Some excellent advise !

Some of the higher end stuff I would like her to have but there is absolutely no pride of ownership. Cars are simply tools. No Audi's, Porsche, BMW, Rovers, Premium Japanese brands, I don't think VW's are durable enough.


Our Suburban looks like a Kabul taxi. I bought it brand new and was appalled with things I found for the first few years. It's just rolling stock now.

I asked her what she would like she said "the Outback or Forester Would be great I rented them in the Midwest last summer I think they are durable and cute"

What ever it is it's going to treated like a rented mule. I hate to see something nice treated with out regard, I spend my time taking care of my cars, I just want something that that will be safe, reliable, durable, cost effective. I will drive it on trips only.

Am I missing anything The Ford Escape ?? maybe to small?

The Toyota Sequoias I like, but I would hate to see it get trashed. I don't think they get good mileage either & $$.
