You may dodge the expensive repairs bullet but the longer you keep the more certain it is that your luck will run out, espcially if your Pcar is winter driven.


p.s.
regarding gas consumption from your list, the Escalade gets 18mpg highway. My Boxster does about 21 mpg.
The Ford Edge crossover/SUV thing gets 30 mpg higwhay.
Exactly!

"Should be able to pull out a paintgun and rifle the offending motorist" - Ghostrider 310

I'll bet Danger has a fully automatic paint gun that comes up out of the hood of his car at the touch of a button and targets those that annoy him as he cries "Take that, you ill-mannered lout!"
