    To keep the peace I am just going to stick with my car for now. Dianne was pulling strings and doing her best for me but no matter how good the deal I couldn't get approval. :(

    I am deciding if I should put the 15s back on so I can wear down the tread this winter then come back next summer to spank markabele! :p

    You'd need to sell the G3 as you'd get killed on trade-in.

    Edit: opps, sorry didn't see the question was all ready decided.

    47 MPG today... 168 miles of driving, with the outside temperature at just 34°F, carrying 2 bikes on back, and only 1.2 miles of electricity available.

    That's pretty dang good.

    I just bought one and told my girlfriend about it after the fact. She was a little taken aback but now she digs it.

    That worked when I bought my 2012 back in March. Since then she has watched seasons 1,2 and 3 of Sons of Anarchy and she thinks she is Gemma. I had better not push my luck after she took particular interest in the torture scenes. Then we started watching Breaking Bad and after they dissolved the drug dealers body in hydrofluoric acid I pretty much gave up the thought of trading my current car in...... :p
