I wish I hadn't given my nephew my 2000 Geo Tracker 4x4. Jeez I miss that lil thing, it was green... soft top... optional 4 wheel drive and got fantastic mileage. He blew the motor within 6 months. [:o]
That's a shame, but you know... it takes a bit of work, but those things can be hella fun with a V-8 swap... [8D]
Canada has been paying more than $4.00 per gallon for some time now and if given a choice, I would not give up my SUV. In an area that has snow on the ground about six months out of the year and the most likely accident is hitting a moose, I prefer my SUV.
Plus we have a rather large family.... three adults and four kids.... a small vehicle just wouldn't work in our family.
Well owned not long ago a 4 banger 3 door saturn...but engine was going so traded in for a 6 banger(yeah a little more in gas) olds alero..gets 32 hwy..so not too bad..still....the gas prices are hurting me to some extent..I have a deep and abiding resentment towards the oil companies...something smells rotten coming from that little cess pool.....Tempting
