Depends on what you're looking for. I'm considering a new car as well, since the idea of riding in the rain has me a little skittish now. I just found a '97 4runner V6 with a 5 speed, 4x4. 188k miles and its 3400. Really considering it, owned by an old retired couple its whole life.

Drove my '97 Saturn SL2 to an interview a couple days ago... got 35 MPG. Nearly all freeway miles. Around town it usually gets 27-28 MPG. Oh, and it's got 218k on the clock...

I'm going to second the Subaru. Absolutely love my Outback. Good gas mileage, good performance, AWD, easy maintenance, run forever, and hold their value.

Had a 78 Ford Stepside 4x4 with the 300 straight and 4 speed manual and an '81 Jeep CJ7 with the 258 straight six....both were and absolute blast to drive and super easy to work on.

Ive had an 83 CJ7, 83 K10, and 89 K1500. All were fun to wheel and work on. I'm probably gonna look for something like one of them after I finish my move

Oh boy. You run and drive a Subaru? Why don't you toss a snowboard rack on top, throw a collection of appropriately ironic bumper stickers on the back, and just move to Boulder Colorado already?

Or Massachusetts
Woah woah now...you're right.

Stop talking about me. Bought my Outback in Massachusetts and put stickers and a rocket box on it. Then I moved to Colorado...
Now I have a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab which I dearly love. Put 50k miles on it this morning, it's an 06!

Mmm yes well played.
The fact that I was awake this morning makes it busy...
My arenacross standby was fun. Ages 4-55+. A variety of injuries and personalities and only one transport.

I try to convince my wife to move to CO at least once a month (she's from there). I tried earlier today, actually... She keeps giving me some crap about not wanting our kid to grow up away from his grandparents [emoji19] I do have a bike rack... [emoji13] I refuse to put stickers on, though. I won't even put my department sticker on, which is heresy to some around here.

Random thought: I'm curious how people sound. We should do a massive group phone call.

For 20 years I've heard, "You should be on the radio." "You should be an announcer at theme parks." Plus others.

Got pulled over once coming off a 30 days on (2 days off at the 14 day mark) straight work period so needless to say I was going well over the posted speed limit. Cop noticed my gear sitting in the bed of the truck, and the 1 dept. sticker on the back window. Got off with a verbal warning, I think I was going 70 in a 55.
