GM again

As some of you may recall, I bought a new Impala back in January. Just bought the wife one now. She = silver, Me = white.

These and other vehicles allow me to keep my Excursion in the very low original mileage condition.

I did. Ford could not touch the price GM gave me on the Impalas.

Why the Impala instead of the Malibu? Just curious. Neither spark my interest enough to ever own one but I do think the Malibu looks good and seems to be a good car.

Dollar for dollar, the Impala is a lot more car than the Malibu, IMHO.

I might buy one if his voice was the new navigation voice...

"In two hundred yards, proceed to make a left...a hard left....no, much, much more left"

If I used the "Home" feature of the navigation, would it go to Kenya?

Could have owned you a V-6 Challanger for a little less dough.
They are pretty nice cars. Sporty too.

On a business trip I got a Malibu for a rental. And while it is a nice little car, it is little. I could barely see under the top of the windshield, and the top of my head scraped the inside of the roof - was a bugger to get in and out of! I am 6'2", not too tall, and it was enough to make me miss my Ex big time!!

I did get a letter from the Osama administration thanking me for not buying another 8 mpg gas guzzler Excursion.

I wrote back and told them it's only because Ford stopped manufacturing them.

I'm probably on some kind of anti-America terrorist list by now.
