Very nice Chris! I am sure you did your homework.
Cindy and I have decided not to put any more in to the Monte Carlo SS. It's
time to let someone fix it up and drive it like it is meant to be. My use is
rain and snow, and although I like it, if I am going to work on something, I
want it to be the Elky.
That said, the Pathfinder has been an awesome car for us, and it would be
the perfect winter car for me. I have to go 7 miles round trip to work, and
now that it is showing it's age by little things, it's time to slow down
that aging process by having me drive it instead. Cindy will get something
newer, and more fuel efficient, that can still carry animals if she needs
to. 4wd would be a plus, but if she really needs it, the Pathfinder is
capable. She is in the car all day long.
We like wagons, so the search is on, after out trip in August. Outback?
Volvo V50? 325Tix?(only with service paid). We will see.
Congrats again Chris!
JC
