What kind of car do you drive?

[spoh]

I started a new business that summer, I clean, shop for people, do errands etc. that type of thing. I need to carry lots of things in my car, right now I drive a two door Grand AM, hahaha not ideal by any stretch of the imagination. The only thing it has going for it is the gas mileage.

So I am shopping, I need something priced right (cheap) 4 wheel drive, fairly good on gas,with lots of room. In our town we don't have Kia, Toyota, Honda dealerships, we have GMC, Ford, Pontiac etc. I don't mind traveling to buy a car but with my husbands business he likes to keep things local if at all possible. If I find something that I like that we don't have locally I will have a talk with Mr. Shoplocal.

Oh, and my husband REFUSES for me to drive a mini van.

So what is the best SUV?

Sounds like my hubby - I just killed the van in a wreck and he already said NO MORE MINI-VANS!

I need a bigger SUV or truck for hauling my horse trailer, but I really LOVE Ford's Edge. I've also heard good things about them. A friend of mine has a Freestyle and she likes it but really loved the Edge more - cept it wasn't as functional for her either.

My sister has the Saturn Vue and loves it.
She lives in Michigan and lives out on a gravel road in an old farmhouse.
They do house cleaning and gardening as a sideline.

Darnit I forgot what car Rosie has. She swears by it. It's big enough to carry thing but still small enough where you could drive it like a regular car. Must ask her.

I drive this:

Problem is it wont help you. When I packed it to move up here, I had it jam packed and I didn't have much. It's a good thing I didn't have to bring the bunnies too or else it would have been a 2 trip deal!

You are right, it won't help me. That is the size that I have and I love it but it's just to small and not real good in the snow. It's a 2005 Pontiac Grand AM GT, it drives great, it is very fast and all kinds of bells and whistles.......it's just to darn small.

Does anybody have a Jeep Grand Cherokee? I drove one this weekend and I did like it but something is still holding me back.

Yes, what does Rosie drive? Inquiring minds want to know!

This is my first car so I don't have a clue how it handles on snow compared to others. But I have done my fair share of nasty winter mountaindriving in the last month and I haven't ended up in the ditch so far, lol.

Toyota 4runner she says. Is that too minivan-ish for your husband?

 

[GoinBackToCali]

I recommend a truck with a bed cover.. I am very shy, a virtual wallflower... so I like to drive low key vehicles... see....

Better idea of the actual color, which is GoMANGo..

My husband is low key...

The downside is... I can never stalk or follow anyone properly...
