Shoulda bought a Honda. I feel like I'm driving a 7-passenger sports car in mine

244hp from a little V-6! I remember when 5.0 Mustangs had 225, and that was supposed to be hot.

Thats what the wife was looking at. A 2007 loaded, the deal was 19k cash and her Accord and from what I understand it was a very good deal. We drove some of the honda's and I think she is going to settle for a Pilot, its kind of a cross between a mini van and a suv.

And this is why I love my mom even more haha. Her current vehicle is starting to show its age and I asked her what she wanted to replace it with... "A diesel pickup for the snowmobiling trips and camping etc etc, I don't want a car, minivan or another SUV"

We went and looked at a 07.5 mega cab 6.7.... She fell in love with the truck haha

Just thought i'd share.. my dad just a bought a loaded 4wd Toyota FJ cruiser. I haven't seen it yet as I'm off at college but I'm going home this weekend and I'm gonna test it out . We had an 83 FJ60, that thing was a beast, but 1000 dollars every 6 months for misc. stuff was too much. So now we have the new one, and I must say it could make a fairly nice family vehicle.
