Art Predator Gets A New Ride
Which car gives the most versatility, the nicest amenities, the best gas mileage, the smoothest ride for the best price with the lowest interest rate??
Which car will take us to the mountains to ski, rock climb, and backpack, let a tired driver sleep if need be, throw a bike in the back, have enough room for passengers and let in the moon, the stars and the sun for at least 20 mpg?
New or used? What’s more green–a hybrid or?
Contenders include Subaru Forrester and Outback, Toyota RAV4 and Highlander, Saturn Vue, Honda CRX, Range Rover, Ford Escape–you name it, we saw it, probably drove it, and worked the numbers. We’ve had our eye out there for a new SUV kinda car for awhile. But with the economy tanking as fast as our current drive, it was time to whip out the checkbook and sign on for a payment plan.
Yes, Art Predator stepped away from the blog for a few days to find a new ride.
We shopped the shop, test drove the cars, tossed and turned a night or two, dealt the deal–and came up with a winner–we hope! In the next few days, I’ll tell all–including tricks you can use to get the best deal on the planet! (okay, maybe I’m exagerating a little…you will know a lot more about small suvs and some of the tricks the dealers tried to use on us!)

Cool, and now you’ll have to ‘pimp your ride’. You can make it like one of your amazing art projects with poems on the doors and paintings on the bonnet. Looking forward to the tricks and the car poems and the roadtrip stories.
Yes, we’d like to hear your survey results. Mark is getting really close to needing a new car. His Acura has 250,000 miles. I keep trying to convince him to buy used, for savings really, and because Yes! there are used hybrids already. But then there’s the low battery life in hybrids. I don’t know. I just want a new bike. And a closer school. And better public transit.
