present drive:
91 Dodge Caravan 124400 miles
Pros: For some reason, I've become the family 'taxi driver'. This makes the seating for 7, or the cargo space if I dismount the seats vital.
Cons: 15-20 mpg at best, large wheelbase and body requiring additional due diligence in manuvering and parking situations.
Replacement?
Unlike a lot of people, I'm a lot more flexable as far as vehicular requirements. I'd prefer a base MPG of over 20, but the truely critical item is a 3rd door. As I've said, to much 'taxi' work that means rear seat access without displacing people in the front seats is vital. Maintaining any cargo capacity would be nice but no where near as important. About the only thing that would be right out are the Scions. I already drive a box on wheels; there is no reason to replace it with something impossibly even more box like!!!
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
