fbhjrI like my car. Really, I do.
But…
My station wagon that has been as far as the moon is a good little car. Yes, it’s old, it eats oil and the electrical system is possessed by evil. But, I’ve had it since before we started Phoenix Swords and it has been to more shows then a lot of the members.
But…
The car we drove down was a new Toyota Camry that only had 450 miles on it when they turned it over to me. I brought it back with more than 3000.
That car was smooth. That car was fast. That car was nice.
Driving to work today in my station wagon, I felt its 240,000 miles.
Let’s hope it isn’t like computer mice and doesn’t get jealous…

I agree with Saeble - I too am considering a Subaru Wagon, but there is also other used Saturn Wagons around, fer sure.
I've been tempted to look into a Camry Wagon, but they are exceptionally rare and would likely already be available as high mileage used cars, and their of the older mid-90's models, which once they crack the 160,000 mark really start to suffer. (as did both my '96 and now '99 LE)
