YAY!!!

Now, go buy here a Corvette.


If you haven't, check out a BMW 330i or 330ci. It is sporty,
gobs of power and handles beautifully.
The 330ci is a convertable. The top is double layered and
insulated. With it up you cannot distinguish it as being a
convertible, noise or cold-wise.

Or the 335i. Twin turbos in a BMW!

My wife is more into "cute" cars than "performance" cars, and also (a
paradox) likes to sit higher in a heavier vehicle than most sports or
sporty cars allow. It's going to take a while for her to find what
she really wants, when and if she devotes some time to the task.

Hmmm. A pick-me-up truck?


Have you looked at the Toyota Highlander? No, it is not a pickup but
a small SUV with a car-like ride. My wife has one and loves it.



We have a 4Runner she drives now. I like the Highlander, too, but it is
a frameless SUV and as you imply, a car, not a truck. The 4Runner has a
traditional truck frame. Still, the highlander has a lot of appeal.

If I can keep the wife working, the Toyota Highlander may be my next
vehicle. It should handle my 2000 pound boat/trailer tow weight easily.

With the towing package and the six cylinder, you should be able to tow up
to 3500 lbs, which should do the job easily. A friend has the Highlander,
and he loves it.

Ever see "Groove Tube"?

There is a great scene in it where a Hispanic type gives English
lessons. He holds up a model '57 Chevy, points to the flames and
says:

"Flambes - Flames"...

Ok, it doesn't come off in print, but it was pretty funny. :)

I can't get my wife to retire - she's having too much fun.
