A Ford 2002 Escape!

Leather
200 HP V6
Auto
Power Everything
Moonroof
4X4
CD / Changer
5 star safety rating
front and side airbags
and ABS...

Its cool, safe, fun to drive, good MPG, and the wife loves it (which really matters).  Oh and I got a GREAT deal on it.  :D

Thats quite a few features. In my mind, a car is still something with four wheels and an engine that is used to get people from Point A to Point B. Guess I better get with the program, and pick up a Grande Latte while I'm at it.

have you considered painting it red and yellow, considering this is going to be the vehicle that drives Samus around :D:D

Raa:  I know its a Ford, but thats what the wife wanted...  If I had things my way (and I was super rich) I would have got an Audi RS4 Avant.

Rictor:  I hate coffee.  :D  Oh and red an yellow would be a good color for when I get a new (used) car...  Something that seats 2 and has an open top.

IceFire: 25 MPG.  And its a LEV.  Pretty good, but not as good as the Echo I traded in to get the Escape (40 MPG).

Yarr, mate!
I just prefer small and economic cars which work in -25 degree Celsius temperatures and can cruise small and crappy roads with ease.

So I drive Mazda. :(

Hey, yeah, does it have a voice synthesizer? uber, you could set it to say "You require more Vespene gas" when you're running low. ;)

No, but I could get a flip out screen and with internet access I could read HLP while in bumper to bumper traffic.  :)

Oh thats not safe?  You should see what I've seen other drivers doing when they are suposed to be driving.  :lol:
