You can get a Honda Fit within that price range. Very good cars if you need something that gets good mileage. They're actually fun to drive around in as well. I'd pick the fit out of the corolla and the ford focus.

Gotta have a truck! We still have my last car, 2000 Tahoe. Needs a new tranny though, haha. Definitely been great to have, even though it's not really anyone's main vehicle. I think my dad was driving it until he gets a new car or driving mine while I was gone.

Hey Nexx:

do you still need an emblem ?

____

Jason, Jake, Q, ChefJ;

I know I keep going back and forth on selling it and just getting a economical DD to get from home > work > & back. And I can ride the Bike or drive the Z on other days or weekends.

I don't really use the truck any more....and I have a bunch of friends around me in FM that all have full size trucks. So I can use theirs whenever I need to.

But I am in favor of the Fit so far & have been shopping.

That "T for Texas" isn't the slogan, right? People are going to think TX people are dumber than they already think we are.
