SWMBO had one and it was pretty dependable and fun to drive.  Not a bad
deal if everything works.

FourTwo or the long version?
There's a FourTwo local to me that I've been seeing this summer.
Couple weeks ago I met up with it by I-69. It went up the road towards
town, I got on I-69. So I don't know that it avoids the freeway, but I
haven't seen it go on one yet.
