I apparently never photograph my vehicles (at least the 4 wheeled ones).

Mine is the black one, 2003. Wife's is the white one, 2004.

Even though we have moved to the country, where roads are wide and parking lots are big, and where she has a two car garage to herself, she want a small car now.

I'll never get rid of mine (it does exactly what I want). 11.2 mpg.

But this wouldn't be a bad addition:

Ha Ha! Nice one Harry

My Omega has 152,000 miles on the clock , 42,000 of which are mine . Still doesn't use oil between service intervals , though I do change the oil more frequently than recommended , good cheap preventative maintenance!

95% highway driving , at 85-90 most of the time , does the job , but gas is now up to £1.07/ Litre ! Time for a protest me-thinks.

Now this may sound a little odd, but even though the H2 is tall and wide, it isn't nearly as long as most SUVs, heck I think it's over 2 fee shorter than my wife's snowball. Therefore, I can whip it around like a sports car. I can park in compact spaces. And if you take off those darn roof rack cross bars (which are easily removable) you can get it almost any parking garage. I think they make fine compact cars.

Sprock, you definately need to show those hippies a thing or two about torque!!
Get a big old fricken' diesel rollback and drive it every day to work. Stop near their houses with logging chains and just pull random trees out of the ground by the roots and leave them laying in odd places. And if you see a cat near the road, swerve to hit it. They really hate that chit.
