The closest they got to the countryside was driving past Hyde Park.<br /><br />We had a Land Rover growing up - but we lived on a farm, so that was acceptable.<br /><br />You're not wrong, Suki - but I'll admit we got rid of our 'small' car (a Suburu) because it was so damn scary driving on the American roads in a car that was half the size of the SUVs and trucks.Roland Hulmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979437320446956987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-36363194290751175472009-10-21T09:31:01.946-07:002009-10-21T09:31:01.946-07:00Hehe, my uncle had/has a car that was 40 years old...Hehe, my uncle had/has a car that was 40 years old. He'd paid over three times its cost in maintenance, and had to nurse the thing all over the place. Now THAT is old, beyond classic! <br />After five(ten?) years of being persuaded to get a new car, he got a year-old Maruti Alto(tiny 4-seater). They're saving potloads :P<br /><br />To go off on a tangent, there is one thing I completely fail to understand. <br /><br />Why does one person need an SUV or Landrover? What's wrong with the 4-seater tiny fuel-savers that are all over the streets in India?Sukhalokahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839282055547314024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13313594.post-85964584576198574542009-10-20T22:42:47.575-07:002009-10-20T22:42:47.575-07:00As I get older, I learn that things don't get ...As I get older, I learn that things don't get old, they get 'classic'.

Mine have always been newer and I have been making payments. I did have a paid off Jeep for two years.<br /><br />Now I am considering paying off my car, savings money for a down on a Mini and then double or tripling the payments to get it paid off.paisley penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10274722432486995047noreply@blogger.com
