There are lots of options between "cute" and "hual". Now, why would you need to haul the bikes? Can't you DRIVE them to your destination? Just asking. From my personal experience: Stick with Honda, Toyota, Nissan. I had a Civic that when I sold it to my MECHANIC it had 300,000 miles on it and was still purring like a Pavlovian cat. I've had a Camry (awesome), a 4X4 Toyota Tacoma (fun, fun, fun and strong as a tank!), 2 Nissan Sentras (for the budget minded...VERY reliable) and my current fav; Toyota Highlander Hybrid...can't stress enough how I adore this vehicle! Go for the 6cyl Limited Hybrid, the rear spoiler and ground effects really make it look different than the rest of the Highlanders. Ask Scott how fast it is...all I remember is him leaning back and saying "whoh! (this coming from a guy with a super charger!) Ok, enough rambling...bottom line.... Brian has a car of his own...get what YOU want.  I miss you...I wanna do Lockerbie with you!! |

Thanks for the support, guys! I really am doing fine. I didn't even get a scratch. A couple bruises, yes, but big deal. I'm completely healthy. Di, I think its HILARIOUS that you say that about me being a "pick up" girl. Brian says that all the time. I guess you guys see a side of me that I DEFINITELY don't see!  Brad, we would prefer to haul the bikes to some locations. After Scott and Brian rode their bikes to North Carolina, they've pretty much had it for long rides on sport bikes. And since we want to go to the Triumph raid at Gettysburg in September and we haven't bought a cruiser or touring bike recently, Brian is pushing for the SUV with hauling capabilities. I totally agree with you on Japanese cars. My family is pretty much completely Honda. I had a del sol, my parents have an Accord, my brother has a CRV and Brian drives an Acura.  Don't worry, I'm def going to choose the car I like best. I've got two narrowed down, and I'm going to test drive them tomorrow night. I thought about sharing my options with you guys, but I think I'll suprise you instead!  Hee hee! |

So a lot has happened since I posted last on this topic. Found out that they can't find the chick who hit me (aka, she's uninsured). So I got my insurance company involved, and two days later I got a check for more than twice the blue book value of my car (they gave me a little more than half of what it would cost to fix the thing). So! That was def good news. I made out well from my insurance, even after the $500 uninsured motorist deductable.
After I got the check on Friday, I went car shopping for 10 hours on Saturday. And I finally found the car I was looking for. I pretty much didnt take any of your advice on it, though...
Its a new to me car, it isn't Japanese, it does not have towing capabilities, but its little, and cute, and perfect.
Its a 2004 gold and black MINI COOPER! I love it. Its so cute.
So thank you for all your advice. Sorry I didn't take any of it, but I still think I made a good decision...

Speaking from my vast experience (as long time readers of the mogro road diary know) - being hit in any way shape or form sucks. At least you are okay - life will go on. But we will remember the honda del sol forever (lighter raised here)
