went car shopping today...
There is nothing I want.
I don't know what it is, but nothing was exciting enough to spend any money.
Drove
G35X
Murano
Pilot
X-Type
S40
S60
Liked the S60 the best out of everything there
Murano is the nicest and most practical for what I need the car for.
Time to go look at more tomorrow.
I tell you what...we have a '98 '01 and '03 Jeep Grand Cherokees here at the house, I enjoy driving any of those, more than I want to drive anything else today.

I have to have something big enough to bring 2-3 other people around.
Also, I pretty much need AWD or 4WD
Driving on construction sites.

my best advice on buying a new car is... figure out what you want, then get the internet sales price.

no, I didn't need it in Arizona. If you need nav there you should take a pencil and stab it in your head, because that place is easy to navigate than Hilton's twat.
But I will need it for NC, since I will be driving from site to site/ building to building.

you can always use the 2 grand you save at the dealer and have a nice aftermarket head unit/dvd navi system installed in the car.

I am also going to test drive the
Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab
F-150
Lincoln's new Pickup
I can write off a truck over 6000 pounds. up to a certain limit I believe.
