Hi John,

I always wonder about techs working in NY City - like Manhattan. Subway. =
Cabs. No personal vehicle. What do they put in their bag? Boy, you'd =
really have to be judicious!

  I still like my Dodge Minivan, long wheel base model.
  Being in a rural service area, I need the extra space to carry most =
things I need to do the job.=20
  I have previously posted pictures, showing my setup.
  In a city setup, I can see where smaller and economical are a must.

    Cy,

    .>> ; it's kind of an oversized Subaru Outback, built on a car frame =

    It actually is smaller and shorter than the Outback.  It just is a =
bit taller.  It is built on the Prieza chassis.  The Outback is not =
really built on a truck chassis.  It is just a lot beefier than the =
Forester.  I originally had considered buying a Forester because I had =
grown out of my Saturn.  After investigating, I learned that the =
Forester had almost the same cubic space inside as the Saturn wagon.  =
The Outback is much larger.  Both great cars, though.

    I love my 2001 Forester.  The 60/40 fold-down rear seat is perfect =
for sliding in an action, and the all-wheel drive will get you anywhere. =
 Handles great; it's kind of an oversized Subaru Outback, built on a car =
frame rather than a truck frame.  (The reviews say "On the road, it =
handles like a car; off-road, it handles like a car...).  Mileage is =
about 24mpg highway.

      I know what you mean, Terry, I worry about breaking something, =
also. =20



      While my car was waiting to get fixed after the near-head-on =
incident, a friend loaned me her Subaru Forester.  I loved driving it =
(she was ready to sell it to me, then changed her mind).  It has a cover =
for the storage section and places on the inside to attach bungee cords =
to hold things in place--thread the cord through tool box handles and =
attach to the car, or use a net type holder.  I learned this from a =
friend who learned the hard way that the stuff we haul goes flying in an =
accident.  The only problem is the Forester had less room and I REALLY =
had to plan and pack carefully for service calls.  It sure would have =
been nice for hauling this D action around, though.   I'm trying to find =
that "perfect" vehicle for work and family (that I can afford--ha!).  =
Perhaps a Camry station wagon.  Who knows.
