Go to Post People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. - Koko Ed [more]

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.
