavement after your first payment.

I'm having second thoughts on the two brands. Perhaps all cars are equally wrong decisions and thus I should purchase a bike.

don't worry, I wouldn't make y decision based on one test drive. I would exhaust my recourses in choosing. But as you can see, perhaps no car is the best option.

Third grade, indeed...

Or maybe a jet pack. Don't limit yourself. Once you break free from the car paradigm, the only limitations are the ones you create.
