    No cars are truly comfortable, but those buicks were downright dangerous. The rear view mirror was placed so that at a 4 way stop I would have to scrunch down to see if there were any vehicles to my right. It was like trying to drive a Porsche, but without the power, handling, or status symbol.

    Oh, and the trunk space sucked.

    3 hours of driving just to get to where other drivers start their day. I am appreciative of the fact that they let me deadhead that far every week.

    If anyone is in the Pocatello area hit me up for their number. I'll give you all the info on the company. Just don't put me down as a referral so we don't break TTR rules. I enjoy the forum more than some $300 referral bonus.

    the used car market is downright silly. i am looking to replace my dd. i have never bought a new car. i refuse to pay the inflated prices for used vehicles so a new car purchase is where i'm currently sitting.

    i'm mechanically inclined, id much rather buy something needing attention. but even i have standards and i'll never own a mid 90s cougar or 10-15-20 year old full size suv lol

    My standards are : comfortable , easy to work on and repair and service , under $8k , 4wd so I can get to the hunting shack and room for hauling lumber and appliances and bags of cement , and towing my 8 or 10 or 18 foot trailers.



    Mrs Roundhouse is a different story .
    She wants : small, sporty ,manual transmission, pain in the neck to work on.

    her first car was a chevy cavalier 5 speed , followed by a Mitsubishi eclipse 5 speed , 98 beetle turbo 5 speed, 2001 beetle turbo 5 speed , 2009 Mini Cooper turbo 6 speed .
