[pianotech] Vehicle Recommendations

[Tom Driscoll]

John,
   Midlife crisis aside---- Because the only way I can have one now is if I live to 115 ! 

We kicked around this topic a few months back and I'm still intrigued by the Ford Transit. I think it will be available in either hybrid or straight electric in the future but mileage is pretty good as is. I'm all for conservancy as a life model but my service area is very compact and high gas mileage is not an imperative . I drove 32 miles on friday in my Hyundai SanteFe for three service calls . Thats two gallons tops ( under $6) 
 Anyway ,I like the look and practicality of the Ford Transit and will consider one when my present vehicle quits.

    Anyone tried or measured out the Mini Cooper?  .... I'm thinking of my mid life crisis car as a Mini, or perhaps a Miata. 



  I also love the Mini Coopers. Would love to have one, but with two growing boys, it might not be the best use of money to buy that car. :-(


  My next car will probably need to be a small SUV, although I might continue with a sedan. Currently, I'm waiting on my 1999 Honda Accord to die. It has 332K miles. I'm hoping for 400K, and then we'll see about replacement.


  The Honda Ridgeline would be fantastic, but the MPG isn't high enough for me ... not to mention the higher cost of that model. However, if I ever run into a lot of money ....
