in all seriousness I abandoned a 99 Suburban last fall after the transmission went out for the THIRD time! I was in a hurry and bought a '98 Windstar. it's ok and gets me around but I wasn't paying attention to the fact that the back windows do not open. that's pretty much a must when I have the dog with me in this weather so she does not get to ride around as much as she used to. back at home I have been restoring a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser that had sat in a pasture for almost 10 years. it's up and running, licensed even. I did ski season with it, but didn't think it would make the drive here. it still needs work and is horrid in heavy traffic. I'm thinkink of picking up a 450cc something for the commute.
I hate automatics and really enjoy driving a manual transmission. my Suburban was my first automatic.
