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!

mountains.
