Re: What kind of car do you drive??

I just bought a new car ... well, it's a midsize SUV. But I have a good reason, really!

First of all, the vehicle is a 2002 Saturn VUE. It's black/silver, has a V6 engine and is equipped with AWD. It also has air conditioning, cup holders and is safe, unlike the '93 Saturn SL2 I was driving up until a month ago.

The reason for not buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle? I go to school in Houghton, Michigan. For those who don't know, it's way way up north, in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It starts snowing in September, and doesn't let up until March. Our average yearly snowfall is between 250"-300" of snow. And don't get me started on the hills! They're crazy steep. So when I was vehicle-shopping, it needed to be something with 4WD or AWD, preferably with a larger engine and that was safer to drive than my tiny car. The VUE fit everything we were looking for (and I'm now a loyal Saturn customer - woo!) and it still gets pretty good gas milage; 18-20mpg city, and 25-28mpg highway.
