Hi Member Chewytata,
I like the PT Cruiser's.... I've seen some really nice ones here in Florida...+ they can carry a Surf Board
Any vehicle is great `if the owner likes it...I'm just happy/thankful that we have so many choices in vehicles.

To me, it's the Tesla. At first was oh wow, an electric car that does not look like either:
a 70s fiberglas kit car or


a micro crackerbox on 3 wheels.


Now I see it as an elitist statement. Cost is real high, government subsidies and such. Having a super-duper Tesla charging station near my work means I see them by the 100s.

I would electrify a Monte Carlo if I could though. Just to get the benefits of it without the electric car look

Here, I gotta say 4 wheel drive pickup truck, everybody has one, and they are and expensive toy. You might be lucky to get 15mpg with one.
So my son is a Construction mgr. he now wants his own truck for work. So I have been telling him about several I have found, but if it isn't a 4 wheel drive high water machine he isn't interested. I thought you wanted a work truck? Yeah but I need it to be this type, he says. I told him to buy a gas station at the same time.

I second that Mike, it's so hard to tell what is what anymore. I had that same thought a couple weeks back trying to understand all the vehicles I was looking at.

LOL Drivernumber3, what is it with all the lifted trucks everywhere. But 75% are never operated in places where they would even require the additional frame clearance. Anyway the larger tile is what lifts the differential and such away from the ground. All that extra money spent to life the truck is for the most part un-needed. Go buy a gas station, lol now that's true and funny. I get about 16mpg hwy with my GMC 4x4, around town be I'm getting 13.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I have 2 of them, Pontiac Torrent and Chevy Equinox, but the wife didn't let me pick what I wanted. Camaro or Corvette.


When the mini-van was semi-deleted the dealers called them (Crossovers) and that's all you see. Some of them have no style at all they are just plain ugly. But the people who get them ,that are (all wheel drive) think they are invincible on the road, they don't drive for the conditions.

I'm starting to get sick of the newer gens Dodge Chargers. I have a million dollar slogan for Dodge and it fits them to a T... Dodge, hey, at least it ain't a Ford. Copyright pending. Hope I didn't offend any Dodge or Ford lovers. Lol.
