Car Shopping

Since we had to sell both cars in Houston, now we have to buy at least one and probably 2 cars in a relatively short amount of time.  OK - we have 6 weeks to get at least 1 car BUT the company just doesn't understand.  It takes me MONTHS sometimes YEARS to decide what to get.

For example, I bought the Camaro in 1995 and hadn't seen anything I would even think about replacing it with until the new Challengers came on the market.  (And even then I didn't fall for it.)  We bought the Toyota in 2004 and were perfectly happy.  No thoughts of replacing it.

Now we must decide what to purchase for a commute car and a car we can comfortably ride in.  Neither can be too big because the parking spaces are tiny here and the lanes are cozy.  And yet one vehicle has to be big enough to ferry guests (and luggage) to various places. 

I can't really see life without at least a small SUV.  If we don't have one how will we get large purchases to the house and where would we put the bike rack?  But will an SUV fit in the garage? Of course it is only for a couple of years.  (BTW - there will be large purchases...that isn't going to stop!)

Back to searching....
