In fact after I made that big list I found a small money 300D a couple towns over on eBay. Hopefully it'll stay small money, the auction ends tomorrow, I emailed for clarification. This car will probably end up being driven a bit by the wife as her new 20 mile daily commute burns alot more gas in the 12mpg pickup truck...

For rare use, mileage is less relevant. Go for something bigger and comfy, for utility ass-hauling if nothing else. Diesels are nice 'cause they sit on the sidelines well. Hard to beat the 123/126 models for this, unless you like older stuff. -- Jim --------------------------------- Get your own web address for just $1.99/1st yr. We'll help. Yahoo! Small Business.

The Cabriolet has a nicely exposed feeling, but some of the newer ones look like they'd feel like you're sitting down in a hole. Any car where I can't comfortably rest my elbow on the window sill has too high a belt line. ;)
