THanks for all your tips. I'm trading down from the Jeep to something that doesn't have 4WD because I don't have the money this time, and I'm tired of being the one person who's expected to show up at work on snow days because of my 4WD. Let someone else do it. One of my co-workers has a Hyundai Accent which is smaller than anything I've ever owned, but it looks nice and he says it's comfortable and roomy enough (he weighs at least 300 lbs.). As for misophist's suggestions, I'd rather have an Aston Martin - James Bond had one, so they must be cool. Now he drives a Beemer - what a loser he's become.
