What would you get?

Recommended Posts

After careful review and a nice little test drive of a Civic SI this weekend, I believe I must remove it from the list of potentials.
Just a blast to drive especially when you start wrapping it up around 6-8 grand. WOW!
But Im fraid with even the 4 door. Theres just no enough room for all the junk I haul.
Im headed toward eliminating all cars that have trunks. I just need the room for more stuff and a hatchback is the way to go. B|

That *is* a bit surprising.... although I suppose you could always go the minivan route, too....

BAH! You get away from here! There is NO mini-van in my future! Unless, Im using it as a temporary residence at a DZ. I will not own one of those crappy things.

I am fond of the cross-over SUVs though. the Matrix, Vibe, Murano, etc.

You should just get a HO. It's has plenty of room for gear, Dutchess and whatever else you want to tow around! If you're lucky, you may even get your own personal driver! :P

And...what other vehicle would be so much fun to say, "Dude, I almost spit sparks all over your Ho"!:D

yes, and Ive sworn off Dodges. its too bad really cuz I like the looks of the Magnum R/T. Dodge seems to have serious trouble building a transmission that can hold up. Ive owned two and both were shot before 80k miles.

and Jen: the HO is just too big for ATL, but the gas milage sucks. Remember Im used to a car that gets 28-34 mpg. ;)

I've got a 2004 blue Subaru Impreza WRX STi sedan. The trunk is not that big. I'm not sure which Suby you're talking about in a wagon. From what I've seen, you can still only get the Impreza WRX STi in a sedan. The Impreza WRX comes in a wagon, with a little less power than the STi. There's also the Outback and Legacy, but I don't think any of them currently fit the STi wagon description. Anyway it's a fun car to drive. My engine and turbo blew out on me but fortunately I bought the extended warranty. I also put a bigger exhaust and a new ECU on it.

FOr what? like what you load up the car and go for a canopy hunting expedition? :S



EXACTLY! Plus Hottielicious regularly plays DD for us, and therefor we use our car. Having 4 doors is just easier for piling drunken skydivers in and out.
why in the hell am I being practical? :|
