Not as odd as you might imagine. My wife is thinking of buying a new
vehicle. Let's see, we're down to the short list of (if she had her way) a
Trailblazer, a Forester, a (Ford minivan, name escapes me at the moment), a
Ford Explorer, a Kia Sedona, a Hyundai Santa Fe and . . . a PRELUDE!!! (do
they still make that? she used to own one and loved it, wants another) I'm
pulling for the Sedona as the least of the evils. :) -Dave

That's quite the list of mechanical nightmares (excluding the Forester).
No they don't make the Prelude anymore but she might consider a Honda
Odyssey given the other choices.

Isn't it odd how statistics don't compare how many accidents were avoided by
small cars vs. the accidents avoided by larger vehicles? I'm sure it would
be a real eye-opener. Unfortunately, we'll never see the statistics for the
accidents that were avoided. -Dave

Now fast forward fifteen years. Which do you think handles better . . . a
15 year old shitbox SUV with bald tires or a 30 year old shitbox car with
bald tires? Hint: It aint even close, assuming that they are both still on
the road. -Dave
