I'm too jealous to offer any advice to anyone in a position to splash out on a car.

(Flederman has an old GMC Sonoma that's good on fuel and reliable, also has room for dogs especially if you transport them Canadian style, ie loose in the back of the truck)

Oh yes, and the lid has to be non matching for best redneck effect. Flederman is a redneck in training. He'll never make a real one as he wouldn't hunt.

Nice chap, Arthur.

He must have been Canadian as he wore PJs to the Restaurant (at the End of the Universe)

Re: car recommendation
 

We got one of them! It's not longer in the weeds, you can imagine my face when we went to pick it up:eek::rofl:

Something German or Japanese if you want it to last, we've got a Toyota RAV4 and it suits us fine.

Good on fuel, large interior, and 4x4 in the snow.

Don't you mean a Ford Clitoris because every **** has one?

Re: car recommendation
 

Not sure I'd be buying a Toyota for the next few years......

My Guys a Ford guy, we almost bid on a Xterra at the weekend though - what is it with auctions these days where people pay more than you can buy them for on Kijiji????? Nutters!

Re: car recommendation
 

Not sure German or Japanese have a better rep than US or Canadian built any more.

Check out Kijiji.ca for second hand trucks in your area.

Ford Escort station wagon. Ford hasn't had as much trouble as GM and other manufacturers with financial and recall problems in recent years, and a Ford Escort station wagon is almost identical to the Ford Escort estate model found in the UK.

The station wagon gives you options on either putting the dogs in the trunk and still carrying passengers, or putting the back seats down and carrying extra cargo as well. The pic is one I found on Google, and is of a 1997-1999 model. Looking at this, one could probably pick a used 1997 model one up for around $2000, and more for a newer one with less mileage on it (130,000km = roughly 80,000 miles).
