If I had to buy a new car, it would be a Civic Si sedan. So I guess the main characteristic would be its Civic Si Sedan-ness. h:


But I guess that means:
-fits a few friends
-fun to drive
-decent on gass
-can be autocrossed in stock form without major embarrassment

1 ton 7.3 liter diesel crew cab 2wd F350

Install my conversion kit and kick back with 100+ mpg with my 40 mile commute and laugh at the suckers in their hybrids

vegie?


for me it would probably be mgp, navi, and bluetooth

the last two may seem like luxury but they are essential to me because i only sterr with 1 arm so answering the phone and reading mapquest printouts are not feasible

the mpgs because gas is killing me with the TL i havent found any other car that i like and that has all these 3 things other wise id trade in the TL

It sure is ugly but at least it's available as a hatchback.

Right now, MPG and reliablity are most important to me. Gas is already over $4/gal here and it's not even summer yet. It's only going to get worse.
