    So, are you entertaining clients in the Caddy for awhile, or have you has your lease-an-idiot guy actually come up with some choices for you?

    I'm going to run the Cadillac & Miata for a few weeks.

    So far no one has come up with a good replacement for the Expedition, unless it was yet another Expedition. Not really interested in a third Expedition.....

    I know you were looking at Exploders... have you considered the new Pathfinders? More than enough grunt to tow the Miata, plenty of room inside, well-appointed, available with nav, and most importantly... it isn't a Ford!

    Yes. There was one parked on Main Street in downtown Dallas last week. Looks great. If prices on them start to tank, I can't say I wouldn't be tempted.

    I like the looks of the new Toyota Avalon. The car magazines like it. I have no idea what leases are like. Do your clients like to see you in an American car or truck?

    Just got back from the dealership, it is gone!

    Have Vivid come and give us a ride home, we realized with the 'spedition gone, this is the fewest cars we have owned in over 20 years!

    Ford guy who did my termination paperwork seemed confused that I was not interested in any of his products.

    I looked at the Avalon, didn't drive it just looked. It's the best rendition of a Buick ever done by a Japanese car company! It should be a Lexus it's sweet!

    I'm not looking forward to driving the in-law's Avalon when it shows up. Maybe Toyota did better this time around.
    Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org

    I could see my 64-year old father driving an Avalon with a trunk full of golf clubs. I can't quite picture POS driving an Avalon. He doesn't have an AARP card yet.

    He doesn't?

    Has anyone seen the Avalon commercial that claims to save you 1/5 of a second via automatic wipers?
    “It takes 1/5th of a second to turn on your wipers, but what if your car could recognize it’s raining, and turn your wipers on for you? That would mean 1/5 of a second extra with your family, 1/5 of a second extra with your friends. Think of how much better your life would be.”
    I haven't laughed that hard from a commercial in a long time!
