I would agree with the black, but a hot red is also nice with flashy gold. But, to be honest, if it were me, I'd just leave it alone.... I am not a big fan of pinstripes.

If I lived out west, I probably would want one. I would definitely hit the sand dunes with a 4WD. But, living in the city, you can't really take full advantage of one...

Normally we do, but this year we are actually doing the visiting! It will be a nice change, and we won't be stuck with the preperations! Of course, we'll assist with clean-up, but it's still different when it's not your house.

For some reason, I guess I never thought you could skid in a 4WD vehicle, but I suppose you can. It is still better to have to get you out of a snow-drift!

They are revising fuel labels on new vehicles being sold. I have found a site that allows you to click on the labels to understand what they actually mean: http://www.epa.gov/fueleconomy/label.htm

I don't know that I would trust taking an electric car on a very long drive just yet. Charging stations may be few and far between, and if you do find one, you may have to sit and wait a long time for it to charge....

Wow - this is very helpful. I usually have to pull up a few webpages and toggle back and forth. This makes it a lot easier!

My Thanksgiving was actually very quiet and peaceful. Just had a good meal at home. Many of my family members went out of town this week for the holiday, so we just decided to have a get-together next week.

OK, I'll admit, I never really thought about it when I started seeing cars listed as "Certified Pre-Owned". I just thought that it meant that the used car was tested and driveable. I just found out that there is more to it, so I thought I'd share...

What about for bigger cars or trucks? How do they figure it can work? It will be a while before there are nothing but electric cars....

I always thought that rental cars were in tip-top shape. At least, I can say I've never had any problems with them. I guess I was just lucky....

I only like snow for Christmas, other than that I love my warm weather. We haven't had any snow yet, and don't want any!

I can imagine that it would take a lot of time to find the parts you would need, and then once you find them, they will probably be expensive. If you think you can put forth the time and effort, go for it, otherwise it may become a project that doesn't get finished.

OK, so certain cars will be rolling out in designated cities only. I just located this list and thought I would share it: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2010/11/electric-cars-coming-to-a-city-near-you-if-you-live-here-volt-leaf-focus-ev-chart-list.html?CMP=OTC-NEWS4 I just wish I...

I have never really been a big fan of Consumer Reports, but I'd be willing to take a look at the end of the year issue. Is there an online issue, and if so, does it have the same features as the magazine?
