Pre-owned that fits the mileage and seating requirements would work too though.

We are supposed to go out looking today but I have no idea where to start (except Toyota...I am familiar with that make)

Hundai is already a no, so is Dodge and Ford. What else is out there??

For the past few days, I have been totally ODing on the TV series "Breaking Bad" The one show I vehemently held out on till the end. Now I'm paying the price. Went to sleep at 5:30 am last night. I could have avoided all of this if I had just gone ahead and watched the first episode on line from the get go, then I wouldn't have been so turned off by the whole premise. I've still missed a few episodes, no way I could keep my eyes open straight through these past couple of nights.

Yep, it's official, I'm a junkie, this is addictive behavior, I'm hooked on BB.

BB final episode is coming up this weekend. Wondering how this is gonna turn out....

Walter White is a strange character...... he thinks he can talk his way out of anything.......

I'm at work today, sucks, I hate working weekends. I'm waiting on some contractors to finish up their work so I can do mine....

Hearing good stuff about the Ford Escape. American cars have really come up in quality the last few yrs, no reason to discount them like people used to, matter of fact Toyota has been having more recalls in the last several yrs than Ford.

there are dozens of cars that fit this criteria. pretty much any 4 door sedan or wagon that is under 30k

you need to narrow it down. will you have 3 tall adults in the back seat every day or a few teenagers once in a while? do you want to carry large cargo like boxes or bicycles? do you care if it's fast/sexy? do you like it really quiet in the car? do you like whizbang gadgets or simple dash layouts? etc, etc, etc...

i frequently rent an escape. good car but the sirius radio interface makes me want to carry a handgun just to shoot the dashboard

i'll put mazda 3 wagon into the mix but as i just posted, it's really too vague a set of criteria for any good suggestions

I would never suck someone's toes. That makes me want to vomit just thinking about it, especially if the feet were not scrubbed prior to engaging. Eck.

Oh. I guess I presumed she was looking for a car for her and the kids.

I had a Ford before I got my Honda and I prefer Ford. People seem to have issues with Ford but I'm not sure why...

Indeed WW is a strange one. I will be watching the beginning of season 5 starting tonight, so I couldn't be happier about how my weekend is turning out, other than missing out on beach time, because I am going to have to catch up on some sleep for staying up so late into the whee hours.

The episode they left off with is the one where Gusto whatever his name is face was blown off. Love it, but would enjoyed more seeing him die a slow death. He sure held onto his air of sophistication till the end. LOL I can't wait to see what happens next and how the finale plays out. I get why so many loved this show. I will miss it once it's over though I've only just come to be a viewer in the past few days. That wife is a ball of contradictions and hypocrisies, but, then again, who can 100% throw stones.

Great show. 1 more day
