Selected quotes:
"you make way too much money to be driving a Porsche 911" - I found this
particularly humorous! Don't recall hearing that from the dealer or bank.
"Car-O-Scope has determined that you are a person who is quite concerned with
status. And yet, you're driving a Porsche 911." - Where exactly is up from
here? Damn sure isn't the suggested Dodge Colt Vista!
"If you dumped that Porsche 911 and got yourself a Chevrolet K2500, you'd be a
lot happier." - At least partially correct. I need a good tow vehicle<g>.
1. BMW 528 - Maybe an M5, 740 or Z8 - I'm easy to please. I really liked my 745
until my SO wrecked it.
2. Dodge Colt Vista - say what?!
3. Chevrolet K2500 - good tow candidate and handles the Utah snow real well.
4. Peugeot 505 - sits just above a Yugo on my dream car list
5. Saab 9000CD - OK, I liked the Turbo Saab I drove in the early 80's a LOT.
But I'd do a V70 given the choice of a modern troll-mobile. And the 240 the SO
now drives is easier on the pocketbook to replace when she wrecks it again (the
first 240 lasted two weeks before said wrecking - admittedly not her fault).
