Yeah flex is another good option but prolly a gas guzzler. Maybe a little too pricey tho.

No thank God. I put that _____ in the meter and bounced... Then took the wrong on-ramp and had to circle by that sketchy strip club again. Then last night I noticed my VRD fog lights stopped working so I am about to bring it in the garage at work and take off the bumper and see whats going on. Not too happy right now.

I got on the wrong highway too. Wasn't lucky enough to pass a strippy tho. Did see an old crackhead with a straw in her mouth counting her $1 bills on some grungy apartment steps. Sweetnessssss.

ya she's most likely going to end up trading it in, even though it just got dropped.

we've thought about a buncha vehicles. the trailblazer, flex and pacifica are all possibilities that we've written down. other are the magnum, impala ss, and maybe one bad ___ old school Chevy wagon. you know the one with the wood paneling down the side. thoes things will fit 20 if packed right.


the mazda crossover is way to pricey for us.

You guys will find something perfect. Even if its an old wagon with wood paneling lol.


So tell me how I'm @ the dealership in hartford for an oil change and they've spent the last HOUR trying to get my xB up on a lift. They're all scared cuz its low. Am I really going to need to change my own oil for the life of this car???

i had that problem until i started keeping two blocks of 2x8 in the back seat, that and my jack. honestly thats how you gotta get it on a lift. put the blocks of wood before the ramp to the lift, drive up on the wood, making the car higher and then transition onto the ramp. i have to do that just to jack up the car.
