Cars
Dad and I went out looking at cars yesterday, since he's getting me one as a wedding present, so Beck can take the Cruiser to school with her. We only had time to look at two places, but we've essentially narrowed it down to two cars, one at each place.
At the first place we checked out a Cobalt, but it was the basic model (as in, no power anything), and I couldn't adjust the side mirrors to where I wanted them, so that one got ruled out pretty quickly. We also looked at a Malibu, and it was pretty cool, with a lot of features, including an info feature that tells you your average speed and how far you'll be able to go on the gas you have left (approximately), among other things.
At the second place I drove a Sonata, which was really nice. The guy helping us out wasn't as big on showing off the features as the guy at the first place, so I'm not sure what all the features it has are, but what I saw looked really nice. We also checked out a couple of 07 Cruisers. One was super-yellow, but had a sign on top saying "Extra Clean" (the guy told me what that meant, but I don't remember any more). I played around with the other one, which was a purple-blue kind of color, and it was a lot of fun, with a motorized seat adjuster and all that, but I wasn't really looking for another Cruiser. Besides, after driving the Sonata, the Cruiser felt kind of rough.
The guy also wanted to show us a Sable, but it had way more mileage than we wanted, so that was right out.
So we narrowed it down to the Malibu and the Sonata. I'm leaning more toward the Sonata, personally, but either one would be nice.
