I don't know....SUV's are great when you have kids....but I don't anymore!!! LOL they grew up and I didn't! LOL
"She" only has 62,000 miles on her!!! And I just looked thru my files...don't even have a pic to share! Darn! LOL

I wasn't sure what color mine was going to be. I just know I didn't want silver if it could be helped. Black was Ok for the Magnum, but I didn't really want it on the Charger. I didn't really want white, but if it had to be, I was gonna put some flames or something on it to dress it up a bit. We really liked the look of the Inferno Red ones. If it were to be a Charger, I really, really liked the purple, with yellow, lime, and orange coming in at a tie for a close second. All those colors were only available with the Daytona package, which was even more money. I liked the red charger, too. or blue.... color wasn't really too big of a deal bc I liked them all, really. I have never seen this color my Magnum is, but I like it!

Especially when my sister's in the passenger seat and we bring the two Standard Poodles. It's much nicer when my Dad takes us in his van.
I am mostly content with my Geo. I actually have transportation, it runs well and gets me around!

I think those cars should be getting close to a reality. They come with everything else these days.

I think everyone really thought things were going to be like on the Jetson's by the year 2000! I used to be scared of that when I was a kid!

Some SUV's aren't too bad. SOmething you would definatley look at before purchasing, though. My Durango got 23 mpg on our trip to the beach, and that was with sitting in traffic for over an hour....but, normally, it was doing better and better. It was getting around 18-20 at the end...(which I know isn't the best, no where near what your Saturn gets, I'm sure.)
I have a 1974 VW super beetle in the garage...they get around 40!

I'm with you, Live2Teach...I LOVE my SUV and don't ever want it to wear out! It's a Jeep Cherokee Grand that I've had for 12 years. Still looks
"stylin" and is so easy to load and unload groceries OR FABRIC :lol: out the hatchback! Don't think I'll ever be without an SUV. :P

So nice to read about all the quilters who have love affairs with their cars. I have had my Alfa Romeo spider convertible since 1991. "He" helped get me through the rough times in my life so I'm really attached to him!

My dream car was the Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe til I found out they only get about 13 mpg.
I am stuck with my 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan til I get rich. At least it gets 19 mpg.
