Adam and Megan, I have the best solution. Buy my car. Its a Subaru Forester and I love it. What a great car and I promise nothing but good vibes coming from it. Besides its Reformed. It suits you perfectly. Of course it does have a 6 CD changer. That might be more than you need

Thanks Barbara. I love your “they’ll quickly find other things to hold against you” point. But hey, worrying is something I’m really good at. Don’t take that from me.

Sometimes you just have to say “you know, I’m not too exciting, and that’s OK.” Accord drivers unite!

p.s. I think worrying about what people think of your Prius is a little silly, though. Unless one of your alternate personalities surfaces during the interview process, I think it extremely unlikely that you would be called to a congregation where Prius drivers are stigmatized in any way…and the handful of people who might stereotype you on that basis will QUICKLY find other things to hold against you instead.

Oh, I missed the boring predictable part. Yes, you would be boring and predictable, just like Eric. Our daughters even proclaimed “Daddy is boring” when he bought the exact same car he already had only without 15 years wear and tear. You Accordians (HA!)just can’t make a switch.

We have both a CRV and an Accord. Love the CRV. A Civic hybrid is too small for Adam. Eric was crushed into the drivers seat. Tall people have special needs.

What about the Ford Escape Hybrid?

Acts 10; Romans 14:2.

The future of a strong American economy is on reducing reliance on imports. It is part of the reason the dollar is so devalued today. All the cars suggested are imports (even if some were manufactured in the US).

I am for everything a Hummer stands for, on Genesis 1:28.

Daniel, I’ll keep your comment up because I’m in a nice mood and it’s good for people to see what’s out there, but it’s ludicrous.

I am against everything a Hummer stands for, on theological, ethical, environmental, and common-sense grounds. The future of a strong American economy lies in environmentally-friendly products and technology, and the future of our world depends on it.

Great lease deal on the H2 now. Zero down, $330 a month. For a $55K car, you’re never going to see an offer like this again. Don’t get too self-righteous about “joining the ranks of SUV owners.” They are the ones keeping the economy running and keeping the global temperature steady as the earth naturally is heading to an ice age thanks to the decrease in sun spots.

Alright man – well, Sarah automatically said, “Why is he not considering a Yaris?”

I love Hondas but an Accord is too boring I think. A Civic Hybrid would be cool, but you lose TONS of trunk room (which is important to me). That’s why we like the Yaris because it has a TON of room in it – inside, trunk, etc.

If money wasn’t an issue, we probably would have gone with a Hybrid, but…it was, and the 40mpg of the Yaris at $15k brand new was pretty damn good.
